Common Robots A/S and Robotiq Inc. yesterday unveiled a robotic palletizing system at CES 2026. The businesses created the system in collaboration with Siemens AG.
The system combines Robotiq’s PAL Prepared palletizing cell with Common Robots’ UR20 force- and power-limited robotic arm. They’re built-in into Siemens’ automation {hardware} and the Digital Twin Composer software program it launched on the occasion.
“Our work with Robotiq and Common Robots exemplifies what can occur once you combine collectively superior automation and real-time digital twins with the facility of commercial AI,” said Stuart McCutcheon, international vp of gross sales and buyer success at Siemens Digital Industries.
“Siemens is proud to collaborate with Common Robots and Robotiq to deliver the economic metaverse to life at CES and reveal how producers can really innovate sooner, optimize operations, and unlock new efficiencies,” he stated.
System makes use of digital twins to enhance real-world effectivity
Designed to assist an organization’s operational wants, the system palletizes bins of chips and drinks. It makes use of digital twin analytics to optimize gripper efficiency and suction factors dynamically.
“This collaboration with Common Robots and Siemens demonstrates how lean palletizing, mixed with cutting-edge digital twin expertise, may also help corporations enhance effectivity and adapt rapidly to altering calls for,” stated Samuel Bouchard, CEO of Lévis, Canada-based Robotiq.
With information captured utilizing Siemens’ Industrial Edge {hardware} after which streamed to its Insights Hub Copilot, the demonstrator offers real-time insights into cell habits. The businesses stated this presents the state of affairs in a real-time photorealistic surroundings constructed utilizing Siemens’ new Digital Twin Composer.
“The seamless integration of our heavy-duty UR20 robotic with Robotiq’s palletizing cell and Siemens’ superior automation and software program exhibits how digital and bodily innovation can work hand in hand to rework manufacturing environments and ship measurable ROI,” stated Jean-Pierre Hathout, president of Teradyne Robotics, the dad or mum firm of Common Robots.
Siemens says Digital Twin Composer applies AI at scale
Siemens stated its Digital Twin Composer builds industrial metaverse environments at scale. The corporate stated the software program empowers organizations to use industrial AI, simulation, and real-time bodily information to make choices nearly, at velocity, and at scale.
Digital Twin Composer permits industrial corporations to mix 2D and 3D information from Siemens’ complete digital twin with bodily real-time data. It does this in a managed, safe, photorealistic visible scene, constructed utilizing NVIDIA Omniverse libraries.
With Digital Twin Composer, Siemens stated corporations can quickly construct and keep this international surroundings, containing all features of their product or manufacturing information (each digital and bodily). It does this in a safe, managed high-fidelity 3D expertise all through the lifecycle of the product, course of, or facility.
Digital Twin Composer offers contextualized, real-time insights enabling corporations to visualise, work together with, and iterate on any product, course of, or manufacturing unit in its real-world context earlier than bodily design or development, added Siemens.
CES attendees can see the demonstration at Siemens’ sales space, No. 8725 within the North Corridor of the Las Vegas Conference Middle.
