Universal Robots and Robotiq, in collaboration with Siemens, released a new palletizing offering at CES 2026 in Las Vegas.
At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Universal Robots (UR), part of Teradyne Robotics, and Robotiq have unveiled a robotic palletizing offering in collaboration with Siemens.
The companies said that the joint demonstration in Las Vegas highlights how advanced robotics and digital twin technology can accelerate industrial transformation for manufacturers worldwide.
The offering combines Robotiq’s PAL Ready palletizing cell with Universal Robots’ UR20 robot arm, integrated into Siemens’ automation hardware and new Digital Twin Composer software – which was launched at the event.
“Our work with Robotiq and Universal Robots exemplifies what can happen when you mix together advanced automation and real-time digital twins with the power of industrial AI,” said Stuart McCutcheon, global vice president of sales and customer success, Siemens Digital Industries. “Siemens is proud to collaborate with Universal Robots and Robotiq to bring the industrial metaverse to life at CES and demonstrate how manufacturers can truly innovate faster, optimize operations and unlock new efficiencies.”
Designed to support a company’s operational needs, the companies said that the system palletizes boxes of chips and beverages, utilizing digital twin analytics to optimize gripper performance and suction points dynamically.
“This collaboration with Universal Robots and Siemens demonstrates how Lean Palletizing, combined with cutting-edge digital twin technology, can help companies boost efficiency and adapt quickly to changing demands," said Samuel Bouchard, CEO of Robotiq.
With data captured using Siemens’ Industrial Edge hardware and then streamed to Siemens’ Insights Hub Copilot, the companies said that the demonstrator provides real-time insights into cell behavior, reinforcing the theme of ‘digital AI meets physical AI’ and presents it in a real-time photorealistic environment built using the new Digital Twin Composer software.
“The seamless integration of our heavy-duty UR20 robot with Robotiq’s palletizing cell and Siemens’ advanced automation and software shows how digital and physical innovation can work hand-in-hand to transform production environments and deliver measurable ROI,” said JP Hathout, president of the Teradyne Robotics Group.
