Flex and Teradyne Robotics are expanding their partnership.
Advanced manufacturing and supply chain partner Flex and Teradyne Robotics announced an expansion of their collaboration, as the companies look to accelerate intelligent automation across global manufacturing.
Under the expanded relationship, Flex plays a dual role by deploying Teradyne Robotics offerings within its own production facilities, while manufacturing key robotics components that enable scalable automation deployments for Teradyne Robotics customers worldwide.
The companies said that Teradyne Robotics’ brands Universal Robots (UR) and Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) play a central role in the partnership. Flex manufactures key components for UR while deploying its collaborative industrial robots (cobots) and MiR autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in Flex production environments. Flex and Teradyne said that the combination of manufacturing and real-world deployment provides continuous operational feedback, validating robotics technologies at scale and enabling faster replication of successful automation workflows.
"For more than 20 years, Flex and Teradyne have partnered to deliver semiconductor equipment at global scale," said Dennis Kirkpatrick, president of lifestyle, consumer devices and core industrial, Flex. "Expanding our relationship into robotics and intelligent automation builds on a strong foundation, combining Teradyne Robotics' industry-leading technologies with Flex's advanced manufacturing capabilities, global footprint and execution expertise."
Flex said that it supports Teradyne with advanced manufacturing, systems integration and global supply chain execution for semiconductor test platforms used across electronics and semiconductor production environments.
The companies said that extending the partnership into manufacturing automation technologies reflects a natural evolution, utilizing shared expertise to address rising complexity, scale requirements, and the need for greater flexibility across modern production operations.
"Flex's experience in manufacturing complex products across industries, combined with its global scale and resilient supply chain, makes it an ideal partner for advancing intelligent automation," said Jean-Pierre Hathout, president of the Teradyne Robotics Group. "Together, we're accelerating the adoption of robotics technologies that improve productivity, flexibility and operational resilience across manufacturing environments worldwide."
As part of its ongoing work to advance next-generation automation, Teradyne Robotics said that it is integrating emerging physical AI technologies into its collaborative industrial robots and AMRs to help manufacturers address growing operational complexity. By combining these capabilities with Flex's manufacturing background and real-world deployment environments, the two companies said that they are accelerating the validation and scaling of more adaptive, intelligent automation technologies that can respond to dynamic production needs and improve consistency, throughput and efficiency across applications and global facilities.
