Optica Online Industry Meeting: Industrial Automation
27 April 2027 10:00 - 11:30
Eastern Daylight/Summer Time (US & Canada) (UTC -04:00)
Join us for the Optica Online Industry Meeting on Industrial Automation, exploring how AI, machine vision, robotics, and real-time sensing are transforming factories into autonomous, adaptive, and data-driven environments. As industries face growing pressure to improve efficiency, resilience, quality, and workforce productivity, photonic and optical technologies are becoming critical enablers of intelligent manufacturing systems capable of autonomous inspection, predictive maintenance, adaptive process control, and high-throughput operations.
This session will bring together manufacturers, automation providers, photonics companies, AI developers, and industrial end-users to discuss the technologies shaping next-generation industrial ecosystems. Attendees will gain insights into machine vision and AI-driven inspection, optical sensing, robotics, industrial IoT infrastructure, digital twins, LiDAR and 3D sensing, and the integration challenges surrounding hardware, software, and connected automation systems in real-world manufacturing and logistics environments.
