Yesterday I visited the Siemens Erlangen WEF Digital Lighthouse Factory in Germany where, together with our close collaborator Siemens, we brought together leaders from 16 electronics and semiconductor companies to talk advanced robotics, automation and scalability. These two industries face unique automation challenges: the need for extreme precision, in high-mix production environments, handling fragile components. Our own research confirms that these are the very reasons some manufacturers have held back from automating more extensively. But it’s time to rethink what automation can do. Advanced robotics— #cobots, #mobilerobots, and intelligent #automation systems—are now capable of handling the tasks that were once considered “too hard” to automate. And because of mature standards and advanced technologies, electronics and semiconductor companies are well positioned to scale fast. Thanks to our partners, including particularly Siemens, integration is frictionless. Digital twins, plug-and-play interoperability, and turnkey solutions are helping manufacturers deploy faster, with less risk and more impact. The companies we met today were early to automate core processes. They’ll be quick to scale the next wave. Thank you to our friends at Siemens, including Katharina Westrich, Global VP Electronics, Semiconductor and Simulation, pictured with me here.

We have patented a health-assistive Robotic Arm with AI technology that can be fitted with a toilet bowl to clean the anal and genitals for needy users, individuals with disabilities, impairments, or other limitations, and elderly people who cannot perform their anal and genital washing by themselves. It can also clean the toilet seat cover after every use to maintain its hygienic condition for the next user. Please reach out to us to acquire it and launch the product globally!

Thank you, Jean-Pierre Hathout! It was a pleasure to welcome you and your team, our customers and partners to our Siemens Erlangen Factory — a flagship site for industrial innovation and digital transformation. Our collaboration with Teradyne is shaping the future of semiconductor and electronics manufacturing through AI-driven automation and the seamless integration of mobile industrial and collaborative robots. The day in Erlangen underscored our shared vision: smarter, more flexible production powered by cutting-edge robotics and digital technologies. Exciting times ahead as we continue to push boundaries — together!

It was a great event! I’m happy I could participate.

Hello, I’m reaching out because I own URAutomation.com, a short and brand-relevant domain that perfectly matches your identity (UR) and core industry (automation). I believe this could strengthen your brand positioning compared to your current, longer domain. If this is of interest, I’d be happy to discuss further. Best regards, Anas
