Flagship industry platform to unite global automation leaders, startups and system integrators as India moves from pilot projects to scaled adoption
Bengaluru, NFAPost: As India’s manufacturing and logistics sectors accelerate their shift toward intelligent automation, Teradyne Robotics has announced ‘ElevateX 2026’, its flagship industry engagement, scheduled to take place in Bengaluru on February 10, 2026. The event will be hosted by Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots, both part of the Teradyne Robotics portfolio.
Positioned as a high-impact platform for industry dialogue and ecosystem collaboration, ElevateX 2026 aims to bring together senior industry leaders, automation experts, startups, system integrators and media to examine how collaborative, flexible and human-centric automation is redefining productivity and competitiveness across modern industrial environments.
From Automation Pilots to Scaled Impact
Automation, long discussed as a future imperative, is now entering a decisive phase in India. Enterprises are increasingly moving beyond isolated pilot projects to large-scale, outcome-driven deployment, driven by the need for agility, resilience and cost efficiency.
ElevateX 2026 is being positioned against this backdrop—as a forum to assess how intelligent automation is reshaping manufacturing, intralogistics, warehousing and emerging industrial sectors, while keeping human workers at the centre of the transformation.
The focus, organisers say, is no longer on replacing people, but on augmenting human capability through collaborative technologies that are safe, adaptable and easy to deploy.
A Strategic Platform for the Automation Ecosystem
The one-day engagement will feature leadership interactions, curated panel discussions and live engagements, offering participants practical insights into real-world automation adoption. A key highlight of the agenda will be closed-door roundtable conversations with industry and startup leaders, designed to encourage candid exchanges on innovation, implementation challenges and the future trajectory of automation-led growth.
By bringing together stakeholders from across the value chain—technology providers, end users, startups and integrators—ElevateX 2026 seeks to foster cross-pollination of ideas and challenge conventional approaches to industrial automation.
“Automation today is being shaped as much by intelligence and flexibility as by design that respects human workflows,” said industry observers familiar with the event’s positioning. “Platforms like ElevateX are increasingly important to align ambition with real-world execution.”
Human-Centric Automation Takes Centre Stage
A defining theme of ElevateX 2026 is human-centric automation—the idea that robots and intelligent systems should work alongside people, enhancing safety, efficiency and job quality rather than displacing the workforce.
Collaborative robots and autonomous mobile robots are already finding widespread application in Indian factories and warehouses, particularly among SMEs and fast-scaling startups, due to their relatively low barrier to entry and rapid return on investment.
ElevateX will explore how such technologies can be scaled sustainably, and how Indian enterprises can integrate automation into their growth strategies without disrupting existing operations.
Leadership Engagement and Key Announcements
Senior leadership from Teradyne Robotics will engage with media and industry stakeholders through dedicated interactions during the event. The company has indicated that key announcements and technology highlights will be shared at the press conference scheduled on the day of ElevateX 2026.
These interactions are expected to shed light on Teradyne Robotics’ broader vision for India—one of its fastest-growing markets—and its roadmap for supporting enterprises as they navigate the next phase of automation adoption.
Bengaluru as the Automation Nerve Centre
The choice of Bengaluru as the host city underscores its position as a national hub for manufacturing innovation, deep-tech startups and industrial R&D. With a strong talent base and an increasingly automation-ready industrial ecosystem, the city has emerged as a natural convening point for conversations on the future of robotics and intelligent systems.
As India’s automation story evolves from experimentation to execution, ElevateX 2026 is set to become more than an industry event—it is being positioned as a strategic checkpoint, bringing the ecosystem together to define how human-centric automation can translate vision into measurable, real-world impact.
