Automation, Robotics & Industry 4.0

BOSTON – November 13, 2026 -- Laminar has joined the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork as a Technology Partner, giving manufacturers that run Rockwell technology access to its inline fluid sensors for Clean-in-Place (CIP) and product changeover processes. Rockwell (NYSE: ROK) employs about 26,000 people in more than 100 countries as of fiscal year-end 2025, and Laminar says the partnership lets it extend its technology across Rockwell Automation environments.

Laminar's patented inline spectral sensors feed machine learning models that identify fluid conditions and transitions in real time. Connected to industrial control systems, the output supports AI-based process decisions in place of recipes and fixed timers, according to the company. Under that approach, a cleaning cycle would end when sensors detect a change in fluid state, not when a preset timer runs out.

Munich – November 12, 2026 -- Suntek's stereo-vision and RTK robotic mower, built on Fibocom's solutions, entered initial mass production in Q4 2025. Production continues in 2026, and sales are expanding into North America. Fibocom and Suntek are presenting the two-model lineup at electronica 2026 in Munich.

Suntek's monocular-vision entry model is already deployed at commercial scale in Europe

The entry-level mower targets lawns up to 600 m2. It uses a single camera and AI algorithms to identify grass boundaries and obstacles and to plan mowing routes without buried perimeter wires. Fibocom says the streamlined sensor design balances hardware cost, complexity and ease of deployment.
