What 2026 looks like for us and our industry?

How we see the year ahead for Automation, Metrology, and Industry

2026, a clear path forward

A practical outlook for Automation and Metrology

A year of steady growth, driven by demand

We expect solid growth in 2026, especially in automotive and precision manufacturing. More companies are asking for stable, integrated measurement solutions they can implement quickly and expand over time. We are scaling our operations to meet this demand with tools and workflows we know work well, like EDAS.

Expanding in regions that prioritize precision

We are seeing increasing interest from manufacturers in Eastern Europe, North America, and Asia. These regions are investing in metrology automation not for novelty, but to meet stricter tolerances and reduce downtime. In 2026, we will grow our presence in these markets through concrete customer partnerships and technical support that is grounded in local production realities.

Inline Metrology as a standard offering

Inline measurement is no longer an innovation topic in our conversations. It is a starting point. In 2026, we expect most new projects to include some level of inline capability. EDAS helps manufacturers introduce this step by step, using existing hardware and making their quality control more continuous without overhauling everything.

Open systems as a competitive advantage

We have seen that companies who adopt open systems have a real advantage. They adapt faster and scale more smoothly. In 2026, we continue building on this with wider EDAS integrations. Customers are using our platform not just as software, but as a way to unify multiple tools into one repeatable workflow.

"We build, not chase."

Long-term projects with measurable goals

Our strongest projects this year are ones with a clear scope and measurable outcomes. We are working on full-factory quality control rollouts, where our system connects to ERP and MES platforms and reports in real time. Customers want reliability and maintainability, not black box promises. That is exactly what we are building with them.

A practical approach to data

We do not see every customer ready to build live data pipelines, but the need for clarity and usability is growing. In 2026, our focus is on helping manufacturers understand what data they have, what is worth collecting, and how to use it meaningfully.

Building tools for the operators

We are investing in usability, clear interfaces, simplified setup, and teachable automation logic. Many of our customers have skilled operators who just need tools that make sense. Our training approach in 2026 focuses on building internal know-how at the customer site, reducing support dependency and improving uptime.

A maturing market and a clear role for us

The automation and metrology market is maturing. Companies know what they need, and they are careful about what they invest in. Our role in 2026 is to stay consistent, offer systems that are technically solid, easy to maintain, and ready to scale. We are not chasing trends. We are supporting manufacturers who want to build better, for the long run.
