Our proprietary, scalable solution enables data from 2,500 machines, including robots and servos, to be analysed and interpreted in real time - without the need for human intervention. AI not only predicts anomalies, but also supports dynamic operational decision-making, becoming a new link in the automation architecture. It's a step towards the smart factory, where robotic data ceases to be just a logo - it becomes a source of real advantage.

The Use of AI and Robotics in Semiconductor Sensor Manufacturing
Tomasz Kołcon, Łukasiewicz - PIAP
Can a robot support manual semiconductor production without complex configuration? In sensor manufacturing—where precision, flexibility, and repeatability are key—we are implementing a solution that makes this possible. As part of the international AI-PRISM project, we are testing a system that leverages artificial intelligence and robotics to significantly improve the production process. The solution operates under real-world conditions, where AI and executive devices not only assist operators but also have a tangible impact on the quality and efficiency of production. It’s a step toward accessible, scalable automation—even for complex, low-volume processes.
15:40 - 15:50
Summary and conclusion of the conference
The conference theme concerns the dynamically developing trend in the field of automation and robotization of industry, which is the use of artificial intelligence.
In industrial practice, both the use of machine learning (LM) and innovative solutions based on generative artificial intelligence using Large Language Models (LLM) are visible.
The conference will open with an introductory lecture on the issues of artificial intelligence, showing its current state and directions of development in relation to applications in automation and robotization of industry.
In subsequent presentations, representatives of leading companies and research units related to the subject will present to conference participants practical examples of the use of artificial intelligence in automation and robotization of industry.
The range of presented cases includes, among others:
• Automation of quality control using vision systems, from which data is processed by artificial intelligence algorithms. Such solutions allow for a significant improvement in the efficiency of selecting defective parts thanks to the introduction of teaching their recognition.
• Automation of correcting identified irregularities in production lines based on the analysis of data from vision systems and identification of the causes of “bottlenecks”.
• Pre-emptive identification of potential irregularities in the operation of executive units in automation systems, e.g. pneumatic and electric drives, thanks to the use of artificial intelligence to analyze data from sensors.
• Maintaining the assumed functionality and efficiency of robotic systems through pre-emptive identification of potential component failures
• Use of artificial intelligence in intralogistics automation on the example of a system for central management and monitoring of a heterogeneous fleet of AMR autonomous robots in real time.
• Use of Large Language Models to create flexible and easy-to-use automation systems.
• Modern control platforms cooperating with AI applications in industrial applications. Examples of practical applications
The conference is planned to be attended by leading companies in the subject area, including: : Siemens, KUKA, Festo, Bosch Rexroth, Rockwell Automation, Fanuc, Mitsubishi Electric, Advantech, AIUT, ASTOR and representatives of the scientific community and research units.
The speakers’ speeches will be accompanied by presentations of solutions presented at demonstration stands located in Conference Room No. 1. One of the presented attractions is a robotic stand for gripping previously unknown objects, using vision software based on deep learning.
Presentations and demonstrators will allow conference participants to better recognize the possibilities of artificial intelligence in shaping a new image of automation and robotization of the industry.
During the conference, there is a possibility of direct contact with the speakers in a specially prepared conversation zone – stand no.……

Człowiek, dzięki zmysłowi wzroku może koordynować pracę swoich rąk.
Krzysztof Kamiński, CEO / Alnea
Jest dzięki temu precyzyjny, wie co i gdzie robić. Standardowe roboty przemysłowe, działające głównie w oparciu o zaprogramowane trajektorie, nie posiadają tej zdolności.
W kontekście rosnących wymagań dotyczących elastyczności produkcji oraz pracy z obiektami o zmiennej pozycji i kształcie, coraz większe znaczenie zyskują systemy wizyjne. Kamera staje się „okiem” robota, umożliwiając mu lokalizację elementów, inspekcję jakościową, a także zwiększenie precyzji i bezpieczeństwa operacji. Kiedy zatem „widzący” robot to korzyść w aplikacjach robotycznych?

Summary and conclusion of the conference
At a time when intelligent industrial systems are becoming the backbone of innovation and artificial intelligence is revolutionising manufacturing processes and becoming increasingly integrated into industry, cyber security issues are becoming crucial to protecting modern production lines and all robotic and automated systems installed in factories, plants and warehouses.
The ‘Cyber Security, Stupid!’ conference is a direct response to the issues raised on the first day of Warsaw Industry Automatica, where the theme is the role of AI in shaping the future of automation and robotisation.
A hacker in the Factory? It’s not a movie script, it’s a potential reality!
While innovations in machine learning and the use of large language models are opening up new opportunities, at the same time they are generating new challenges in protecting data and systems. Understanding potential threats and implementing effective security strategies is not a luxury, but a necessity in the era of Industry 4.0.
The conference ‘Cyber security, stupid!’ aims to raise awareness of cyber threats that can affect robotic applications and intelligent automation systems. We will focus on the practical aspects of securing these technologies, looking at both vulnerabilities and effective methods of addressing them, supported by concrete real-life examples.
An essential step towards security – the NIS 2 Directive
In the context of increasing cyber security requirements, the crucial role of the NIS 2 Directive cannot be overlooked. This EU law, which will soon come into force, sets new, higher standards for the protection of IT systems. Companies in the industrial sector, especially those using advanced automation and robotics technologies, will need to adapt their systems and procedures to the requirements of NIS 2. The ‘Cyber Security, Stupid!’ conference will provide a comprehensive discussion of these requirements and practical guidance on how to implement them. Understanding and implementing the requirements of NIS 2, is not only a matter of legal compliance, but more importantly an investment in a secure and stable future for your business.
Practical Case Studies – First Hand Knowledge
There is no better way to understand the challenges and solutions than to analyse specific implementation and security cases. That is why, during our conference, special attention will be paid to the presentation of case studies carried out by leading Polish companies affiliated to the Association of Employers Forum for Automation and Robotics of Poland {FAIRP]. Companies that have confirmed their presence and presentations include: AIUT, ASTOR, Alnea, Anzena, Dynacon, Encon, II4, KS Industry Solutions, ProCobot and invited guests.
Representatives from these companies will present real-life scenarios they have faced and the methods they have used to keep their systems safe. These will include:
– Securing AI vision systems:
– Protecting autonomous robot fleet management (AMR) systems:
– Securing control platforms:
Why attend?
– You will gain access to practical knowledge and case studies from industry leaders.
– You will understand the specifics of cyber threats in the context of modern automation and robotics.
– You will learn effective methods for securing industrial systems.
– You will network with industry experts and practitioners.
In an era of digitalisation and increasing reliance on intelligent systems, cyber security is becoming the foundation for stable and sustainable industrial development. Don’t wait for an attack – secure your future today by learning from the experiences of others!
