OnLogic to Showcase Practical Physical AI and Full-Facility Workload Consolidation at Automate 2026
OnLogic, a leader in industrial computing, is set to showcase its innovative edge solutions at the Automate 2026 show, taking place from June 22-25 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. Positioned at Booth 867, the company aims to highlight practical applications of Physical AI and advanced workload consolidation, moving beyond the prevalent cloud AI hype. As industries increasingly seek to implement artificial intelligence, many face challenges such as cloud latency and high bandwidth costs. OnLogic's VP of Product Engineering, Sheldon Sun, emphasizes the need for reliable edge computing to enable real-time operations in demanding environments. The company will demonstrate how its robust hardware can effectively bridge the gap between sophisticated software and the realities of modern industrial settings. Attendees can expect live demonstrations, including a forklift near-miss detection system powered by edge computing and an automated quality control inspection using advanced machine vision. OnLogic will also present a range of industrial and edge computing solutions, including the Helix 520 Series and the ultra-compact CL260 fanless computer, designed for various applications within the industrial sector. For more information on OnLogic's offerings and to engage with their team during the event, visitors are encouraged to stop by Booth 867 or visit their website.
