AI-enabled IQ platform helps manufacturers quickly convert unstructured project data, 3D site scans and production requirements into validated robotic Workcell designs
QUEBEC CITY: #Cobots--Robotiq today introduced IQ, an AI-enabled platform designed to make robotic Workcell integration faster, more predictable, and easier to scale. Enabling a much–needed shift from a manual, expert-dependent approach to automatic integration, IQ captures unstructured automation project data, coordinates engineering workflows, and helps partners generate validated Workcell designs based on real customer inputs and historical deployment data from thousands of previous factory installations.
“Automation does not scale when integration remains manual,” said Samuel Bouchard, CEO of Robotiq. “With IQ, we are moving from manually engineering robotic systems one project at a time to automatically generating Workcells from real customer inputs, Robotiq components, AI, and proven know-how from thousands of past projects. For manufacturers, this means a clearer path to automation: fewer surprises, faster decisions, more predictable performance, and better financial justification, including in many 1-shift operations.”
Shifting from manual integration to Automatic Integration
Robotic Workcell integration depends on thousands of small details. Customer requirements, production constraints, factory floor layouts, site measurements, throughput targets, product variants, and local installation realities all affect whether a project succeeds. When that data is incomplete, fragmented or siloed, engineering teams experience project delays during the discovery and design revision phases.
IQ resolves these bottlenecks by turning scattered project information into actionable insights and a coordinated digital project workflow.
With IQ, system integrators and manufacturing partners leverage the following capabilities:
IQ is available today for robotic palletizing applications, where Robotiq has already standardized the hardware components, software workflows, and deployment knowledge needed to generate validated Workcell designs. Over time, Robotiq plans to extend the same Automatic Integration model to additional robotic applications.
Amplifying partner capabilities in automation
To commission robotic systems successfully, manufacturers need local system integration support, application expertise, and reliable service. Robotiq partners play that role. IQ provides partners with a repeatable digital workflow to capture project information, apply Robotiq deployment expertise, collaborate with customers and Robotiq experts, and support Workcells more consistently after installation.
“IQ does not replace partner expertise,” Bouchard added. “It amplifies this expertise to accelerate and scale projects. Manufacturers need local partners who understand their production reality and can provide the installation capacity and support needed to keep lines running. IQ gives those partners better information, better coordination, and a clearer path from opportunity to running system.”
Live demonstration at the Robotiq User Conference 2026
At the Robotiq User Conference (RUC) 2026 this week, Robotiq is demonstrating how partners can use IQ to move from initial application input to a running Workcell in as little as 24 hours.
During the live demonstration, partners use IQ to capture requirements, extract project data from conversations and files, 3D scan the task environment, simulate performance, and prepare the Workcell for operation and support.
The demonstration shows Robotiq’s direction for Automatic Integration: Workcells generated from connected inputs, proven components, partner expertise, and repeatable deployment knowledge.
