According to TechCrunch, Industrial Next announced a partnership with the BMW Group Technology Office on stage. It covers the evaluation of the company's AI-driven fine manipulation in an industrial setting.

The company builds autonomous robotic stations based on its own AI models. According to the company, a production line can be reconfigured in minutes rather than several weeks, without conventional programming.

According to co-founder Lukas Pankau, some of its stations are already used to make one of the world's best-selling smartphones. The customer is not named. The robots, for example, thread a fragile flexible cable and snap on a tiny connector cap.
