Universal Robots and Robotiq have unveiled a robotic palletizing solution at CES 2026 in collaboration with Siemens. The joint demonstration in Las Vegas highlights how advanced robotics and digital twin technology can accelerate industrial transformation for manufacturers worldwide. The solution combines Robotiq's PAL Ready palletizing cell with Universal Robots' UR20 robot arm, integrated into Siemens' automation hardware and new Digital Twin Composer software - launched at the event.

Visitors to the Siemens booth #8725 in the LVCC North Hall will experience a digital-meets-physical showcase, where a fully simulated palletizing cell is rendered photo-realistically in real time and paired with a live hardware demonstration. Digital Twin Meets Real-World Efficiency: Designed to support a company's operational needs, the system palletizes boxes of chips and beverages, leveraging digital twin analytics to optimize gripper performance and suction points dynamically. With data captured using Siemens' Industrial Edge hardware, and then streamed to Siemens' Insights Hub Copilot, the demonstration provides real-time insights into cell behavior, reinforcing the theme of 'digital AI meets physical AI' and presents it in a real-time photorealistic environment built using Siemens' new Digital Twin Composer software.
