CeiliX wins Automate Innovation Award

CeiliX has received the Innovation Award in the Automation Systems category at the Automate Show 2026 while also being named one of the Top 10 finalists in the prestigious Startup Challenge 2026. With more than 1000 exhibitors, the Automate Show is North America’s largest event for robotics, artificial intelligence, and industrial automation, bringing together the industry’s leading innovators each year.

Together with a successful exhibition in Chicago, these achievements mark another important step in CeiliX’s international expansion and reinforce the company’s growing presence in the US market.

The Automate Innovation Award recognized CeiliX for its pioneering approach to industrial automation. By transforming unused ceiling space into intelligent infrastructure, the company’s modular platform moves material flow above the production floor, freeing valuable workspace while creating new possibilities for flexible factory design.

Combining ceiling-mounted rail technology, autonomous vehicles, and robotics, the platform integrates seamlessly into existing production and intralogistics environments. Manufacturers can increase automation capacity, optimize material flow, and expand production without investing in additional floor space.

As one of North America’s most prestigious automation awards, the Automate Innovation Award honours technologies that advance industrial automation and help shape the factory of the future.

CeiliX also reached the finals of the Automate Startup Challenge 2026, earning a place among only ten selected startups. Supported by NVIDIA and Microsoft, the competition is widely regarded as one of the industry’s leading showcases for emerging automation companies.

At Automate Show 2026, CeiliX presented its ceiling-mounted transport and robotics platform to an international audience of manufacturers, system integrators, technology partners, and automation experts. The strong response from visitors across North America and other global markets underscores the growing demand for space-efficient automation solutions that increase productivity while integrating seamlessly into existing factories.

The event further strengthened CeiliX’s visibility in the North American market and confirmed the company’s position as an emerging technology leader in industrial automation and intralogistics.

The success in Chicago follows CeiliX’s German Innovation Award 2026 and the Best Product Award at LogiMAT 2026.
