OnRobot to Showcase Effortless Automation Deployment Through D:PLOY Platform at Automate 2025

OnRobot, one of the world’s leading providers of hardware and software solutions for collaborative applications, will showcase its groundbreaking D:PLOY platform and latest gripper innovations at Automate 2025 in Detroit, May 12-15 at booth #3618.

In collaboration with integration partner EMI, OnRobot will offer attendees hands-on experience demonstrating how D:PLOY is fundamentally changing the landscape of robotic automation by fully automating the deployment of robotic applications. This will be showcased through a the live demo of a D:PLOY packaging application featuring OnRobot’s VGC10 gripper, set up rapidly in just hours with no programming. It’s collaborative automation, ready to run the same day.

D:PLOY is the first automatic development platform for cobots and industrial robots that enables the configuration of complete, Off-The-Shelf robotic systems for high-mix manufacturing applications. With full price transparency and same-day installation, D:PLOY gives manufacturers the freedom to adapt in real time, without relying on external experts or programming – and with typical ROI in less than a year.

“Automate is where manufacturers go to see what’s next,” says James Taylor, CCO at OnRobot. “And with D:PLOY and our Off-The-Shelf Solutions, what’s next is already here. We’re making automation a low-risk, high-reward investment – empowering businesses to deploy and redeploy on their own terms.”

Plug & Produce – across all major robot brands

Visitors will also experience the benefits of OnRobot’s One System Solution: seamless integration of the company’s end-of-arm-tooling across all major robot brands, and true plug-and-produce functionality. Tool changes happen in seconds – no rewiring or reprogramming – showing how easily manufacturers can scale across new applications.

A diverse range of OnRobot’s flexible grippers will be on display, including the new 2FG14, 3FG25, and VGP30. These tools are designed to easily automate diverse tasks, support quick workpiece changeovers, and empower operators to take control. Notably, the VGP30 high-payload pneumatic vacuum gripper is a powerful and robust solution for palletizing boxes, capable of handling cost-saving, thinner cardboard and irregular shapes and porous surfaces. It is ready for immediate deployment out of the box and features intelligent vacuum control that automatically adjusts to any box or interlayer, minimizing air usage and energy costs – ideal for high-mix palletizing applications.

Additional OnRobot grippers, including the 2FG7, 3FG15, and Soft Gripper, will be showcased by EMI. “We look forward to showing manufacturers firsthand how our D:PLOY platform enables rapid, in-house deployment of robotic applications, leveraging our newest grippers for tangible productivity gains, all with complete cost transparency,” says OnRobot’s CCO.
