Discover the Future of Robotic Automation at IREX 2025 with Visual Components
We’re excited to announce that Visual Components will be exhibiting at IREX – The International Robot Exhibition 2025, one of the world’s premier robotics events.
Visit us at Stand W3-41, from 3–6 December 2025 at Tokyo Big Sight, Japan, and discover how our simulation and offline programming solutions are shaping the future of robotic automation.
Why IREX Matters (Especially This Year)
IREX brings together leading innovators in robotics, automation, and AI from around the world. It’s a showcase of the latest in robot hardware, automation platforms, and smart factory solutions. For Visual Components, it’s an opportunity not just to present software — but to engage face-to-face with system integrators, robotics specialists, manufacturers, and automation decision-makers in a high-energy, forward-looking environment.
What You’ll See at Our Booth
At IREX, we’ll highlight how Visual Components’ tools bridge the gap between concept and production — letting you validate, optimize, and deploy robotic systems with confidence. On display:
- Offline Programming (OLP) in action — watch live demos of how robot programs are generated, simulated, and validated virtually before hitting the shop floor.
- Multi-brand robot compatibility — see how our OLP supports major industrial robot brands, and how we’re expanding post-processors and controller integrations.
- Model-Based Definition & Automated Workflows — discover how we’re advancing automatic programming using model data, reducing manual effort.
- Use cases & live scenarios — examples of how customers apply our software to boost throughput, reduce errors, and maximize uptime.
- Product roadmap insights — sneak peeks into upcoming features, integrations, and enhancements.
We want visitors to walk away not just impressed — but with a clear idea of how Visual Components can reduce risk, accelerate deployment, and improve ROI on robot projects.
Why Visit Us — What You’ll Gain
Attending IREX is more than demo watching — it’s about strategic insight. At Visual Components booth, you can:
- Ask technical questions and workshop your own scenarios
- Explore proof-of-concept ideas with our product experts
- Compare simulation vs traditional robot programming
- Get clarity on how Visual Components fits into your automation roadmap
