Robot Technology Japan
Join us at Robot Technology Japan 2026, taking place 11–13 June 2026 at Aichi Sky Expo, Japan.
Robot Technology Japan (RTJ) is one of the leading industrial exhibitions in the Chubu region, a major manufacturing hub. The event focuses on practical applications of industrial robots and automation systems across factories, logistics centers, and research environments, with a strong emphasis on solving real production challenges such as labor shortages, efficiency, and scalability.
At our stand E16, we will demonstrate how 3D manufacturing simulation and offline robot programming help companies move from concept to implementation with confidence. Visitors can explore how production layouts, robot processes, and material flows can be designed, tested, and optimized virtually before any physical investment is made.
Visual Components will present its product portfolio, showing how complete production systems can be modeled using 3D CAD data and how accurate robot programs can be created without interrupting ongoing operations. This approach supports more reliable decision-making and faster deployment of automation solutions.
In line with the event’s focus on implementation, our solutions are designed for both technical specialists and production teams, without requiring extensive programming expertise. They support everything from early-stage planning to detailed system validation and robot programming, helping companies bridge the gap between planning and real-world execution.
With the growing role of robot system integrators (SIers) highlighted at RTJ, the ability to clearly define and communicate system behavior is becoming increasingly important. Visual Components enables collaboration between manufacturers, integrators, and stakeholders by providing a shared, visual environment for system design and validation.
This participation reflects Visual Components’ continued commitment to the Japanese market. With a local presence in Tokyo, the company supports manufacturers, system integrators, and machine builders across industries such as automotive, electronics, and advanced manufacturing.
Visit us at stand E16 to see how Visual Components supports practical automation planning, simulation, and robot programming. We look forward to meeting you in Aichi.
