Experience the Future of Metalworking Technology
EGS Automation to Showcase New Automation Solution at AMB 2026 in Stuttgart
From September 15 to 19, 2026, AMB will open its doors to the international visitors of the metalworking industry. As a marketplace and networking platform, the event covers the entire value chain of metalworking processes, from manufacturing systems, tools, metrology, and software to automation and handling solutions.
With three decades of expertise in industrial robotics, EGS Automation will also be exhibiting at the show, presenting a new automation solution for flexible workpiece processing.
SUMO Quatroplex Flex AI: Simplifying Automation for Changing Workpieces
As product lifecycles become increasingly shorter and product variants continue to grow,
programming and setup times are taking up an ever-larger share of manufacturing operations.
This is exactly where SUMO Quatroplex Flex AI comes in.
Developed specifically for high-mix, low-volume applications, the intelligent automation cell enables cost-effective automation even when products and production orders change frequently.
Using Intrinsic Intelligence, the system creates a digital twin based on CAD data. From this digital model, the required robot movements and process sequences are generated automatically.
The result is significantly reduced programming effort, shorter setup times, and a faster production start. The EGS Smart Pad, serving as the central interface between operator and automation system, provides access to all functions through an intuitive touchscreen interface. No matter what the future brings, with SUMO Quatroplex Flex AI the process is simple: Teach. Load. Produce.
Experience the robotic cell live at AMB 2026 and see how maximum flexibility and outstanding cost-efficiency can go hand in hand. The experts from EGS Automation look forward to personally discuss and create the future of intelligent manufacturing.

EGS Automation SUMO Tray Stacker Portfolio
Maximum Flexibility, Clear Structure, and Future-Proof
Performance
EGS Automation GmbH has completely redesigned its SUMO tray stacker portfolio and introduces
the new SUMO Ecoplex2 and SUMO Ecoplex3 models – a streamlined, highly scalable platform built
to handle virtually any automated tray-stacking requirement. The new structure reduces complexity,
enhances flexibility, accelerates delivery times, and provides a clearer and more intuitive product
offering.
By consolidating decades of automation expertise into a simplified platform, EGS delivers a portfolio
that covers every major tray-handling need, from changing formats to varying stack heights and
diverse robot configurations.
Lean Portfolio, Broad Application Range
The former Ecoplex2 and Megaplex solutions have evolved into a modular two-model platform:
SUMO Ecoplex2 with two loading bays and SUMO Ecoplex3 with three. Both versions support EGS
loading trolleys as well as customer-specific floor rollers and accommodate a wide range of tray
formats, including 600×400 mm, 800×600 mm, and smaller sizes. The Ecoplex2 remains available
with various infeed/outfeed conveyor configurations and with AGV stack transfer options.
Higher Efficiency, Superior Flexibility, Intuitive Operation
Standardizing the platform significantly shortens planning and integration phases, enabling rapid
deployment into diverse production settings - from injection molding and CNC machining to
packaging and measuring applications. Despite its compact footprint, the SUMO Ecoplex2 offers
large, expandable storage capacity to ensure long autonomous run times.
A major highlight is the rollout of the EGS SmartPad across all new SUMO tray stacker models. The
intuitive interface enables parameter setup, recipe management, and real-time production data
visualization - without requiring any robot programming expertise.
Modular, Compatible, Energy-Efficient – Built for the Future
The redesigned SUMO systems feature a modular architecture, allowing the seamless integration of
additional functions. By supporting electric rather than pneumatic axes, the systems reduce energy
consumption and minimize maintenance requirements. Compatibility with existing internal logistics
ensures that customer-owned trolleys and floor rollers can be reused without modification.
With the new SUMO Ecoplex2 and SUMO Ecoplex3 platform, EGS Automation sets a strong
benchmark for efficient, flexible, and future-ready tray stacking automation.

EGS Automation and Dunkermotoren to Exhibit Together at all about automation in Chemnitz
EGS Automation and Dunkermotoren, both part of AMETEK, will once again be exhibiting
together at all about automation trade fair—this time at the industrial hub of Chemnitz. On
September 30 and October 1, suppliers and users will gather in Chemnitz to exchange ideas on
the latest developments, trends, and technologies in the automation industry. Months ahead of
the event, the exhibition is already fully booked - a clear sign of the format’s strong relevance in
the region.
EGS Automation and Dunkermotoren will showcase their innovations in Hall 1, Booth 214.
Focus on Innovative Automation Solutions
Following a successful debut at automatica in Munich, EGS will now present its SUMO
Fotoplex at all about automation in Chemnitz.
SUMO Fotoplex: Compact Palletizing System with Maximum Flexibility
A special highlight at the EGS Automation booth is the SUMO Fotoplex – an innovative bin picking system with integrated palletizing that impresses with its compact design and high
flexibility. Designed for the automated handling of unsorted workpieces, the system combines a
powerful industrial robot with a fixed vision system. This combination enables precise detection,
picking, and placement of a wide variety of parts—directly from bulk material.
Thanks to workpiece-specific gripping technology, the SUMO Fotoplex ensures reliable and
gentle handling of various geometries. Operation is handled via the user-friendly EGS Smart
Pad, which allows for intuitive setup and control without any programming knowledge. All
relevant system data and recipes are available at a glance - for maximum transparency and
efficiency in operation.
With its versatility and ease of integration, the SUMO Fotoplex is ideal for companies looking to
flexibly automate their production processes—even with frequently changing workpieces.
Why You Should Visit EGS Automation at all about automation in Chemnitz
Rethinking Automation: Simple. Efficient. Future-Proof.
Discover how effortless modern automation can be. With innovative solutions that make your
production smarter, more flexible, and more sustainable, getting started with automation has
