Comau and Invent have presented their latest automation and intralogistics technologies at Brasil em Código 2026, one of Brazil’s leading innovation and technology events focused on digital transformation, automation, and industrial development.

The event marked the first joint market appearance of Comau and Invent following Comau’s acquisition of the intralogistics technology company, reinforcing Comau’s strategy to expand its industrial ecosystem and provide broader automation solutions for modern manufacturing environments.

Held in São Paulo on August 6, 2026, Brasil em Código focused on the theme of “Convergence,” highlighting the growing connection between physical operations and digital technologies. The event provided a platform for Comau and Invent to demonstrate how robotics automation, digital intelligence, and connected logistics systems can work together to create more agile and resilient supply chains.

The companies showcased a combined technology approach that brings together Comau’s expertise in industrial robotics with Invent’s capabilities in smart intralogistics. This integration enables manufacturers to improve production flow, optimize material handling, and achieve higher levels of operational visibility.

By combining advanced robotics with intelligent logistics management, the partnership demonstrates how industrial automation is moving beyond isolated machines toward fully connected production ecosystems. Modern factories increasingly require solutions that link robotic systems, warehouse operations, production data, and enterprise-level management platforms.

Comau’s exhibition highlighted its robotic exoskeleton technology, including the MATE (Muscular Aiding Tech Exoskeleton) family. The wearable robotic solution is designed to support workers by reducing physical strain during repetitive or demanding industrial tasks.

Unlike traditional powered wearable devices, Comau’s exoskeleton technology is lightweight and operates without batteries or motors. The system can reduce physical effort by up to 50% during specific activities, helping improve worker comfort, ergonomics, and productivity throughout long production shifts.

The technology addresses a growing challenge in industrial environments: maintaining workforce efficiency while reducing ergonomic risks. By supporting employees during physically demanding operations, robotic assistance systems can help companies improve workplace conditions while maintaining production continuity.

The development of human-centered automation represents an important trend within Industry 4.0. Rather than replacing workers, advanced technologies such as wearable robotics are designed to enhance human capabilities and create safer, more efficient workplaces.

Alongside Comau’s robotic solutions, Invent presented its smart intralogistics portfolio, including advanced warehouse management systems (WMS), yard management systems (YMS), and mobile robotics technologies for high-density storage and material transportation.

Invent’s solutions are designed to optimize internal logistics operations by improving the movement of materials across production facilities and distribution centers. Through intelligent software and automated handling systems, companies can achieve better inventory control, faster throughput, and improved supply chain performance.

The combination of robotics and intralogistics creates a more connected industrial environment where production equipment and material flow systems operate together. This approach supports manufacturers seeking greater flexibility in response to changing market demands.

Comau’s automation expertise covers a wide range of industrial applications, including robotic assembly, welding, handling, and digital manufacturing solutions. More information about industrial automation technologies can be explored through Comau’s official solutions and related automation platforms designed for advanced production environments.

The collaboration between Comau and Invent reflects a broader transformation within global manufacturing. Companies across automotive, logistics, aerospace, and general industry are investing in smart factory technologies, autonomous systems, and industrial data integration to improve efficiency and competitiveness.

As supply chains become more complex, manufacturers require automation solutions capable of adapting quickly to production changes. Connected robotics and intelligent intralogistics systems provide the foundation for more responsive operations by combining real-time data, automated decision-making, and optimized workflows.

The joint presence of Comau and Invent at Brasil em Código 2026 demonstrates how the future of industrial automation will rely on collaboration between robotics, software, and logistics technologies. By integrating these capabilities, manufacturers can move closer to fully connected and sustainable production ecosystems.
