DesignTech Systems will participate in Automation Expo 2026, to be held from 22–25 July 2026 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC), Mumbai. At Hall 3, Booth E-13, the company will showcase its AI-powered Factory Automation and Stratasys Additive Manufacturing solutions for manufacturers, plant heads, automation engineers, production managers, system integrators, and other industry professionals looking to improve productivity, quality, and operational efficiency.
As manufacturers work to improve production, they are looking for practical ways to increase quality, reduce delays, and make better use of their resources. To support these needs, DesignTech brings together AI, robotics, digital engineering, additive manufacturing, and Factory Automation to help businesses improve their day-to-day manufacturing operations.
Supporting these manufacturing requirements, one of the key highlights at the booth will be VisionX, a complete 360-degree AI-powered vision inspection system. Unlike conventional systems that compare products with a predefined golden image, VisionX inspects every product individually. It detects surface, dimensional, and tolerance defects at the micron level. The system also learns from new defect patterns during production, helping improve inspection accuracy over time. It also supports zone-wise inspection, allowing different tolerance limits to be set for different areas of the same component.
At the expo, DesignTech will be displaying a set-up of Dark Factory, taking manufacturing plants closer to Digital Factories. Through this display DesignTech will showcase how companies can automate all the physical processes and workflows through cutting edge automation. This level of automation requires minimum human intervention, and smart cyber-physical systems cohesively share data and work with each other to execute all the operations flawlessly. At their booth they will give a physical demonstration of how companies can implement it and visitors can witness the power of smart manufacturing.
Along with quality inspection, manufacturers also require efficient material handling and inventory management. To address these needs, DesignTech Systems will also demonstrate customised robotic arm solutions for pick-and-place, material handling, and assembly line applications. These systems help improve speed, consistency, accuracy, and workplace safety by automating repetitive tasks. The company will also showcase SmartRACK, a smart warehouse management system, which tracks inventory in real time and automatically updates stock levels through ERP integration, helping businesses manage inventory more efficiently.
Complementing these automation solutions, the portfolio also includes Stratasys Additive Manufacturing solutions for producing functional parts, jigs, tools, and fixtures. These solutions are suitable for complex geometries, customised components, and low-volume production. They help manufacturers reduce development time, produce tools faster, and improve flexibility during product development and manufacturing.
Together, these solutions help manufacturers build smarter and more connected factories. By connecting machines, production equipment, and IT systems through digital technologies and IoT, businesses can improve traceability, reduce production bottlenecks, make faster decisions, and improve overall manufacturing performance. The Dark Factory setup brings these technologies together to demonstrate how a connected manufacturing system can operate with very little human intervention.
To help manufacturers implement these technologies successfully, DesignTech supports customers across the complete product lifecycle. Its expertise covers product design, engineering, simulation, validation, manufacturing, and Factory Automation. The company also provides engineering consultancy services from concept design, 3D modelling, simulation and analysis to design-for-manufacturing. Through their Factory Automation division, they deliver projects ranging from individual robotic workstations and pick-and-place applications to complete assembly line automation, enterprise-wide connectivity, and fully autonomous Dark Factory projects.
Founded in 1998, DesignTech Systems has nearly three decades of experience in engineering and manufacturing. The company serves customers across the automotive, aerospace and defence, industrial machinery, heavy engineering, power and energy, and consumer goods sectors. It also works with global technology partners, including Detroit Engineered Products (DEP), Cadence, Stratasys, to deliver engineering, simulation, and additive manufacturing solutions, to customers in India.
Speaking on the company vision for the event, Prashant Deshpande, Vice President – Strategy, DesignTech Systems, said, “Our key objective is to connect with the industry, understand their vision and growth objectives, and identify opportunities for collaboration. Through our industry-leading engineering and Factory Automation solutions, we aim to help manufacturers achieve their business and manufacturing goals.”
Visitors to the DesignTech booth will be able to experience these capabilities firsthand. At the booth, visitors will experience a live demonstration of the Dark Factory setup, showing how connected automation systems can manage production with very little human intervention. The team will also demonstrate the VisionX vision inspection system, customised robotic automation solutions, SmartRACK smart warehouse management system, and Stratasys Additive Manufacturing technologies. Visitors can also interact with DesignTech’s engineering team to understand how these solutions can be applied to client’s manufacturing requirements.
DesignTech Systems looks forward to meeting industry professionals, understanding their manufacturing challenges, and discussing how its engineering and Factory Automation solutions can help improve quality, productivity, and operational efficiency of the companies, taking them closer to achieving their vision.
