About the event

Industrial inspection is entering a new era. The ANYbotics Industry Forum brings together maintenance, reliability, safety, technology, and operations leaders who are turning inspection from a manual routine into a continuous source of asset intelligence.

Over two days in Zurich, customers, partners, industry peers, and ANYbotics experts will share real deployment experiences, practical lessons, and perspectives on what autonomous inspection makes possible.

Join us to connect with the companies leading this transformation and help shape the future of industrial inspection.

Why Attend?

Spend two days with reliability, maintenance, and operations leaders working through similar autonomous inspection challenges

Learn from customers across metals, utilities, oil, gas, and chemicals on what they have learned from real deployments

Take a closer look at ANYmal X, built to extend autonomous inspection into explosive atmospheres

Discover what’s new at ANYbotics and how to get more value from the robots already operating at your plants

Theme: Full Fleet Ahead

Autonomous inspection has proven its value: robots are finding issues that manual rounds miss, helping teams work safer, and creating more consistent asset data. The opportunity now is to turn that value into a scalable operational capability.

The future of autonomous inspection is not a single robot proving a point. Full Fleet Ahead is about planning for scale from the start, across sites, teams, and fleets. It is the shift from isolated findings to continuous asset intelligence, from individual deployments to programs that help prevent failures at scale.

At AIF 2026, we will explore this journey together through keynotes, workshops, and peer-to-peer sessions.

What to expect

AIF is designed for teams ready to take the next step in autonomous inspection.

Learn how autonomous inspection helps teams work safer, capture consistent asset data, and improve asset performance

See ANYmal X, the newest evolution of the ANYmal platform, built specifically for Ex-zones

Hear how teams are deploying autonomous inspection across offshore platforms, substations, and production plants

Get practical insights on adoption, workflow integration, and scaling beyond first deployments

Exchange lessons with peers facing similar technical and operational questions

Go behind the scenes with ANYbotics’ vision for inspection intelligence and the autonomous plant

Hear from robotics, industrial technology, and market experts on where autonomous inspection is heading

Connect with reliability, maintenance, operations, and innovation leaders from asset-intensive industries

Take away practical ideas for building the business case and discover what it takes to turn early deployment success into a scalable fleet program

Agenda 2026

I learned a lot about the technology, but more than that, I learned about the practical use cases. ANYbotics was very transparent — not just about what robots can do, but also about the challenges we need to overcome together as an industry.
