What is the Manufacturing Technology Series SOUTHWEST?

The Manufacturing Technology Series SOUTHWEST (aka HOUSTEX) connects decision-makers with the technologies and partners that drive modern manufacturing forward. The event combines an active show floor with technical sessions and expert panels, making it an ideal meeting ground for companies of all sizes.

More than 150 exhibitors and around 3000 industry professionals will showcase robotics, automation, CNC systems, digital manufacturing tools, and industrial IoT solutions. The show also features live technology demonstrations and knowledge bars for direct Q&A with experts. Plus, there are sessions where manufacturers can learn how others are adapting to workforce shortages, tighter margins, and customer demand for faster delivery.

You’ll discover real solutions to today’s challenges in automation, workforce, and digital production at one event.

Where to find Standard Bots at the show

You’ll find the Standard Bots team at Booth #938. This will be the place to see our robots in action and learn how collaborative and heavy-duty systems can be applied to packaging, machine tending, palletizing, and more.

Our engineers will be available for live demos and technical discussions on automation integration. For more details, you can also check our official exhibitor page.

Why will Standard Bots be at MTS SOUTHWEST?

Standard Bots is joining MTS SOUTHWEST 2025 to show how automation can solve real production challenges for small and mid-sized manufacturers. Many shops face skilled labor shortages, tight margins, and pressure to deliver faster without adding headcount. 

Standard Bots Core, our flagship six-axis cobot, makes automation practical by combining power, precision, and simplicity in one affordable package. It features an 18 kg payload, 1.3 m reach, and ±0.025 mm repeatability, with built-in 3D vision and no-code programming.

At a list price of $37,000, Core offers industrial-grade performance at nearly half the cost of comparable cobots. It performs CNC tending, packaging, pick and place, and other repetitive precision tasks that keep production consistent and safe. 

At MTS SOUTHWEST, we will:

• Demonstrate live automation workflows, including CNC tending, packaging, and palletizing.
• Meet with manufacturers and integrators exploring practical, scalable automation solutions.
• Discuss ROI, deployment, and support options for manufacturers adding robotics for the first time.

Why does this matter for manufacturers?

According to Forbes, unplanned downtime costs industrial manufacturers more than $50 billion each year. Every minute of lost production directly impacts margins and delivery schedules, especially for small and mid-sized facilities already short on skilled labor. Automation helps offset these losses by keeping machines running consistently and reducing the risk of costly interruptions.

For example, Standard Bots Core helps automate high-frequency tasks such as CNC tending, packaging, and pick and place. It runs safely beside operators, improves accuracy, and minimizes fatigue, all while keeping production steady across shifts.

For attendees, this is a chance to see how automation reduces labor costs, improves safety, and keeps production running at full capacity. You’ll also see how Standard Bots’ U.S.-built robots integrate right into existing setups, helping companies achieve faster ROI compared to traditional systems.
