Industrial automation and technology in Brazil

The industrial and automation sectors in Brazil have seen a focus on new technological deployments and industry-wide networking events.

In late September, new automated solutions entered the market, including the AXV 12 iGo, an autonomous high-lift pallet jack from a Kion Group brand designed for wireless operation and lithium-ion ‘opportunity charging’. Additionally, SCHWING Stetter introduced the SLM4000 self-loading concrete mixer at the Paving Expo in São Paulo, a unit intended to consolidate loading, weighing, and mixing to improve construction site efficiency.

By October, the sector's activity shifted toward industry events and professional gatherings. Emaster Elevadores Automotivos completed a series of tours across Brazil, including stops in Curitiba, Paraná, Fortaleza, and São Paulo. Furthermore, the National Automation Meeting (ENA) announced registration for its 2026 edition in Belo Horizonte, an event organized by the Federation of Industries of Minas Gerais (FIEMG) and Gerdau to address industrial automation, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation.
