We’re excited to share highlights from The ASSEMBLY Show 2025 in Rosemont, Illinois, where Launchpad showcased what we’re all about: manufacturing innovation, collaboration and forward-thinking design.
From the moment we arrived, the show floor was alive with energy. Everywhere you looked, new technologies were redefining what’s possible, from advanced automation and robotics to data-driven quality systems. It was a vivid picture of where manufacturing is heading, and Launchpad was right at the center of it.
Our booth quickly became a space for genuine conversation. Engineers, operators, and manufacturers shared their challenges, including labor shortages, cost pressures and the complexity of making automation practical. Those discussions reinforced Launchpad’s mission to help manufacturers manage the optimal integration of humans and robots through AI-first technology and advanced robotics. By halving the time and cost of delivering automation, we are enabling firms to stay competitive while revitalizing local economies.
A clear theme across the show was the growing demand for automation that empowers people. Teams are looking for systems that improve precision, repeatability and safety while freeing their workforce to focus on higher-level problem solving. That mindset perfectly aligns with our vision of reimagining manufacturing and strengthening the communities that power it.
Launchpad was founded in 2020 with that vision in mind, and our recent Series A funding positions us to accelerate development and meet growing demand across the US, UK, and Europe. With support from world-class investors, we are expanding our teams in El Segundo and Edinburgh and continuing to advance AI-driven solutions that make automation faster, smarter, and more sustainable.
We left Rosemont inspired and energized, ready to build on new partnerships and continue proving that when human creativity and intelligent robotics come together, manufacturing becomes not only more efficient but more human.
