Flexxbotics, the autonomous manufacturing platform leader, announced that CEO and Co-Founder, Tyler Bouchard, will present at Innovation Day 2026 co-hosted by General Motors and Industry 4.0 Accelerator. The full-day event will be held on February 18, 2026 at the Cole Engineering Building within General Motors’ Global Tech Center campus in Warren, Michigan.
Innovation Day brings together General Motors’ manufacturing, engineering, and IT teams alongside a select group of advanced technology providers to showcase innovations aligned with GM’s Software-Defined Factory (SDF) strategic initiatives. Participating organizations will present AI-first smart factory solutions spanning Industrial AI, software-defined automation, digital twins, advanced robotics, physical AI, and next-generation factory interoperability.
The event enables focused collaboration between key GM personnel and invited partners to explore how emerging technologies can be integrated into existing and future production environments. Sessions provide GM stakeholders with an opportunity to evaluate solutions that enhance production efficiency, enable closed-loop process control, and accelerate the deployment of autonomous manufacturing capabilities.
During his presentation, Tyler Bouchard will demonstrate how Flexxbotics’ platform delivers universal interoperability between factory machines, automation & robotics, vision systems, and inspection & test equipment while integrating seamlessly with manufacturing IT systems. He will highlight how Flexxbotics enables software-defined automation to support autonomous process control, adaptive robotic production, and scalable deployment of Industrial AI across GM’s production operations.
“We believe that achieving manufacturing autonomy requires interoperable orchestration across production lines, factory equipment, and enterprise systems without introducing integration complexity or operational disruption,” said Tyler Bouchard, CEO & Co-Founder of Flexxbotics. “We’re honored to participate in this important event and to collaborate with General Motors and Industry 4.0 Accelerator to help advance GM’s vision for autonomous manufacturing in the interoperable, software-defined factory of the future.”
