Atlas Copco Tools and Assembly Systems hosted Innovation Days 2026 at its state-of-the-art Innovation Centre in Bavdhan, Pune, bringing together leading OEMs, Tier suppliers, manufacturing experts and industry partners to explore the future of smart manufacturing. The three-day event witnessed strong participation from the automotive and manufacturing sectors and highlighted the growing adoption of connected, intelligent and adaptive production systems across industries.
Driving Manufacturing Innovation with Localised Solutions
Held under the theme “Global Innovation, Mastered Locally,” the event focused on how globally proven manufacturing technologies can be customised into scalable and practical solutions for Indian industries. As manufacturers increasingly prioritise automation, digitalisation and operational efficiency, Innovation Days 2026 demonstrated how advanced technologies can simplify complex manufacturing challenges related to precision, traceability and seamless production workflows. Moreover, the Innovation Centre was designed to replicate a real factory environment, enabling customers to experience, evaluate and understand technologies before deploying them on their own shopfloors.
Live Demonstrations of Connected Manufacturing Systems
A major highlight of the event was the live demonstration of integrated manufacturing solutions designed to improve productivity, quality and process efficiency. The showcased ecosystem included advanced tightening solutions, battery torquing tools, virtual controller systems, vision-enabled dispensing technologies, 2D and 3D vision systems, glass glazing, ISRA glass decking, BIW E-Swirl applications, and digital platforms such as ToolsNet 8 and ENSO controllers. In addition, the event placed strong emphasis on automation and screw-feeding solutions that help manufacturers enhance line productivity and operational consistency. Through real-time demonstrations, visitors gained practical insights into how connected technologies can streamline operations, improve decision-making and support future-ready manufacturing environments.
Industry Leaders Highlight the Shift Towards Intelligent Manufacturing
Chandrashekhar Pathak, General Manager – Industrial Technique, Atlas Copco (India) Pvt Ltd., said, “Manufacturing today is undergoing a fundamental shift towards more connected, intelligent and flexible ecosystems. Innovation Days 2026 are designed to bring this evolution to life through a real-world simulation of how technologies come together on the shopfloor.”
He further added, “This platform enables customers to not just explore innovation, but experience how these solutions can be practically implemented to enhance precision, productivity and decision-making in their everyday manufacturing operations.” Referring to the success of the previous edition, Pathak said the overwhelming customer response to the 2025 event inspired the company to organise the second edition in 2026, with plans to make Innovation Days an annual industry platform.
Supporting the Future of Data-Driven Manufacturing
Innovation Days 2026 reinforced the industry-wide transition towards integrated and data-driven manufacturing ecosystems. As reported by nbmcw.com, by showcasing scalable and connected production technologies, the platform highlighted how manufacturers can accelerate the adoption of efficient, agile and future-ready production systems.
