Flexxbotics, delivering digital solutions for robot-driven manufacturing at scale, has announced that CEO and Co-Founder, Tyler Bouchard, presented at the Innovation Expo 2025 co-hosted by the Ford Motor Company and Industry 4.0 Accelerator. The full day conference was held on November 5, 2025 at Ford Motor Company’s global headquarters.

The Innovation Expo convened Ford’s manufacturing and IT teams to hear about leading solutions tailored to their specific initiative areas. For this year’s conference 15 selected technology partners were invited to showcase breakthroughs in Robotics, Digitalization, Vision Systems, Industrial Mobile Robots, and other advanced manufacturing solutions.

The conference enabled in-depth discussions about incorporating manufacturing technologies into Ford’s factories to improve efficiency, quality, and sustainability. Sessions provided Ford representatives with a unique opportunity for curated collaboration in order to explore innovations specifically matched to their operational needs.

During his presentation, Tyler Bouchard shared how Flexxbotics’ platform provides universal interoperability and orchestration of robots with factory machines and inspection systems while working with existing enterprise IT systems. Bouchard focused on how manufacturers are harnessing Flexxbotics software-defined automation to enable autonomous process control for scaling deployments of production robotics.

“We believe the future requires ever greater levels of manufacturing autonomy, and that factories must be able to add these technologies to existing infrastructure without interoperability barriers or wholesale equipment replacement,” said Tyler Bouchard, CEO & Co-Founder of Flexxbotics. “We’re honored to present at this high-impact event, and to provide inputs that can help Ford shape their smart factory roadmap for the years ahead.”

Flexxbotics’ participation reflects its expanding role in the reindustrialization movement and the necessity for software-driven autonomy in the Industrial AI era.
