INTERX presented an autonomous manufacturing technology based on artificial intelligence at the SIMTOS 2026 trade show. The company paired the announcement with a live demonstration that illustrated its vision of a new generation of machine tools.

The manufacturer places the launch within the broader evolution of industrial equipment. After manual operation, automation and computerisation, INTERX considers that machine tools are entering a new stage: autonomous manufacturing, in which artificial intelligence takes part in how the equipment operates.

At SIMTOS 2026, INTERX introduced a technology called the Fully Autonomous Machine. The presentation included a live demonstration of the technology.

INTERX describes this development as the fourth generation of machine tools, following the stages of manual control, automation and computerisation. With it, the company aims to expand the role of intelligent systems in manufacturing operations.

How AI is expanding its role in industrial operations

The development is part of a wider transformation of production sites, where artificial intelligence is moving beyond executing predefined instructions to help make data-driven decisions.

The industrial applications mentioned include production planning, quality management, logistics operations and equipment maintenance.

INTERX’s demonstration at SIMTOS 2026 illustrates this shift towards equipment that can integrate more artificial intelligence into manufacturing processes.
