Magswitch Heads to the 2026 Nissan Manufacturing Innovation Summit

Magswitch Technologies is heading to Smyrna, Tennessee, for the 2026 Nissan Manufacturing Innovation Summit (NMIS), taking place September 30–October 1, 2026, at Nissan TCAT.

Hosted by Nissan and SME Chapter 43 Nashville, the ninth annual summit brings together manufacturers, suppliers, innovators, and industry leaders to explore the technologies shaping the future of manufacturing. This year's event will feature approximately 50 technology suppliers, live manufacturing technology demonstrations, thought-leader breakout sessions, a keynote presentation, and opportunities to connect with manufacturing professionals from across the region.

See Magswitch Technology in Action

As manufacturers continue to look for ways to make automation more flexible, efficient, and easier to deploy, magnetic technology is opening new possibilities for robotic material handling and manufacturing applications.

The Magswitch team will be at NMIS showcasing our latest magnetic solutions for industrial automation and manufacturing.

Attendees can stop by and talk with our team about applications including:

  • Robotic material handling and part picking
  • Bin picking and machine tending
  • Part de-stacking and separation
  • Flexible end-of-arm tooling
  • Magnetic gripping for ferrous components
  • Flexible cobot and robot deployment
  • Solutions for automotive and advanced manufacturing applications

Magswitch switchable permanent magnet technology provides powerful holding force without requiring continuous electrical power to maintain the magnetic hold. Our growing range of electrically actuated magnetic tooling also gives automation engineers greater control and flexibility when integrating magnetic gripping into robotic applications.

Whether you're working on a new automation project or looking for a better way to handle steel components within an existing process, our team can help evaluate the application and identify the right magnetic solution.

A Summit Focused on Manufacturing Innovation

NMIS provides attendees with an opportunity to see emerging manufacturing technologies in one location while learning directly from companies working in robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, machine vision, connected manufacturing, and other advanced technologies.

The 2026 agenda includes sessions covering topics such as AI-powered bin picking, real-time 3D vision, robotic automation, predictive maintenance, connected manufacturing, vision inspection, and Industry 5.0.

For Magswitch, it's also an opportunity to connect directly with manufacturers and automation professionals and discuss the challenges they are facing on the plant floor.
