Intelligent production flow management showcased at APEX EXPO.

By taking part in the international event scheduled from March 17 to 19, 2026, in Anaheim, California, ESSEGI AUTOMATION will highlight a key topic for electronics manufacturing efficiency: intelligent management of component flow across the entire production process, within highly automated environments.

At booth #1445, visitors will find the complete range of automated solutions for material storage and handling, designed to ensure reliability, precision, and operational continuity in manufacturing facilities.


All ESSEGI AUTOMATION intelligent management systems are fully designed and manufactured in Italy.

Over Twenty Years of Experience in SMT and THT Storage

With more than twenty years of experience in developing advanced automated storage management systems for SMT and THT electronics assembly, and over 2,500 installations worldwide, ESSEGI AUTOMATION has built distinctive expertise in one of the most underestimated areas of manufacturing: intelligent material storage and management, from procurement to line feeding, including continuous, automated inventory control.

In many production environments, highly automated and increasingly high-performance SMT lines still coexist with manual or fragmented material management processes, unable to adapt in real time to planning changes. This structural limitation affects a large number of factories and becomes even more evident with the spread of high-mix production models and the growing trend toward reshoring.

As production volumes increase, inefficiencies in material management are amplified, leading to hidden costs, wasted resources, and reduced competitiveness.

Translating Information into Production Flow

In today’s high-variability manufacturing environments, complexity is no longer an exception but a structural condition. As a result, automated storage systems are no longer optional: they represent a strategic lever.

ESSEGI AUTOMATION transforms the warehouse from a simple storage area into a central hub where material flows and strategic information converge to drive production efficiency.

The answer to complexity lies in the ability to enable communication between automation systems and translate data into a continuous, fast, and precise flow of materials.


This principle guides every ISM solution developed by ESSEGI AUTOMATION for the efficient management and handling of components throughout the entire production process.

Open Software, Constraint-Free Integration

At the core of the ESSEGI AUTOMATION ecosystem lies a software designed to connect and orchestrate every element of the production environment: automated storage systems, external warehouse structures, ERP, MES, WMS, and Pick & Place machines.

Built on an open and modular architecture, the software enables real-time data exchange between heterogeneous systems, overcoming the traditional integration barriers typically found in complex manufacturing environments. This approach allows ESSEGI AUTOMATION to adapt seamlessly to different industrial contexts, enhancing existing technological investments while ensuring advanced, future-oriented material management.

Today, ESSEGI AUTOMATION can integrate with more than 250 brands on the market, supporting not only leading international ERP systems but also national management software, customized solutions, and in-house (self-made) platforms developed by manufacturing companies.

In terms of enterprise management systems, integrations include leading platforms such as SAP, Oracle ERP Cloud, Microsoft Dynamics 365, IFS, Sage X3, Epicor, and Infor—without constraints related to vendor, architecture, or system design.

On the Pick & Place side, integration is already fully available with all major global manufacturers, including JUKI, FUJI, YAMAHA, MYCRONIC, PANASONIC, EUROPLACER, ASMPT, ESSEMTEC, HANWHA, UNIVERSAL, and HITACHI.

This approach positions the ESSEGI AUTOMATION ecosystem as a transversal connection and coordination platform between logistics and production, capable of operating natively within heterogeneous factories, regardless of the technologies or suppliers already in place.

APEX EXPO 2026

During the exhibition, ESSEGI AUTOMATION will offer visitors the opportunity to experience its ecosystem live, through real-time demonstrations led by technical specialists and sales experts.

Technologies showcased at the booth include:

  • ISM Ultraflex 3600 F.A. ready, integrated with AMR technology for a fully automated material flow
  • Smart Rack Mobile, enabling flexible and dynamic in-line component management
  • Incoming Material Station 2.0, designed to accelerate and standardize material registration processes
  • A new evolution of the Top Camera table, developed to increase precision and speed in assisted manual operations
  • A new Essegi-branded conveyor

These solutions reflect a consistent philosophy: streamlining material flows to support faster, more flexible, and highly variable production environments.

Measurable Advantages, in Real Time

The live experience at the booth allows visitors to clearly understand the tangible benefits of ESSEGI AUTOMATION solutions:

  • Maximized space utilization: Through trays and dynamic slot management, the software maximizes the use of every inch of warehouse space
  • Immediate responsiveness to production changes: priorities are recalculated in real time, without needing to prepare all materials in advance.
  • Resource efficiency: operators are freed from repetitive, low-value tasks to focus on qualified activities.
  • Complete, real-time traceability: every reel is tracked throughout the process, in compliance with JEDEC/IPC standards.
  • Zero human error: advanced automation and constant data control guarantee absolute precision.
  • Modular and scalable solutions: Essegi Automation offers an ecosystem that grows with the company.
  • Seamless flow integration: smooth connection with ERP, MES, Pick & Place, X-Ray Counters, and vertical storage systems.
  • Component protection: ESD-compliant systems, automated management of humidity and shelf life, ensuring material quality.
