Automate 2026
Automate is North America's largest event for robotics and automation, where innovation meets real-world application. The show features the leading automation solutions across AI, robotics, motion control, vision systems, and more. Its educational conference brings together top experts to share the latest insights in the field.
As a silver member of the A3 organization, Wibu-Systems USA will participate in the Automate Show and showcase its CodeMeter software licensing and protection technologies in booth 1180 on the exhibition floor. Wibu-Systems’ licensing experts will be demonstrating and answering questions about CodeMeter products that address the automation software licensing and protection challenges for robotics, machine vision, AI/Machine learning, and other software-driven intelligent machine applications.
Featured Speaking Session
Marcellus Buchheit, President and CEO of Wibu-Systems USA, will be presenting at Automate 2026:
“Preparing Industrial Automation Software for the EU Cyber Resilience Act”
Monday, June 22, 2026
10:15 AM – 11:00 AM
In this session, Marcellus will explore the cybersecurity implications of the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) on industrial automation systems. Attendees will gain actionable insights into how the CRA reshapes software accountability and security, with a focus on secure design, vulnerability management, and lifecycle security. Key takeaways include strategies for aligning with global standards, embedding security by design in automation software, and managing third-party components and open-source dependencies. The session will also cover lessons from early adopters and provide a practical framework for building resilient, compliant automation solutions without stifling innovation.
