Eclipse Automation launched Eclipse RealitySync at Automate 2026. The company said this product offers a new approach to how manufacturers evaluate, de-risk, and scale factory automation.
Factory automation has grown more complex, connected, and harder to assess using traditional methods. Eclipse RealitySync allows manufacturers to step into their future factory before it’s built. The system uses immersive environments powered by Apple Vision Pro technology and guided by Eclipse Automation experts.
With RealitySync, manufacturers can walk production lines, explore workflows in context, and collaborate across teams in a highly connected and interactive way.
“The way manufacturers evaluate automation hasn’t kept pace with the real-world complexity of modern production,” said Steve Mai, the CEO of Eclipse Automation. “Teams are still making major investment decisions using drawings and static layouts. We believe the future of factory automation is more immersive, collaborative, and informed.”
Eclipse Automation is a global provider of precision factory automation solutions with locations in the U.S., Canada, Hungary, and Germany. With more than 25 years of experience, the company designs and delivers engineered systems that help manufacturers accelerate digital transformation. It has worked across sectors such as life sciences, EVs, automotive, battery production, heavy machinery, consumer goods, electronics, and aerospace & defense.
Eclipse brings transparency to early-stage automation
Eclipse RealitySync is an immersive collaboration platform that brings people, project data, and the physical system together in a shared environment. The company designed it around three objectives: helping manufacturers expose value before they buy, reducing project risk earlier in the automation lifecycle, and scaling production with greater flexibility.
By enabling engineering, operations, finance, and leadership teams to collaborate with automation systems before deployment, organizations can align faster, identify issues earlier, and evaluate automation decisions with greater confidence, Eclipse claimed.
The immersive future factory experience is grounded in the real-world industries, products, and manufacturing challenges Eclipse solves every day. From life sciences and transportation to energy, electronics, and consumer and industrial products, Eclipse designs and builds advanced automation systems that enable manufacturers to deliver critical products at scale.
Attendees at Automate 2026 in Chicago can experience Eclipse RealitySync firsthand through live immersive demonstrations at the Eclipse Automation booth 24011.
