RoboJob is nominated for the VLAIO award

RoboJob has been nominated for the VLAIO Awards 2026 in the Economic Success category. The nomination is a significant recognition of the company’s innovative strength and confirms RoboJob’s role as a pioneer in CNC Automation.

Central to the nomination is the Pallet-Load Integrated, a groundbreaking automation solution that uses vision technology and artificial intelligence to automatically recognise and correctly position workpieces. With this, RoboJob has become the first in the sector to develop a working AI application for CNC automation — a technological breakthrough that was unheard of in this industry until recently.

Since its foundation in 2007, RoboJob has been developing accessible and user-friendly solutions for the automation of CNC-controlled lathes and milling machines. With the Pallet-Load Integrated, the company is once again taking a significant step forward. Thanks to the combination of a compact camera setup, advanced image processing and AI, complex set-up work or expensive mechanical alignment is no longer required. This makes automation more flexible, efficient and accessible for manufacturing companies.

The technology offers customers clear added value. By automatically recognising workpieces and positioning them correctly, it increases the efficiency of the production process and enables CNC machines to be utilised more productively. At the same time, the solution lowers the barrier to introducing automation in environments where flexibility and ease of use are crucial.

Moreover, the nomination for the VLAIO Award is not an isolated achievement. RoboJob had previously been nominated for awards at the TechniShow in the Netherlands and at Global Industrie in France. The fact that VLAIO is now also recognising this innovation in its own country underlines RoboJob’s impact on the future of the manufacturing industry.

“This nomination is a wonderful recognition of the work carried out by the R&D team, which, with the Pallet-Load Integrated, has once again demonstrated the extent to which RoboJob is committed to technological innovation. RoboJob has succeeded in being the first in this sector to develop a working AI application that is already creating real added value for customers today. This recognition from VLAIO therefore means a great deal to the entire company.” - Jelle De Roovere, CEO of RoboJob

With this nomination, RoboJob once again confirms its position as an innovative market leader that is helping to shape the future of CNC automation.
