DETROIT, USA (May 12, 2025) – Arduino, a global leader in open-source hardware and professional embedded solutions, is proud to announce its return to Automate, the largest robotics and automation event in the Americas, taking place May 12–15, 2025, at Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan. Visitors can find Arduino at Booth #6632, right alongside partner Weintek.

“Automate 2025 is the perfect stage to demonstrate how Arduino is redefining industrial innovation – from predictive maintenance with wireless sensors to professional upskilling with real-world automation tools,” says Fabio Violante, CEO of Arduino. “With solutions like the new Arduino Rileva ME and our ACE-120 learning path, we’re enabling both industry leaders and future professionals to accelerate transformation using open, scalable, and cost-effective technology. This is Arduino’s mission in action – bridging education and industry with tools that are as powerful as they are accessible.”

At Automate 2025, Arduino will debut the Arduino Rileva ME – a complete, ready-to-deploy sensing solution that enables industrial teams to monitor key assets and detect anomalies in real time. Combining the powerful Arduino Opta WiFi with Bluetooth® Low Energy smart sensors, it enables smart maintenance strategies for compressors, pumps, motors, and more, using wireless, noninvasive components and seamless integration with Arduino Cloud.

Also premiering at the show is the ACE-120 course, developed in collaboration with Weintek. Part of the Arduino Academy, this new professional learning path is designed to teach the foundations of industrial automation with real-world tools including Arduino Opta and Weintek HMI systems.
