CLEVELAND, Ohio, US — Fireball Industries today announced its participation in Automate 2026, taking place June 22–25 in Chicago, where the company will highlight its latest automation, connectivity, and AI-driven manufacturing solutions, including emberNET, its industrial connectivity platform built to unify plant operations and eliminate data silos.

At Automate 2026, Fireball Industries will demonstrate how manufacturers can modernize operations without replacing existing infrastructure. Designed for OEMs and industrial operators, emberNET helps connect equipment, lines, sites, and software into a more scalable, interoperable ecosystem. The platform enables capabilities such as remote PLC access, HMI and dashboard visibility, and integration across ERP, MES, and maintenance systems, giving manufacturers the real-time insight they need to make better decisions and prepare for what’s next.

“Most plants don’t have a technology problem, they struggle because their systems can’t grow together,” said Eric Seme, CEO of Fireball Industries. “At Automate 2026, we’re excited to show how emberNET and our broader automation services help customers connect operations, improve visibility, and build a stronger foundation for future-ready manufacturing.”

Fireball Industries serves manufacturers seeking to accelerate digital transformation through a combination of advanced PLC programming, AI-driven machine vision, robotics integration, Industrial IoT, OT cybersecurity, and cloud-connected industrial systems. The company’s capabilities span:

Industry 4.0 solutions and digital commissioning
Vision inspection and quality systems
