Global analog semiconductor company Analog Devices (ADI) has unveiled a large number of key technologies and solutions targeting the industrial automation and robotics markets.

ADI held a press conference at the Oakwood Hotel in Samseong-dong, Seoul on March 5 and introduced the background of its participation in the Smart Factory & Automation Industry Exhibition (AW2026), held at COEX from March 4 to 6, and its key exhibited technologies.

At this exhibition, ADI showcased a total of eight demos centered on sensors, connectivity, and power management solutions for implementing industrial automation and robotics applications.

The company emphasized, “With the proliferation of AI and automation technologies, the importance of real-time data processing, stable connectivity, and high-efficiency power management is growing in industrial settings,” adding, “ADI is supporting the digital transformation across industries with analog technologies optimized for these demands.”

What particularly caught attention was industrial connectivity technology.


ADI has unveiled an ultra-short range wireless data link solution utilizing 60 GHz millimeter wave (mmWave).

This technology enables high-speed data transmission of up to 1 Gbps over a distance of 1 to 5 cm and allows for real-time communication without cables.

It is evaluated as having high utility in the robotics field because it can solve cable breakage or twisting problems in robot arms or rotating joints.


Another key technology is GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link), which is widely used in automotive and industrial vision systems.

ADI demonstrated the process of high-resolution camera images being processed with ultra-low latency through an AI vision demo linked with the NVIDIA Jetson platform.

GMSL is attracting attention as a core connectivity technology in autonomous driving, robot vision, and smart factory inspection systems due to its high data throughput and low latency characteristics.


A 10BASE-T1L Ethernet solution for long-distance industrial communication was also introduced.

It is possible to communicate for over 1km using a single twisted pair cable and can supply data and power simultaneously, making it suitable for factory and building automation environments. Strong electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is also considered a strength for industrial applications.

In the sensor sector, Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM) solutions that detect equipment status in real time have garnered attention.

We exhibited the wireless-based 'Voyager 4' and the wired-based 10BASE-T1L solution together to enable response to various industrial environments.

Pressure sensors, energy meters, and power quality measurement solutions were also introduced as technologies applicable to semiconductor processes, factory equipment, and energy management systems.

High-efficiency power management solutions targeting the AI era were also highlighted.

ADI exhibited high-current, high-efficiency multi-phase power controllers required for AI servers and data centers, showcasing its technological capabilities that achieve over 90% power efficiency.

This is considered a key factor in solving the problem of rapidly increasing power consumption due to the growth of AI computation.

ADI currently has a portfolio of over 75,000 analog semiconductor products and continues to achieve stable revenue growth in the industrial automation and automotive sectors.


Executive Director Cha Seong-geun, who was in charge of the presentation, stated, “Industrial automation and robotics will be at the center of future AI-based manufacturing innovation,” adding, “ADI will actively support customers in realizing smart manufacturing with integrated solutions that combine sensing, connectivity, and power technologies.”
