Factory automation is entering a new phase, where connecting machines, systems and data matters just as much as automating them.
For manufacturers, the challenge now is managing increasingly complex, energy-intensive operations as a whole. In the Philippines, this shift is putting greater focus on solutions that bring automation, facility management and energy monitoring closer together.
Against this backdrop, The Philippines Manufacturing & Automation Expo 2026 (PMAX), held from 23–25 September, brought together industry players to explore how automation and connected technologies can help manufacturers improve productivity, manage energy use and build smarter, more sustainable factories.
“Manufacturing today is not just about automating individual processes. It is also about having better visibility across the factory and using that information to improve how equipment and resources are managed,” said Rey Espanta, Country Manager, Delta Electronics Philippines. “By connecting automation with monitoring and facility management, manufacturers can make more informed decisions and build more efficient operations.”
At PMAX 2026, Delta showcased its industrial automation portfolio for electronics manufacturing, spanning programmable logic controllers (PLC), servo motors and drives, human-machine interfaces (HMI), robots, vision systems, industrial Ethernet and cloud routers. The portfolio covers key layers of the manufacturing environment, from machine control and motion to connectivity and data, providing manufacturers with the technologies needed to build more connected production operations.
Beyond individual machines, Delta demonstrated how these technologies can be applied across different production processes. Industrial robots, HMIs, servo motors and drives can help automate applications such as soldering, dispensing, painting and inspection, reducing reliance on manual processes while supporting more consistent operations. Delta also highlighted variable frequency drive (VFD) solutions for applications such as HVAC, where precise motor control can help improve energy efficiency. Complementing these solutions, Delta’s Facility Management Control System (FMCS) demonstration brought together VTScada, PLCs, power meters, power supplies and VFDs to show how production and facility systems can be integrated for more connected monitoring and control.
The showcase reflects a broader shift in manufacturing, from automating individual processes to connecting the factory as a whole.
Through its participation at PMAX 2026, Delta Philippines demonstrated how its automation portfolio can address the changing needs of modern manufacturing, from production and machine control to facility management and energy efficiency. The focus is on helping manufacturers connect these different areas to gain greater visibility, improve efficiency and make more informed operational decisions.
