Automate 2025
Automate is the largest and most influential showcase of automation in the Americas. The annual event brings together tens of thousands of professionals every year to celebrate everything happening in robotics, industrial automation, and technology.
The Automate Show features more than 800 exhibitors, including more than 140 sessions across 20 topic paths for beginners and advanced professionals alike. Last year, the Automate Show and Conference attracted more than 40,000 registrants from states across the U.S. and countries around the world.
Automate is hosted by The Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the leading global advocate for the benefits of automating. A3 promotes automation technologies and ideas that transform the way business is done. Members of A3 represent over 1,300 manufacturers, component suppliers, system integrators, end users, academic institutions, research groups and consulting firms that drive automation forward worldwide.
As a silver member of the A3 organization, Wibu-Systems USA will participate in the Automate Show and showcase its CodeMeter software licensing and protection technologies in booth 1739 on the exhibition floor. Wibu-Systems’ licensing experts will be hand to demonstrate and answer questions about the CodeMeter products that address the automation software licensing and protection challenges for robotics, machine vision, AI/Machine learning, and other software-driven intelligent machine applications.
CodeMeter Protection Suite
CodeMeter Protection Suite offers an all-round toolkit for the defense of both executables and data involved in AI and ML applications. Due to the availability of open-source frameworks, as well as the popularity of the language, AI applications are often written in Python. AxProtector Python protects both the framework code used for training and the data used in the machine learning lifecycle, from manipulation, theft of intellectual property, and unauthorized use.
CodeMeter License Central
Wibu-System representatives will discuss how the flexible CodeMeter License Central entitlement management solution increases revenue opportunities, enabling new business models by monetizing industrial machinery in new and innovative ways, including new software-driven business models include consumption-based licensing, subscriptions, and features-on-demand.
New CmReady Mass Storage Device System
Also on display will be Wibu-Systems new CmReady, system, which adds CodeMeter capabilities to qualified mass storage devices. Regular mass storage devices like SD or microSD cards are a popular option for many embedded and IoT device makers who cannot include a USB interface or integrate an ASIC in their hardware. Up to now, this architectural constraint limited their choice, but the all new CmReady concept brings the best of both worlds. With CmReady, the binding is created by combining the hardware unique ID (UID) of the card with protected, monotonically increasing counters to prevent replay-attacks against the license container. These units are extremely portable and comfortable to use, with licenses easily added through the familiar CodeMeter license management system and no additional implementation efforts needed to establish the binding.
CodeMeter Use Cases in the Automation Industry
MVTec Software, a leader in machine vision application development software, uses CodeMeter to equip its product portfolio with sophisticated licensing and protection capabilities.
ArtiMinds Robotics, a developer of software used to standardize workflows for industrial automation using advanced robotics, employs CodeMeter to protect their groundbreaking algorithmic technology and safeguard it from reverse engineering and piracy attacks.
Desoutter Industrial Tools, a designer of electric and pneumatic tools, integrates Codemeter protection mechanisms to ensure that customers can invest only in the features they specifically require and provide a high level of flexibility to strengthen the relationship with its customers.
