Traditional robotic deployment methods are hitting a ceiling as manufacturing shifts toward high-mix production. For system integrators, scaling these systems often requires exhaustive custom coding and rigid environments that struggle with variability.

This session presented by Trener examines the transition to AI-native application platforms and how a hardware-agnostic approach can bridge the gap between complex artificial intelligence and industrial reliability. Participants will explore how a standardized integration suite allows for the deployment of adaptive applications, such as machine tending, across mixed fleets including Fanuc, ABB, and Universal Robots. By moving away from vendor-specific silos, integrators can shorten commissioning timelines and reduce the risk of custom code debt.

Jeremy Brouillard
Product Manager, Platform, Trener Robotics
Jeremy Brouillard is a platform product manager at Trener Robotics, where he bridges the gap between complex AI architecture and practical, real-world deployment. He focuses on empowering system integrators by building a seamless platform that combines simulation and predefined skills to scale robotic operations.

Brouillard was drawn to Trener to solve the challenge of reprogramming robots for high-mix manufacturing, recognizing that physical AI is uniquely positioned to lower the barrier to entry for industrial automation.

He brings more than a decade of experience across the robotic lifecycle. He previously served as a robotic software product manager at Formic, focusing on system integration and fleet monitoring, and as a robotic product manager at RoboDK, where he drove user experience for the company's programming software.

Brouillard also serves as a course lecturer in robotics and automation at Montreal’s École de technologie supérieure. He holds both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in robotics and automation from the university.
