PLT: poLight ASA to Highlight Tunable Optics Products for Industrial, Machine Vision and Robotics Applications at Automate 2026

TØNSBERG, Norway -- May 21, 2026 -- poLight ASA
(https://www.polight.com/home/default.aspx) (OSE: PLT) will highlight the
company's MLens® and TLens® tunable optics products at the Automate 2026
(https://www.automateshow.com/) show, June 22-25 in Chicago, Illinois.
Featuring solutions for industrial, machine vision, and robotics, poLight
continues to solve OEM design challenges and meet AI-driven imaging
requirements. The poLight team invites you to meet with its experts in booth
10022 North Hall or contact info@polight.com to schedule a meeting.

Yole Group estimates the industrial machine vision market to reach USD $7.8
billion with a CAGR of 2.1 percent by 2029. The analyst firm also projects
that the global humanoid robot market will reach USD $51 billion by 2035, with
a CAGR of 55%. All three applications require advanced, AI-driven imaging
requirements combined with ultrafast, ultralow power consuming, and robust
autofocus lens.

"We continue to see positive momentum in the industrial and machine vision
market, ranging from handheld barcode scanning to automated manufacturing scan
engines," said Dr. Øyvind Isaksen, CEO of poLight ASA. "Robotics is also
presenting some interesting use cases which would benefit from our tunable
optics. Automate 2026 gives us the opportunity to highlight our products as
well as our MLens® ecosystem partners."

Tunable Optics Accommodate Imaging Scenarios
poLight offers a variety of TLens® options, the new OTS portfolio of MLens®
products, and an ecosystem of software and development platform collaborators
to dramatically ease the design challenges facing our customers.
