AI-guided smart cartoning & packing lines and the all-new lightweight TM3S cobot make their overseas debut.
BANGKOK, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Techman Robot, a global leader in collaborative robots and AI vision technology, will showcase its latest innovations at the "ME Assembly & Automation 2026". Centered around the dual themes of "Smart Packaging Automation" and "High-Efficiency AI Inspection," the company is introducing tailored solutions for the electronics manufacturing, automotive components, food & beverage, and consumer electronics sectors
AI Vision-Guided Smart Cartoning and Packing Line
To address the critical automation demands within e-commerce and retail product packaging, Techman Robot is highlighting its "Automated Cartoning and Packing Line". This solution overcomes the traditional limitations of mechanical grippers in complex packaging environments by integrating Techman collaborative robot, advanced AI vision guidance systems, and dexterous gripping technologies.
Demonstrating a seamless synergy of "brain, eye, and hand," the system automates cardboard fetching, precise positioning, box folding, cartoning, and transport. Featuring a modular design and rapid deployment capabilities, this solution significantly reduces line footprint, shortens implementation timelines, and enhances packaging efficiency and operational stability—making it ideal for high-mix, low-volume agile production.
The All-New Lightweight TM3S Cobot
Techman Robot is also debuting its latest flagship model, the brand-new "TM3S" collaborative robot. Engineered for on-site operations requiring frequent relocation and high flexibility, the TM3S boasts an ultra-lightweight design, weighing in at just 12 kilograms.
A key feature of the TM3S is its "Quick-release Connector" for cabling, which enables production engineers to install, disassemble, and relocate the unit within an exceptionally short timeframe, vastly improving operational mobility on the shop floor. Furthermore, the TM3S carries forward the signature feature of the Techman Robot family: the "Integrated Vision" system. This provides the robot with advanced spatial awareness and positioning capabilities, making it particularly suited for high-precision welding, assembly, workstation localization, and automated rapid inspection.
AI Flying Trigger Inspection & Instant Palletizer Solutions
Beyond its packaging and lightweight innovations, Techman Robot is demonstrating its "Flying Trigger AI Inspection" and "Instant Palletizer" systems.
- Flying Trigger AI Inspection: Allows robots to perform real-time defect inspection and cosmetic recognition while in motion without pausing, driving significant leaps in both throughput and quality control.
- Instant Palletizer: Offers a streamlined setup and intuitive operation to help Southeast Asian food & beverage and 3C retail clients rapidly upgrade their end-of-line logistics and stacking efficiency, directly addressing regional labor shortages.

Comte Liger-Belair and the Chairman Galvanize Hong Kong
HONG KONG and SINGAPORE, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Acker capped a remarkable spring in Asia with a magnificent HK$47 million (US$6M) sale in Hong Kong on Saturday, June 6, setting 86 New World Records before one of the most packed rooms the firm has seen in years, with seats added just to accommodate the excessive turnout. The atmosphere was electric from the opening lot, with Burgundy and Bordeaux both drawing extremely competitive bidding throughout the session. The sale featured two headline offerings: a direct-from-the-Domaine consignment from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair celebrating two centuries of La Romanée as a single family-owned Monopole, and more than 500 lots from the immaculate private cellar of The Chairman, a sweeping survey of Bordeaux spanning nearly a century. Highlights from 1945, 1961, 1982 and many other great vintages across the great Châteaux confirmed that aged Bordeaux with outstanding provenance has never been more coveted.
The auction was the culmination of a week-long Bicentennial celebration of La Romanée as a single family-owned Monopole. Comte Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, the 7th Comte in the family's storied history, traveled to Hong Kong with his son Vicomte Henry, who is poised to become the 8th, for a series of exclusive events on June 4th and 5th preceding the sale. The festivities included an extraordinary tasting of the La Romanée vertical spanning fifty vintages, drawing top collectors and generating exceptional anticipation heading into auction day.
The Top Ten Lots reflected the dual strength of Burgundy and Bordeaux that defined the day. Taking first place at HK$1,900,000 (US$242,656) was a full barrel of 2023 Vosne-Romanée from Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, a singular opportunity never before offered publicly. Second place went to twelve bottles of 1945 Mouton Rothschild at HK$1,600,000 (US$204,342), with an extraordinary, complete 22-bottle La Romanée vertical (2002-2023) from Comte Liger-Belair claiming third at HK$1,000,000 (US$127,714). A Methuselah of 2001 DRC Montrachet took fourth place at HK$700,000 (US$89,400). A three-way tie for fifth at HK$550,000 (US$70,243) featured twelve bottles of 1945 Latour from The Ancient Noble Latour Collection in OWC, a Jeroboam of 1961 Latour released directly from the Chateau in OWC, and twelve bottles of 1961 Palmer. A comprehensive 2023 horizontal of every wine produced by Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair, including 19 bottles and 2 magnums, finished eighth, capturing HK$425,000 (US$54,278). Eight bottles of 1945 Latour followed in ninth place at HK$375,000 (US$47,893), and a tie for tenth at HK$350,000 (US$44,700) was shared by twelve bottles of 1961 Haut Brion and three bottles of 1999 DRC La Tache.
Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair's 34-lot direct-from-the-Domaine consignment set New World Records on two-thirds of eligible lots, with sixteen overall records across the offering. While the aforementioned La Romanée vertical and 2023 Vosne-Romanée barrel headlined the overall sales, New World Record-Setting highlights also included two rare Jeroboams: the 2016 La Romanée at HK$275,000 (US$35,121) and the 2006 Vosne-Romanée Aux Brulees at HK$130,000 (US$16,603). In addition, six bottles of 2016 Echezeaux achieved HK$150,000 (US$19,157), three bottles of 2010 Echezeaux went for HK$100,000 (US$12,771), three bottles of 2023 Grands Echezeaux commanded HK$90,000 (US$11,494), and six bottles of 2016 La Colombiere brought in HK$85,000 (US$10,856). Record-setting magnums of Aux Brulees (2016 and 2019) and Les Petits Monts (2009) each garnered HK$70,000 (US$8,940), while magnums of 2023 from Aux Malconsorts (HK$65,000 (US$8,301)) and (2023 Aux Reas HK$60,000 (US$7,663)) also achieved new heights. The aforementioned complete 2023 horizontal, showcasing the Domaine's full range of appellations, rounded out the highlights at HK$425,000 (US$54,278).
"This has been one of the most amazing months of fine and rare wine auctions I have seen in over thirty years of doing this! To have four auctions in four of the world's greatest cities in less than a month was an extraordinary effort, but the extraordinary results have made every bit of it worthwhile," gushed Acker Chairman John Kapon. "Welcoming Comte Louis-Michel Liger-Belair and his son Henry to Hong Kong to celebrate 200 years of La Romanée as a single-owned, family Monopole was something very special, especially given Acker's own 200+ year history. There aren't too many that can fit in that peer group! And The Chairman's immaculate collection proved once again that aged Bordeaux with outstanding provenance has never been more coveted. We have now done a significant $26 million in auction sales over the past month, and the first half isn't even over yet—our June 26th U.S. auction featuring spectacular collections from two distinguished European restaurants is going to be another can't-miss affair, which you'll be hearing more about very soon!"
Acker's 2026 auction season continues with a U.S. auction on June 26th, where two exceptional restaurant collections will take center stage. Consignments are now being accepted for Fall auctions, while weekly web auction deadlines remain every Friday.
