The Cabinet-Free Revolution Arrives: Beckhoff Canada Takes MX-System Coast to Coast
March 18, 2026
A cross-Canada roadshow showcasing a smarter, simpler alternative to traditional control cabinets
Beckhoff Canada is proud to announce the MX-System Roadshow 2026, a cross-Canada, in-person event series designed to challenge conventional automation practices and introduce a new era of machine design.
Running throughout May 2026, the roadshow will bring together Canadian OEMs, machine builders, and industrial engineers for an engaging half-day experience focused on the transformative potential of cabinet-free automation.
Rethinking the Control Cabinet
For decades, control cabinets have been a cornerstone of industrial automation. However, they often introduce unnecessary wiring, footprint, cost, and engineering effort. The MX-System Roadshow invites attendees to explore a fundamentally different approach.
Participants will experience firsthand how a cabinet-free architecture can:
- Simplify machine design and electrical layouts
- Reduce build time, wiring effort, and footprint
- Improve scalability and modularity
- Enable faster commissioning and easier service
- Future-proof automation systems
The MX-System reduces components by up to 90% while enabling faster planning, installation, and commissioning—delivering measurable gains across the machine lifecycle.
What to Expect
Each stop on the MX-System Roadshow will feature:
- Expert-led sessions on cabinet-free automation concepts
- Live demonstrations showcasing rapid system configuration and commissioning
- Hands-on interaction with MX-System hardware
- Peer networking opportunities with industry professionals and Beckhoff specialists
Attendees will gain practical insights they can immediately apply to improve machine performance, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
