Techman Robot's Camera-Equipped Cobots Clear Independent Cybersecurity Audit
Published on 10/07/2026 at 10:01 | Editorial boerse-global.de
Industrial robot maker Techman Robot has secured a cybersecurity certification for its TM AI Cobot S series, with testing firm DEKRA confirming the range meets the requirements of IEC 62443-4-2 at Security Level 2 (SL2). The company announced the result in statements released in early October 2026.
The designation covers a family of collaborative robots that pair built-in cameras with image-recognition algorithms — a combination that is spreading quickly through modern factory automation but also widens the attack surface once such machines are plugged into corporate networks.
What the Standard Actually Covers
IEC 62443 is an international framework governing the security of industrial automation and control systems. It sets out technical criteria for individual components, with the goal of shielding industrial networks from unauthorised access, tampering and exploitable weaknesses.
By awarding SL2 status, DEKRA certifies that the TM AI Cobot S line satisfies a defined set of IT and cybersecurity requirements for industrial components. Techman Robot describes itself as the first manufacturer worldwide of collaborative robots with integrated vision AI to reach certification under IEC 62443-4-2 SL2.
Beyond the Hardware
The company's approach extends past the technical features of the machines themselves. According to Techman Robot, it includes structured procedures spanning the entire product lifecycle: defined workflows for vulnerability management, policies for reporting security incidents, and governed mechanisms for software and firmware updates.
Techman Robot said it intends to strengthen these lifecycle measures further in order to meet the requirements of the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act.
That EU regulation is designed to harmonise cybersecurity rules for digital products and obliges manufacturers to monitor and remediate vulnerabilities continuously throughout a product's service life.
By demonstrating that established processes are already in place, the manufacturer is positioning itself ahead of tightening regulatory demands for connected industrial equipment.
