Robotics can help increase production, sales, and quality by offering viable solutions to provide a more effective division of labor and pressures for cost reductions. The potential applications of the robotics industry continue to increase, creating vast market opportunities.   

The global robotics market size reached USD 46 billion in 2023, and the International Federation of Robotics expects the market to reach USD 66 billion for the full year 2024. In the market, commercial service robots are becoming increasingly popular across a wide range of use cases to address the challenges of labor shortages and rising minimum wages. Currently, there are six main application areas for commercial service robots:

Professional cleaningLogistics and transportHospitalityAgricultureHealthcareInspection and maintenance

Compared to industrial robots, there is more emphasis on the interaction experience with service robots. Frequent interactions between users and robots require efficient feedback speeds, placing higher demands on the stability of the wireless connection, high-speed transmission, shock resistance of antennas and other components, and miniaturization technology.

As a global industrial technology company, TE Connectivity plays a crucial role in the service robot field. TE’s antennas – using wireless connectivity solutions help enable service robots to perform efficiently in various environments, meeting automation needs across fields and building an innovative ecosystem for intelligent robots.

GateKeeper will showcase its proximity-based passwordless MFA and identity access platform at Identiverse 2026 at Booth #113, highlighting how it helps mission-critical industries secure shared workstations without slowing down frontline workflows. The press release positions GateKeeper as a solution for improving identity assurance, user accountability, audit visibility, and frictionless access across manufacturing, healthcare, law enforcement, and other high-security environments.

LAS VEGAS, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Untethered Labs, Inc., creator of GateKeeper Proximity, today announces that it will showcase GateKeeper Proximity and GateKeeper IDP at Identiverse 2026, taking place June 15–17 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Attendees can visit GateKeeper at Booth #113 for live demonstrations focused on passwordless workstation access, shared workstation accountability, and stronger identity assurance for mission-critical environments.

” At Identiverse, we are showing how GateKeeper extends passwordless MFA and identity assurance to the frontline environments where speed, accountability, and security all have to work together.” Siddharth Pothbare.

GateKeeper is addressing a persistent identity challenge for organizations where shared workstations, fast user switching, operational uptime, and auditability all matter. While many organizations have invested in cloud SSO, MFA, and identity governance, shared endpoint environments remain difficult to secure without adding friction to daily workflows.

Manufacturing floors, healthcare clinics, law enforcement facilities, and other high-throughput operations often require multiple users to access the same endpoint throughout the day. In these environments, long passwords, shared credentials, frequent password resets, and incomplete user traceability can create both security risk and productivity drag. GateKeeper helps organizations reduce reliance on passwords while tying workstation access events back to the individual user.

GateKeeper combines proximity-based authentication with centralized access management and identity provider capabilities. Users can authenticate with a GateKeeper token, supported NFC/RFID badge, or mobile credential, helping organizations enforce consistent MFA while maintaining a fast and familiar user experience. The result is stronger identity assurance from the workstation to applications, without forcing frontline teams into slower or more disruptive login processes.

“Identity programs have made major progress in the cloud, but shared workstations remain one of the hardest environments to secure without disrupting operations,” said Siddharth Pothbare, CEO at Untethered Labs. “At Identiverse, we are showing how GateKeeper extends passwordless MFA and identity assurance to the frontline environments where speed, accountability, and security all have to work together.”

At Booth #113, GateKeeper will demonstrate how organizations can:

Replace shared passwords with token, badge, or mobile-based passwordless authentication.Tie workstation access events to individual users, even in shared workstation environments.Enforce phone-free MFA consistently across mission-critical endpoints and applications.Improve workflow speed for operators, clinicians, officers, and frontline staff.Generate clean audit logs that support compliance, investigations, and access reviews.Extend identity assurance from workstation login to downstream application access through GateKeeper IDP capabilities.

GateKeeper’s approach has already helped mission-critical organizations reduce login friction while improving security and accountability. In one customer deployment, Major Tool & Machine reported significant time savings compared to conventional authentication methods.

“While conventional two-factor authentication methods could have cost the company over 240 hours of login time for 14,000 logins in one month, GateKeeper took only 20 hours of time to log in. GateKeeper made the computers secure, and cost 90% less in time as compared to any other authentication method.” — Tom Riddle, Network Administrator, Major Tool & Machine
