In this episode of Behind The Robot, Adam Ewing speaks with Tyler Bouchard, CEO and co-founder of Flexxbotics. Tyler explains how modern manufacturing is shifting toward software defined automation and why orchestration, interoperability, and autonomy sit at the centre of scalable robotics adoption.

He shares his journey from mechanical engineering and industrial automation into building Flexxbotics, and how early experience across manufacturing, robotics components, and commercial roles shaped the company’s vision. Tyler discusses the challenge of connecting robots, machines, and business systems, and why clean, contextualised data is critical for reliable AI deployment in high compliance environments.

The conversation explores manufacturing labour gaps, the role of robotics in reshoring and reindustrialisation, and the skills engineers need to succeed at production scale.

This episode offers practical insight into robotics software, manufacturing autonomy, and building systems that work reliably in the real world.
