It’s a leading event for automation and innovation where you can find the world’s largest assortment of robotics, conveyor lines and machine vision systems. Automatica is a place where companies from all industries can find innovative solutions that enable them to produce products more efficiently and also of the higher quality. For that reason, it’s a mandatory event for decision-makers and production managers in all branches of manufacturing industry.
First of all, at the exhibition, you can have plenty of opportunities to get information about the latest developments, find ways to solve the last problems, establish contacts and effectively invest in the technology of the future. Besides that, you can gain some experience and knowledge in very important sectors of automatics application as assembly of complex solutions, robotics, machine vision and more.
Above all, this international specialized exhibition of automation and mechanization is the right place to discover future innovations and solutions. Mainly, the visitors of the exhibition are managers and customers, dispatchers and engineers, developers and designers.
1. Automatica 2020
So this year, the fair, which is held every two years, featured six exhibition halls that represented robotics, smart maintenance, machine vision and IT2 Industry. Each one covered different topics such as virtual reality, data and software, solutions for smart factory, etc. The exhibition was organized to bring creators and specialists in all branches of the industry together, to discover the latest developments related to the topics, that we highlighted earlier. As well as learn, how they can develop and evolve their production process and make it even more productive, efficient, less expensive and also to improve the quality.
As the result, the examples of vision-related products, Automatica 2020 represented smart cameras, 3D sensors, machine vision software, industrial cameras, autonomous mobile robots, and more.
Just like the last time, Automatica has prepared a separate pavilion for an important segment such as Professional Service Robotics, where service robots and components are used in medicine, agriculture, logistics and more. In addition, representatives of the scientific and industrial fields discussed current projects and developments through their presentations, including important topics such as human-robot interaction or concrete examples of applications in medicine and agriculture industries. As the result, the novelty of this year was the robot from Yaskawa, developed to maintain the necessary hygienic conditions in the laboratories.
The main reason of this event, is not only the world’s biggest offering of automation solutions, components and systems, but most importantly, the supporting purpose. For that, there was also organized a special program full of forums, shows, conferences and unbelievable demonstrations.
