The future of automation
AUTOMATICA2016: Welcome to the largest industry gathering for automation.
“AUTOMATICA has demonstrated once again this year:
It pays to take part! You
sense the upbeat mood and
optimism in the halls,
which reflect the innovative
force as well as the industry’s visions of the future and
ensure a continued upward
trend. The trade fair has long
since become a MUST in
the trade fair planning of exhibitors and visitors.”

Director, sortimat Assembly & Feeder
Technology, a subsidiary of ATS
Automation Tooling Systems GmbH,
Germany
34,493 trade visitors, 55,000 m2 of exhibition space and 724 exhibitors from 42 countries:
AUTOMATICA is a trade fair of superlatives. This is where the “Who’s Who” of
the manufacturing industry showcases the world’s largest range of robotics, assembly
lines and machine-vision systems.
Do you want to hold discussions with customers from around the world and present your
production innovations on a large stage? As an innovation platform for automated
processes, AUTOMATICA is the event of choice for experts in all branches of industry. If your objective is faster, higher-quality, more cost-effective production, then
this is the place to be. That is because the fair allows you to meet decision-makers who
want to invest effectively in future technologies. Intersolar/EES and MAINTAIN are
being held at the trade-fair center at the same time as AUTOMATICA, which gives
you access to an even larger group of visitors.
Highlight in 2016: Service robotics will have its own exhibition sector with some 5,000 m2
of space. If you are a supplier of service robots and/or components or a research
organization, this is the perfect place to introduce yourself to an audience of interested
professionals.
Make new customer contacts for your business by exhibiting at AUTOMATICA2016.
