It provides strong support and significant expertise to the growth of the automation sector in the UK, as well as having a presence overseas at the International Federation of Robotics.

This provides visitors with the added benefit that they can also explore the MVC conference for the latest vision technology and services from world-leading companies in industrial vision and imaging. The two events complement each other, making it a great opportunity for visitors to see both under one roof.

The Automation UK show brings industrial automation and robotics to life. The first show already featured big brands as exhibitors, demonstrating the desire and need for an exhibition of this type in the UK. Some of the founding companies include ABB, Fanuc, Mills CNC, Piab, Pilz, Yaskawa, KUKA, RM Group, Schubert, CKF, Festo, and RARUK Automation.

The exhibition will appeal to robotics and automation companies, eager to exhibit their latest industrial products and services, robots, robotic systems, systems integration, automation control parts and systems, sensors and machine safety.

With the broad range of industries where products and services from the robotics and automation sector are in use, it is expected that a significant proportion of visitors to the show will come from these industries, such as manufacturing, retail/consumer, automotive, electrical, electronics, engineering, aerospace, maritime, food, drink, logistics, transport, oil, gas and nuclear.

The show will provide exhibitors with plenty of opportunities to meet key decision-makers and buyers who will be looking for solutions to increase productivity of their businesses. It is anticipated that exhibition spaces will sell fast, and potential exhibitors are encouraged by the show organisers to book their space early to avoid disappointment.

This provides a fantastic opportunity to show visitors how they can automate their businesses which may deliver long lasting value and benefits to all involved.

The show will attract hundreds of visitors seeking for new products and services, so hosting captivating live demonstrations and tech walkthroughs should certainly catch visitors’ attention.

There will be ample opportunities to network with a variety of show attendees whether they be visitors, other exhibitors, or likeminded industry experts.

Mark Stepney, Managing Director, Schubert said this about the 2023 Automation UK show: “The quality of visitors to the show has been exceptional, over 80% of the visitors that came to our stand were from companies that we had never met before. It was also outside of the process and packaging market, giving us a wider scope to market to.”

The Automation UK is an opportunity not to be missed if you’re looking to showcase your latest products to a wide target audience.
