In the future, automation and IT will go hand in hand. IT2Industry provides a unique platform for this.

(Service robots in progress)

Service robots record its strong growth on AUTOMATICA, offering a fascinating perspective on everyday life in the future: ambulances in hospitals or inventory robots in department stores, service robots as driverless systems or as human assistants.

(China goes towards AUTOMATICA)

China's interest in AUTOMATICA is unprecedented. The number of visitors and exhibitors has more than tripled. The prosperity of China's automation is becoming more and more noticeable in AUTOMAITCA. A total of 13 delegations came from China.

(Workplace4.0 - People become the focus)

New production methods – new work processes: Work 4.0 is a theme of AUTOMATICA. In the future humans will work alongside machines. Humans are in the spotlight because of their emotional intelligence, and robots are assisting them.

AUTOMATICA 2016 covers all aspects of automation: from single components to complete systems, from specific applications to related services; it presents the entire automation industry chain, bringing together suppliers, buyers, corporate management, product developers and designers , each takes what he needs.

AUTOMATICA 2016 has exceeded all expectations and has reached a new dimension, demonstrating a deep understanding of future production based on digitalization, human-robot collaboration and service robots.
