Modern robotics solutions enable a practical introduction without having to fundamentally rebuild existing production facilities.

The industrial world is at a crucial point: automation and robotics are no longer topics for the future, but concrete tools for ensuring competitiveness, resilience and productivity. While the shortage of skilled workers, cost pressure and volatile markets are increasing, modern robotics solutions are opening up new scope for action - even for small and medium-sized companies.

But where to start? Which applications already make economic sense today? And how can you get started without turning your entire production process upside down?

Our event "Automate instead of wait and see - getting started with robotics" is aimed at decision-makers, production managers and those interested in innovation who no longer want to sit back and watch, but want to actively shape the future. Together, we will take a practical look at current robotics solutions, successful entry strategies and typical hurdles - openly, comprehensibly and without technical jargon.

Experience how robotics is gradually finding its way into real production environments, what opportunities arise from this and how you can go from idea to implementation. Exchange ideas with experts, discuss your questions and take away specific ideas for your company.

👉 Now is the right time to take the first step.

Don't wait - automate.

Exhibitor fair and networking

The accompanying exhibition is a central component of the event and offers you the opportunity to directly experience concrete solutions for getting started in automation, robotics and AI.

Here you will meet selected technology providers, research institutions and implementation partners who will present practical approaches, tried-and-tested systems and innovative applications. In a direct exchange, you will gain valuable insights into which technologies can already be used economically today and how they can be integrated into existing processes.

Your benefits as a participant:

  • Practical insights: Experience concrete robotics and AI applications as well as demonstrators up close and understand their benefits for your company
  • Direct access to experts: Exchange ideas personally with providers, researchers and integrators about your individual challenges
  • Orientation in the technology jungle: Get a compact overview of relevant solutions, trends and possible applications
  • Inspiration for your own projects: Identify specific use cases and next steps for your company
  • Network & partnerships: Establish targeted contacts with potential project partners and solution providers

Particularly against the backdrop of increasing demands on productivity, flexibility and competitiveness, the exhibition provides low-threshold access to technologies that are already being used successfully in practice today.
Take the opportunity to obtain comprehensive information, address individual questions and take away specific ideas for your next steps towards automation and robotics.
