Automate is new name for International Robots, Vision and Motion Control Show
Article Type: News From: Assembly Automation, Volume 30, Issue 4
AutomateSM is the new name for the International Robots, Vision and Motion Control Show sponsored by North America’s leading trade associations for these technologies. The show will be collocated at McCormick Place in Chicago, March 21-24, 2011, with ProMat® 2011, the leading show for the material handling industry and logistics industry sponsored by Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA).
“Now is the time for companies to automate so they can take advantage of technologies like robots, vision and motion that allow them to improve productivity, speed time to market, boost product quality, and lower overall costs,” Burnstein explained.
Burnstein said the new show name, new venue (the event was previously held in Rosemont, Illinois), and collocation with ProMat® 2011 has generated widespread enthusiasm.
“Right at the front of our show we’ll feature a pavilion of leading system integrators who will demonstrate solutions for a wide-range of industries. This is a major change in our show layout – we want visitors to see solutions first,” said Burnstein. “Then, once our visitors see how everything works together, they can search the show for leading companies, new products and importantly, industry expertise to help them develop solutions that meet their specific needs.”
Burnstein said the solutions on display will emphasize more than just manufacturing. “Robots, vision and motion are critical to automation solutions outside the factory as well. You see increasing applications in security, medical, lab automation and entertainment, for example, and we plan to highlight these uses on our floor.”
