The British Automation & Robot Association (BARA), organisers of Automation UK, has opened visitor registration for this year’s event, which is being held at the CBS Arena in Coventry 18-19 June 2024. BARA said: “Last year was the inaugural Automation UK and it proved to be a massive success with over 1,000 visitors attending find out more about the benefits of automation and robotics for their businesses. It is anticipated that in June the event will be buzzing again with visitors keen to see the latest solutions from an even greater number of leading businesses showcasing their products and services.

“The primary objective of the event is to emphasise the importance of automation and robotics to the growth of the UK economy, and it aims to motivate and encourage businesses to invest in these technologies by highlighting the advantages they can bring. Automation and robotics can streamline processes, often resulting in significant financial benefits for businesses; these solutions can also deliver a safer working environment — and go some way to solving labour and skills shortages.”

Last year, Automation UK attracted visitors from a wide cross section of industries, such as manufacturing, retail/consumer, automotive, electrical, electronics, engineering, aerospace, maritime, food, drink, logistics, transport, oil and gas, and nuclear. Some of the founding exhibitors attending again this year include ABB, Fanuc UK, Festo, Piab, KUKA Robotics UK, Schubert UK, and RARUK Automation.

There will also be a broad range of ‘content rich’ seminars delivered by industry experts. Further information and registration details can be found at the website here.
