The exhibition is aimed at manufacturers of automation components and systems, robotics providers, system integrators, software developers, distributors, engineering companies and industrial service providers. Visitors include production managers, automation engineers, plant operators, maintenance teams, technical buyers and decision-makers from manufacturing businesses. The exhibition scope covers control systems, industrial communication, sensors, machine vision, robotics, drive technology, software, artificial intelligence, machine learning and solutions supporting connected production environments. Its compact format is designed to support direct technical discussions between suppliers and users working on automation and smart-production projects.
The 2026 programme will include the Talk Lounge, with presentations addressing robotics, digital transformation, smart sensors, AI and machine learning. all about automation will again be held alongside maintenance Switzerland, connecting automation and digitalisation with predictive maintenance, asset management and smart-maintenance technologies. The combined format is expected to bring around 300 exhibitors to Zurich and enables visitors to examine production automation and industrial maintenance within the same exhibition environment. The event also reflects Zurich’s role as a regional centre for technology startups, research institutions and industrial innovation.
