Automate is a premier event in the world of automation, robotics, vision, motion control, and related technologies. It’s a massive gathering that brings together industry professionals, experts, and enthusiasts to explore the latest advancements, trends, and solutions in automation.
As a tradeshow, it has a rich history that spans several decades. The roots of Automate can be traced back to 1976 when the first Robots Show was established. This show focused on showcasing robotics technology and its applications in various industries. Over the years, the Robots Show evolved and expanded its scope to include other automation technologies like vision and motion control. This reflected the growing convergence of these technologies in modern automation systems.

This brought together all the key players in the automation industry under one roof. Automate has witnessed remarkable growth in terms of exhibitor participation, attendee numbers, and show floor space. It has become the largest and most comprehensive automation show in North America.
Automate has continuously adapted to the changing needs of the industry by incorporating new technologies and trends.
