all about automation Friedrichshafen

all about automation Friedrichshafen is a specialised trade fair for industrial automation, held annually since 2014 at the Messe Friedrichshafen exhibition centre on the shores of Lake Constance. The event is organised by Easyfairs GmbH, an international event organiser that runs the all about automation series across Germany and Switzerland – always with a strong regional focus and direct access to industrial users and decision-makers.

Once a year, the automation industry gathers in Friedrichshafen to showcase cutting-edge technologies, proven solutions and forward-looking innovations in control and drive systems, robotics, industrial communication and digitalisation. The emphasis is on real-world applications, boosting efficiency, flexible production systems and the seamless integration of digital technologies into existing processes. Visitors experience firsthand how artificial intelligence, machine learning and data-driven systems are shaping the reality of Industry 4.0. The exhibition is further enriched by advanced safety and sustainability solutions that combine technical performance with environmental responsibility.

What sets all about automation Friedrichshafen apart is its strong practical orientation: in a compact and personal setting, automation users, developers, decision-makers and solution providers engage in direct dialogue – far removed from the anonymity of large exhibition halls. Exhibitors from across control technology, robotics, sensor systems, software, engineering and system integration – including many based in the Lake Constance-Upper Swabia region – present their latest developments. Alongside the exhibition, the practice-driven “Talk Lounge” offers valuable insights into current trends, challenges and future issues in automation.

The target audience is clearly defined: professionals and executives from manufacturing industries – including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, automotive and food processing – benefit from concise, relevant information and direct access to manufacturers, distributors and service providers. As such, the fair not only promotes technological advancement in the region but also strengthens the local SME sector through targeted knowledge transfer and new business opportunities.

With excellent transport links, all about automation Friedrichshafen is easily accessible from southern Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The modern exhibition centre is located just minutes from Friedrichshafen Airport and is also conveniently reached by train or car. For those looking to experience industrial innovation in action, explore practical automation solutions and expand regional networks, this is the ideal meeting point.

The all about automation will take place on 2 days from Tuesday, 10. March to Wednesday, 11. March 2026 in Friedrichshafen.
