automatica Munich

automatica, held in Munich, is a leading international trade fair dedicated entirely to the future of industrial production since its inception in 2004. Organized by Messe München GmbH—one of the world’s largest and most experienced trade fair organizers in the field of advanced technology—the event takes place every two years in June at the modern Messe München exhibition center. The venue’s excellent infrastructure and optimal transport links make it an ideal location for professional exchange and business networking.

As a purely professional event, automatica is aimed exclusively at an international audience of decision-makers, developers, and technical experts. Its core focus is on automated and intelligent production processes. The goal is to illustrate and make tangible the transition from traditional manufacturing methods to autonomous systems. automatica positions itself not only as a platform for innovation but also as a driving force behind industrial transformation.

The fair covers a wide and in-depth range of topics, including industrial robotics, collaborative robotic systems (cobots), advanced handling and assembly technology, machine vision, optical inspection, digital manufacturing solutions, Industry 4.0, IoT applications, and the use of artificial intelligence in automation. Growing areas of focus include predictive maintenance, digital twins, and sustainable production processes. Under the guiding theme of "Green Automation", energy efficiency and resource conservation are becoming increasingly central.

Exhibitors from around the globe showcase specialized products and services—from precision gripping systems and advanced robotic solutions to scalable software applications for the connected factories of the future. automatica brings together technological developments from a wide range of sectors, including the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, electronics, logistics, pharmaceuticals, and food production.

A distinctive feature of automatica is its close integration with other forward-looking events. Held in parallel are Laser World of Photonics and World of Quantum, all accessible with a single ticket. This thematic synergy creates a unique platform for those working at the intersection of automation, digitalization, and sustainable manufacturing.

With its clear thematic focus, technical depth, and international relevance, automatica sets the benchmark as an essential meeting point for everyone shaping the future of industrial production.

On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 4 days of the fair, from 21. June to 24. June 2022, about 574 exhibitors from 34 countries and 28937 visitors from 77 countries on the automatica in Munich.
