The Italian event for machine tools, robotics and automation is scheduled at fieramilano Rho from 14 to 17 October 2020.

August 2020 – A little more than two months are left to 32.BI-MU, the Italian event of reference for the world of machine tools, robotics and automation, on the scene from 14 to 17 October 2020 in the exhibition centre of fieramilano Rho. Promoted by UCIMU-Sistemi Per Produrre, the Italian machine tools, robots and automation systems manufacturers' association, and organised by EFIM-Ente Fiere Italiane Macchine, despite the prevailing Covid crisis, this year’s edition shows a good degree of participation by exhibitors, a wide technological index of products and a positive expectation of attendance.

“This year the exhibition will cover a smaller area than usual, but it will be interesting anyway, as we have organised several side initiatives complementing the trade show, which have been conceived to offer an experience up to the expectations of the event attendees,” said Alfredo Mariotti, General Manager of UCIMU.

At 32.BI-MU, the operators of the manufacturing industry will find an event rich in contents and capable of representing the main trends with regard to production technology and automation systems, additive manufacturing, robots, automation, Industry 4.0, auxiliary technologies, enabling technologies, IoT, vision systems, software, solutions for industrial material handling and warehousing management.

Besides the machines on show, the offering of the related sectors will be displayed in specific Innovation Areas – in accordance with tradition. Standing out among these areas, FABBRICAFUTURA will be dedicated to developers of software and technologies for connectivity and data management and safety; ROBOT PLANET will be centred upon industrial and collaborative robots, integrators and automation systems; BI-MU ADDITIVE will be a space where developers, manufacturers and customers of “machine tools of the third kind” can meet and exchange views; BI-MU Logistics will focus on logistics and material handling and SUB4TECH on technical sub-contracting and services for the industry.

Following on from the success of the past edition, again in 2020, BI-MU will combine its trade show with an in-depth cultural and thematic analysis, developed through a programme of conferences on specific issues and side events that will host discussions with opinion leaders and presentations of related technologies also by exhibitors. This and much more will be the heart of BI-MUpiù, the conference arena set up within one of the exhibition halls.

Massimo Carboniero, President of UCIMU-Sistemi Per Produrre, stated: “We, the manufacturers of machine tools and technologies 4.0, already experienced a first rebound over the first months after the lockdown. It mainly concerned the orders collected on the Italian market, which appears more receptive and dynamic than others of our traditional markets of destination in European and non-European areas”.
