Automation Expo 2024 to focus on impact of AI & Robotics

Published on : Saturday 27-07-2024

Automation Expo 2024 (August 21-24) will focus on the impact of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Process and Factory Automation.

Mumbai, July 2024: IED Communications, the promoter of Automation Expo – Asia’s second largest and India’s biggest international exhibition of automation technologies – has announced the schedule for the 17th edition of the event, which will be held from August 21st to 24th, 2024, at the regular venue at NSE Complex, Goregaon (E) in Mumbai.

The focus of Automation Expo 2024 is on the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics. While robots have become more widely accepted in the industry thanks to their becoming cost competitive and easy to programme, the arrival of cobots on the scene over the last decade have dramatically altered the manufacturing landscape. Unlike robots that are caged and more suitable for handling applications that are often arduous and beyond human endurance, cobots are working in tandem with human workers being inherently safe in such collaborative operations. AI, on the other hand, when applied to production data helps improve failure prediction and maintenance planning and other tasks like curtailing material waste to more accurate demand forecasts. With more startups joining the traditional heavyweights, it is time the visitors, especially from the MSME segment, get a complete picture of the options available to them.

“AI has today captured the popular imagination with seemingly relentless possibilities, some quite controversial, while a few sinister. However, when it comes to use of AI in industry, there are several use cases already documented of how the technology benefits the industry by interpreting data much faster and more efficiently. Robotics and the way robots have evolved and metamorphosed into the safer and more user-friendly cobots, is another facet of the current phase of digital transformation in industry. In combination, AI and robotics present a formidable tool for the next stage of automation for both process and discrete manufacturing industries, further raising the bar for productivity,” says Dr M Arokiaswamy, Founder & Chairman, IED Communications, and the man behind the iconic show Automation Expo has become today.

Automation Expo 2024 will continue the tradition of regular features like an inaugural ceremony with a keynote by a leading figure of the industry setting the tone for the four-day event. There will be a carefully curated conference programme with domain experts conducting the proceedings; a CEO Conclave debating critical technology issues faced by the industry; and an awards ceremony felicitating the best booths at the show. The India Automation Challenge launched during the 2023 edition proved to be a hit and will return in 2024 with renewed vigour.

“The year 2023 marked a clear break from the impact of the Covid pandemic as India witnessed a surge in investments and manufacturing received a boost across the industry spectrum. This was aided in no small measure by the proactive policies of the Govt of India led by the new production-linked incentive scheme among other incentives. The country is now firmly on track marching towards the goal of becoming a global manufacturing powerhouse. Automation Expo 2024 will provide the necessary technology inputs and innovative products and ideas from global leaders on a single platform to help enterprises fully exploit the favourable tailwinds to surge forward, finding the right place in the global hierarchy,” says Jyothi Joseph, Director, IED Communications, who has been aggressively promoting this show globally.

With 40,000 attendees comprising experts in automation, this event serves as the prime platform to showcase cutting-edge technologies and to build valuable connections within the Instrumentation and Automation Industry.
