All About Automation in Friedrichshafen is one of the most important regional trade fairs for industrial automation in southern Germany. It is aimed specifically at decision-makers, developers, engineers and users from small and medium-sized enterprises and industrial SMEs who want to implement automation solutions on site and in the immediate vicinity. The trade fair brings suppliers and users together at eye level - compact, efficient and practical. With its focus on personal discussions, functioning solutions and regional networking, it is the ideal forum for companies that want to future-proof their production processes.
The exhibition focuses on products and systems from the fields of control technology, industrial communication, sensor technology, safety & security, energy supply, software, mechanical components and switchgear construction. The spectrum is complemented by services relating to planning, engineering, retrofitting and maintenance. From mechanical engineering to plastics processing, from automotive to electronics production - All About Automation shows how automation solutions can be integrated modularly and economically into existing processes.
What makes the trade fair special is its clear regional focus. It brings together suppliers with production sites in southern Germany with visitors from the region - short distances, direct contacts, fast implementation. The focus is on personal contact: advice, planning and calculations are made at the stands - it is not uncommon for concrete projects to start here. Anyone who is also interested in other trade and industrial fairs in Friedrichshafen - such as those relating to aviation, mechanical engineering, energy or leisure - will find a comprehensive overview of the regional events on offer at Friedrichshafen Exhibition Center.
One focus is on the digitalization of industrial production. Smart control systems, industrial IoT, cloud solutions, edge computing, predictive maintenance and AI-based process optimization will be on display. The focus is not only on large corporations - but also on solutions that can be quickly implemented and scaled by medium-sized companies. Many exhibitors will be demonstrating live how classic machines can be made fit for the future through sensor technology, data integration and remote monitoring - a real practical forum for Industry 4.0.
A central element of All About Automation is the Talk Lounge. Lectures, panels and best-practice examples will take place here on both days of the trade fair - compact, manufacturer-neutral and free of charge for all visitors. Topics such as cyber security, retrofitting, smart sensor technology, sustainable production and standard-compliant switching will be discussed, as will funding opportunities for automation projects. The open atmosphere promotes dialog between technology, application and strategy - a clear added value of the trade fair.
In addition to new technologies, the trade fair will also show ways to modernize existing systems: for example, through retrofittable sensors, digital connection of old machines or the integration of energy-efficient drives. Human-machine interaction - ergonomic operating concepts, assistance systems, AR/VR-supported maintenance - is also receiving increasing attention. The aim is to present solutions that work in real production environments - not as dreams of the future, but as the next steps in day-to-day operations.
The visitor structure of the trade fair is clearly geared towards decision-makers, developers and practitioners. Short walking distances, clearly laid out halls, focused target groups - this makes All About Automation an ideal place for in-depth discussions and direct project initiation. It also gives smaller companies visibility and direct access to partners, integrators and system houses.
With its industrial structure, its proximity to Switzerland, Austria and Baden-Württemberg and its good connections, Friedrichshafen is an ideal location for a technology-oriented trade fair. The modern trade fair infrastructure, proximity to universities and technology clusters as well as a broad network of suppliers and mechanical engineering companies make the location particularly attractive.
All About Automation shows: Automation does not have to seem complex and distant - it is concrete, applicable and often easier to implement than many people think. The trade fair is a platform for everyone who wants to make their production smarter, more efficient and future-proof - regionally networked, technologically up to date and personally accessible.
