Automatica

Just one year after returning from its unscheduled break, automatica, the exhibition for smart automation and robotics, will be held again from June 27 to 30, 2023. This is due to a change in its rhythm. From now on, the international automation industry will meet at the Munich exhibition center in odd years, side by side with LASER World of PHOTONICS—World’s Leading Trade Fair with Congress for Photonics Components, Systems and Applications.

Inspired by the succesful Invest in Odense events in Denmark the Danish representatives of Odense participated in the FundingBox Start-up Arena at Automatica in Munich, where new connections were made between investors and robot companies. Rocking Robots discussed this event with Martyna Waliszewska, Investment Manager at Invest in Odense.

What is the future role of automation and robotics in industry? Which developments and technologies will shape the work of tomorrow and what will be the importance of AI? automatica, which took place in Munich from June 21 to 24, 2022, provided both answers to these questions and numerous trends and innovations.

A lot of the solutions shown at Automatica are based on Cobots. One of the companies using Cobots in their offering is Robotiq. originally started as a provider of ‘end of arm’- tools, it has developed into a provideer of a broader portfolio. Rocking Robots spoke about their strategy with Leif Möller and Vincent Vandomme.

Yesterday Universal Robots unveiled their newest cobot, the UR20, at Automatica 2022.  Afterwards Rocking Robots talked to president Kim Povlsen on the challenges this cobot is addressing, and his vision on the rapidly growing cobotmarket.

In Munich Automatica 2022 has begun. Rocking Robots will be present as mediapartner of the Holland Pavillion, to report on this robotics event. A broad range of robotics related themes will be covered this week.

After several year of research and development Delft start-up IMSystems is ready to present its patented speed reducer to the market. This high precision gearbox uses rollers instead of gear teeth. At Automatica in Munich it will demonstrate its first product, a development kit for robot companies to test the system.
