TestZone: Robotics for medium-sized companies
The live robotics and automation application experience
2023 presents a new opportunity to test away! With its exciting robotics exhibits from the fields of cobots and no-code, the interactive TestZone in Hall A5 offers automation newcomers a unique opportunity to experience several innovative robotics and automation applications live and up close. And above all: to try them out for themselves.
Focus on people
The robotics exhibits at the world’s leading exhibition clearly showed: People are finally taking center stage. The current state of development suggests that robots will very soon be just as easy to operate and set up as devices such as smartphones are now. It is already possible for users to put together their own modular systems with very little prior knowledge using configurators. And robot travel paths can be taught with ‘no code’ – i.e. without programming or IT skills. In brief: Automation is becoming more and more accessible. For all of us.
The automatica TestZone provided a first glance at this ‘democratization of robotics’. It was a place for non-committal learning by doing and trying out new technology under expert guidance. Whether they were specialized in no-code, cobots, or low-cost; whether large established manufacturer or newcomer taking a leap forward – they all had one thing in common: an innovative spirit. This format will be expanded and further developed within the framework of automatica 2025 to make it appeal to even more target groups who have had little or no exposure to the topic so far.

Review of the 2023 TestZone
Doing is believing. More than 4,000 excited visitors seized the unique opportunity to explore how robots can transform and facilitate their businesses. Whether expert audience or first exposure to robotics: 94 % of all visitors gave this format an excellent to good rating. Feel free to revisit the big test in our video.
