TestZone: Robotics for SMEs
The live robotics and automation application experience
Are you looking for solutions to increase productivity and quality while lowering costs in line with the requirements of SMEs? Welcome to the interactive ‘TestZone: Robotics for SMEs‘ in Hall A5. This is the perfect opportunity for you to see how easy it can be to handle innovative applications. Try workable automation solutions for small parts assembly, palletizing, pick and place, surface machining, welding, quality inspection, and more—live and hands-on.
How to: automation for SMEs
Robotics for SMEs still need a lot of work. But the course has been set and an increasing number of SMEs are now discovering the advantages of innovative applications in this field. Barriers to entry? A thing of the past. The usability of robots is improving at tremendous speed and very soon they will 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 entire 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.
Visit the automatica TestZone to experience first-hand what this ‘democratization of robotics’ means for your business. Which product suits the needs of my company? Which solutions is most beneficial for my production facility? Just try it out—through learning by doing with expert guidance. Whether they are specialized in no-code, cobots, or low-cost; whether large established manufacturer or newcomer taking a leap forward—all of our exhibitors have one thing in common: They know the needs of SMEs.
Test it—our application spectrum:
- Pick-and-place tasks
- Palletizing
- Small parts assembly
- Surface Treatment
- Welding
- Quality inspection
Focus on SMEs
The TestZone forms part of our large-scale 2025 SME campaign. In cooperation with strong multipliers such as the BVMW e.V. SME association and the CCIs, we have compiled an overall program for SMEs currently going the first or second mile towards automated production. It includes case studies, workshops, panel discussions, and presentations as well as a dedicated SME Day on Friday, June 27.
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.
