Robot Manufacturers present Highlights
IFR Members exhibit at AUTOMATICA
The preparations for AUTOMATICA 2010 are in full swing, because the international leading trade fair for automation and mechatronics, which is taking place from 8 to 11 June 2010 at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre, wants to follow up on its previous successes.
And the signs are good, because users of automation technologies have optimised their processes during the time of the crisis - this is an ideal field for automation and AUTOMATICA. The industry trade fair is coming in 2010 at precisely the right time. Expectations for business activity in 2010 are increasing, and consequently the trade fair is taking place at an ideal time.
The IFR Secretariat and Statistical Department will also present their products and services at this important trade show. Please visit us in Hall A2, booth 538.
The fair, which includes the biggest robotics range in the world, will be presenting innovative and integrated solutions for every technical manufacturing challenge. Among these exhibitors are the following IFR Members:
Name / location | Displayed Products | |
ABB Automation Hall B2, Booth 321 | Soaring energy prices and concern about climate change from man-made emissions of carbon dioxide have propelled energy efficiency to the top of the agenda in the boardroom, in public debate and in public policy.
