Robotics & Automation 2027 is the UK’s largest dedicated exhibition focused on robotics, automation and the technologies transforming modern manufacturing, logistics and business operations.
Taking place at the NEC Birmingham on 17–18 March 2027, the event brings together robotics manufacturers, automation specialists, systems integrators, technology suppliers and businesses looking to improve efficiency, productivity and operational performance.
The exhibition covers a wide range of automation technologies, from industrial robots and collaborative robots through to autonomous mobile robots, machine vision, automated handling, control systems and integrated automation solutions.
Robotics & Automation is co-located with IntraLogisteX, the Sustainable Supply Chain Exhibition and Fulfilment & Last Mile Expo, giving visitors access to a much wider range of technologies covering manufacturing, warehousing, logistics and supply chain operations.
Automation and Robotics at Robotics & Automation 2027
Robotics and automation are at the heart of the event, with exhibitors demonstrating technologies designed to automate production, handling, warehousing and other business processes.
Visitors can discover industrial robotics, collaborative robots, AMRs and AGVs, automated storage and retrieval systems, machine vision, PLC and control technologies, pick and place systems, palletising and end-of-line automation.
The event also provides an opportunity to see live demonstrations and discuss real-world automation applications with robotics manufacturers, systems integrators and technology specialists.
For businesses considering an automation project, the exhibition provides an opportunity to compare different technologies, understand potential applications and identify suppliers that could help implement an automated solution.Automation Technologies at Robotics & Automation 2027
- Industrial Robotics. Industrial robotic systems can automate manufacturing, handling, assembly and other repetitive processes, improving productivity, consistency and operational efficiency.
- Cobots. Collaborative robots provide flexible automation options for businesses looking to automate repetitive tasks while working alongside human operators.
- AMR & AGV Systems. Autonomous mobile robots and automated guided vehicles can automate the movement of materials, components and products around manufacturing, warehouse and distribution environments.
- ASRS. Automated storage and retrieval systems can increase storage density and automate the movement and retrieval of goods within warehouses and distribution facilities.
- Machine Vision. Machine vision systems support automated inspection, identification, measurement and quality control, helping businesses improve accuracy and automate decision-making.
