Automate Named Top 10 Manufacturing Show in the U.S.
Automate 2015 to be Held in Chicago, March 23-26, 2015
(Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - June 5, 2014) The Automate Show has been named one of the top 10 manufacturing shows in the U.S. according to Superior Business Solutions (link to website article), who compiled the list after researching over 150 different manufacturing related shows on the Trade Show News Network. Automate 2015, North America's leading automation event, will be held March 23-26, 2015 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
"We're excited to see the recognition Automate has received by being placed on this top ten list," said Jeff Burnstein, President of the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), primary sponsor of the Automate 2015 Show and Conference. "We see the enthusiasm through our new and returning exhibitors, who have already secured 125% of floor space ten months out from the show compared to our 2013 show."
Among the 129 companies that are already committed to exhibiting covering over 48,000 square feet of space, 25 have never exhibited at Automate before. Thirty-three companies that have exhibited previously are expanding their space in order to display more of their technologies. A special pavilion at the front of the show is devoted to system integrators who will present a broad range of applications in areas such as material handling, assembly, welding, inspection, and material removal. This space is filling up quickly and will sell out in the coming weeks.
"We continue to add space, including a research pavilion for universities to exhibit their latest technologies," added Burnstein. "This space is free of charge for applicable colleges and universities, so we encourage those involved in advanced research in robotics, vision or motion control to sign up today."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
