Automate 2021 Sees Record Number of Early Sign Ups
More than 250 so far is largest in show’s history
ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, USA - August 12, 2019 - Since the close of the 2019 Automate show, more than 250 exhibitors have booked over 150,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space for Automate 2021, North America's leading automation trade show. This is the largest early sign-up in the history of the event, which dates back to 1977, and a strong endorsement of the show's move to its new home in Detroit, Michigan.
Automate will run May 17-20, 2021, at Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan, USA, and ultimately should feature more than 500 exhibiting companies. More than 20,000 attendees are expected from small, medium, and large companies in every industry looking to successfully deploy automation. Exhibit space is now open to all companies who wish to exhibit.
"Automate has established itself as the most important show for users in every industry looking for automation solutions and the latest advances in automation, including robotics, machine vision, motion control, AI, and related technologies," said Jeff Burnstein, president of the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the show's sponsor.
"As the use of automation grows globally, there's an increasing demand for practical, real-world information about how to successfully automate," Burnstein added. He noted that the five-day conference that accompanies the show is filled with practical presentations from leading global experts. The trade show floor itself also offers "expert huddles," focused on specific areas of interest to users, such as collaborative robots, autonomous mobile robots, 3D vision, embedded vision, quality control, machine learning/AI, IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), and connected motion control.

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.
