European conference to highlight robotics in automotive production

The number of robots ordered by Automotive OEMs and Tier-1 component suppliers increased 16% and 4% respectively in 2016, and has been the largest driver of the automotive manufacturing market's record performance.  The biggest increases were seen in inspection at 60%, assembly at 38%, and spot welding at 21%.

With the market expressing such concrete demand, the forthcoming Next-Generation Robotics & Automation: Automotive Manufacturing 2016 conference taking place in Birmingham, UK, from 29 to 30 November gives robotics and automation companies, including machine vision systems suppliers, the chance to fully capitalise on networking and development opportunities with qualified prospects across the automotive manufacturing industry as they exchange ideas on how to produce vehicles faster and cheaper, and still deliver a quality end product. 

This event offers automotive manufacturers the unique chance to maximise efficiency and throughput, through automated precision manufacturing.

The Only European Robotics Event Dedicated To The Automotive Industry offers the opportunity to discuss selection and implementation challenges specific to the sector:

  • 8+ Robotic Capabilities Case Studies - Comprehensive access to exclusive manufacturer perspectives on Next-Generation Robotic applications - direct from the plant
  • 5 Process Specific Breakout Groups - Grapple with application, maintenance & selection considerations particular to your production process: Body Shop, Paint Shop, Power Train & Final Assembly
