Automation and robotics have steadily transformed manufacturing productivity, quality, and overall throughput. With the rise of Industry 4.0, smart factories are no longer the future - they are the present.
The 9th Symposium on Automation & Robotics 2026 blends a cutting-edge expo with highly focused technical sessions. This year, we dive deep into the practical challenges of automation implementation, especially for MSMEs, focusing on machine utilization, material movement, quality consistency, and skill shortages.
The goal is to move away from legacy systems, build export competitiveness, and transition your business into a world-class global supplier.
