The Munich Shanghai Robotics and Automation Exhibition (Automatica Shanghai), launched by Messe München, marks the official commencement of a new global strategic initiative for automatica, Germany’s premier robotics and automation trade fair. The inaugural edition of Automatica Shanghai is themed “Intelligent Mobility, Converging Machines for the Future,” establishing a high‑level platform for international exchange and collaboration within the global automation and robotics industries.

As one of the most influential specialized exhibition brands in the global automation and robotics sectors, automatica has long focused on advancing robotics, smart manufacturing, and automation technologies, spanning the entire value chain—from core components and system integration to intelligent production solutions and industry‑specific applications.

Today, the global robotics industry is rapidly transitioning from “automation‑driven substitution” toward “intelligent collaborative systems.” Meanwhile, China, with its well‑established industrial ecosystem, continuously strengthening innovation capabilities, and vast market demand, has emerged as a key growth engine for the worldwide robotics sector.

Against this backdrop, automatica makes its debut in Shanghai, representing not only an important expansion of the brand’s global footprint but also a significant step toward deepening the integration of cutting‑edge international technologies with China’s dynamic market needs, thereby injecting fresh momentum into industry‑wide innovation and development.

The Munich Shanghai Robotics and Automation Exhibition (Automatica Shanghai) will comprehensively showcase the latest breakthroughs in robotics and automation, covering such key segments as industrial robots, collaborative robots, service robots, mobile robots, machine vision and inspection technologies, drive and control systems, sensor technologies, assembly and material handling systems, industrial software, artificial intelligence solutions, and end‑to‑end smart factory solutions.

As a pivotal stop in automatica’s global expansion strategy, Automatica Shanghai is more than just a showcase of technological advances—it will serve as a vital platform for fostering cross‑industry innovation, driving real‑world application deployment, and facilitating international cooperation and knowledge exchange.
