From a robotic arm that precisely assembles a part, to a production line that uses vision technology to perform precise quality control to a hopping robot dog and robots playing soccer. The Vision, Robotics & Motion trade show captures the imagination. The futuristic-looking scenes with large and small robots are already technically feasible. But large-scale application remains (for now) out of the question. How do entrepreneurs implement elements such as vision technology in their processes? What does the future look like? This fair was created to answer that question. Various companies – from start-ups to multinationals – are forming Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution in which automation and robotization are essential.

“This fair is meant to bring people together. To talk business, but also to inspire each other,” says Bert-Jan Woertman, managing director at Mikrocentrum, the Vision, Robotics & Motion organizer. Inspiration is plentiful. Over a hundred exhibitors will showcase their latest, most significant, and most innovative technologies.

Solving a shortage of employees
For example, automation specialist Balluf brought a whole mobile home to show all their different sensors and systems. Their technology is used in various sectors, from manufacturing companies to logistics and agriculture. At some companies, sensors automatically restock products in the warehouse, while others focus on predictive maintenance, predicting maintenance on machines (especially the rotating parts) even before something breaks down. Such applications allow for a more streamlined production process with lower error rates.
