Automation UK reveals an exciting addition to its 2025 show

Following the overwhelming success of this year’s Automation UK, the show organisers, Automate UK, are delighted to announce that next year’s event will be significantly bigger than before. The previously co-located Machine Vision Conference (MVC), now known as Vision UK, will be fully integrated into Automation UK upon its return to the CBS Arena in Coventry between 7-8 May 2025.

Established in 2023, Automation UK has already developed a reputation for featuring a vast array of state-of-the-art automation and robotics technologies and solutions showcased by an impressive selection of world-class exhibitors. Through incorporating Vision UK, this reputation will be further enhanced with the addition of an extensive range of cutting-edge industrial machine vision solutions.

Automate UK is the leading trade association dedicated to representing the interests of automation suppliers and end users of technology across processing, packaging, robotics and machine vision. Automate UK took the strategic decision to rebrand MVC and incorporate it within Automation UK so that the show can deliver greater benefits to both visitors and exhibitors. For visitors, this provides them with the opportunity to discover the latest innovative solutions from well-known manufacturers, all under one roof.

Exhibitors will benefit from having a wider pool of potential buyers and visitors to engage with from some of the world’s biggest and most innovative brands. They will be seeking to procure the latest advanced technologies and solutions to further improve their operations. Many of this year’s exhibitors have already reserved their stand space at next year’s show. For more information about exhibiting at Automation UK 2025, please see the exhibitor brochure.

Scott McKenna, Automate UK’s Chief Operating Officer, commented on Automation UK’s exciting news: Automation UK is dedicated to showcasing the latest advancements in the automation and robotics industry. Having Vision UK included within Automation UK will enhance the show experience for both visitors and exhibitors. The addition of industrial machine vision alongside automation technologies is a natural fit and having them integrated into one show ensures a larger audience for exhibitors from both industries to showcase their products and services to.
