Industrial automation and robotics take center stage on Lake Constance across two days of hands-on demonstrations and supplier meetings. In 2027 the emphasis lies on integrated hardware and digital solutions for production environments.
Dates and venue in Friedrichshafen
All About Automation - Friedrichshafen 2027 runs 2 to 3 March at Messegelände Friedrichshafen. The program focuses on trade visitors with direct access to working equipment and system demonstrations.
Key numbers for the event
The edition features 534 exhibitors and 6,850 trade visitors. Those figures reflect the commercial scale and technical density available across halls and stands.
Exhibitor profile and represented sectors
Exhibitors include automation component manufacturers, robotics suppliers, system integrators, industrial software vendors and digitalization consultancies. The offering ranges from sensors and PLCs to connected factory solutions and robotic cells, allowing side‑by‑side technical comparisons.
Program highlights and special areas
The fair presents two Talk Lounges with technical presentations and guided tours across themed zones. Special areas include the FutureNow Hub and a Start‑up Area with live demonstrations. These formats showcase applied use cases and integrations between robotics and industrial software.
Practical advice for B2B prospecting
- Create a shortlist of exhibitors by function and by the specific technical challenge you need to solve. Favor vendors offering both hardware and software when interoperability matters.
- Book short meetings with integrators and manufacturers to address electrical and communication compatibility.
- Bring concise technical documents in digital form and a one‑page project brief to send after meetings.
- Use guided tours to spot complementary technologies that shorten commissioning time.
These actions help convert conversations into measurable commercial outcomes and make vendor comparison faster during the show.
