AUTOMATION UK, the UK’s largest automation, robotics and machine vision exhibition, will return to the Coventry Building Society Arena between 7-8 May 2025.
Organised by Automate UK, the trade body said the event provides exhibitors with a unique opportunity to boost sales, generate leads and connect with key decision makers.
Having grown significantly since its inaugural show in 2023, Automation UK enables businesses to showcase their cutting-edge solutions, network with like-minded peers and learn more about the latest trends and developments impacting the industry.
To deliver better experiences for exhibitors, Automate UK have decided to make Vision UK, previously known as Machine Vision Conference (MVC), an integral part of Automation UK 2025.
With a new name and identity, Vision UK highlights the latest industrial vision technologies and innovations. Vision UK will have a dedicated section within the larger Automation UK exhibition, where machine vision companies can exhibit their products to potential buyers.
Scott McKenna, Automate UK’s chief operating officer said, “Integrating Vision UK into Automation UK presents a great opportunity for us to raise the profile of the machine vision and automation industries at one exhibition. Both events have earned acclaim from visitors and exhibitors alike, and combining the two ensures that a broader cross-section of end-users can discover the best of what each area of the industry has to offer.”
This announcement follows the success of last year’s Automation UK and MVC exhibitions, co-located at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Paul McCauley, sales manager, Bowe Intralogistics, said, “We had a great time at Automation UK, lots of people around the stand with some great leads. Both days have been busy and very beneficial to our business. We would highly recommend Automation UK.”
Paul Cunningham, director, Acrovision, added, “Overall, MVC has been a nice mix of exhibition and conference. One of our key focuses as a vision company is to raise awareness about the importance of vision technology to as many new people as we can – and this event contributes to achieving that goal.”
