SMC Exhibits at Automate 2022, June 6-9 in Detroit

Automate is the largest solutions-based showcase of robotics, motion control, vision, artificial intelligence, and automation industry trends held in North America organized by the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), a merger of the three trade groups: Robotics Industries Association (RIA), Advancing Vision + Imaging (AIA), and the Motion Control & Motor Association (MCMA).

“Propelled by a surge in non-automotive sectors, the number of robots sold in North America set a new record in 2021, with 39,708 units sold at a value of $2 billion, a 14% increase over the previous high in 2017.

According to new industry statistics released today by the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the number of robots sold in 2021 rose 28% over 2020. Record robot sales in the fourth quarter of the year—up 9% over Q4 2020—demonstrated the strong momentum already realized through the previous nine months as more industries look to automation to increase productivity and alleviate ongoing labor shortages.”
