We’re excited to announce that Innovative Automation will be back on the show floor at Automate 2025, taking place May 12–15 in Detroit, Michigan. As a long-time attendee and exhibitor, we recognize just how valuable this event is — not only for us, but for the entire automation and manufacturing ecosystem.
A Legacy of Innovation at Automate
For years, Automate has been a cornerstone event in the manufacturing world. Hosted by the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the show brings together over 800 exhibitors and tens of thousands of attendees from around the world. It’s the premier destination to explore advancements in robotics, machine vision, AI, motion control, and industrial automation.
But more than just a showcase of new tech, Automate is about connection and collaboration. It’s where manufacturers, engineers, system integrators, and solution providers come together to solve real-world problems and explore what’s next. Through hands-on demos, panel discussions, expert-led sessions, and hundreds of live exhibits, the show fosters growth across every level of the industry.
At Innovative Automation, we’ve attended Automate for many years — not just as exhibitors, but as passionate contributors to the evolving landscape of automation. It’s a place where we connect with peers, listen to the needs of manufacturers, and gain valuable insights into how we can continue to push the boundaries of what automation can achieve.
What You’ll Find at Our Booth
This year, we’ll be exhibiting in Hall E, Booth #8500, where we’ll be showcasing RoboTape, our industry-leading robotic taping system. Purpose-built to handle demanding adhesive applications with speed and precision, RoboTape is helping manufacturers improve consistency, reduce cycle times, and eliminate ergonomic strain across production lines.
If you’ve been following our journey, you already know RoboTape is more than a product — it’s a proven solution that’s driving measurable impact for companies across automotive, transportation, and industrial sectors.
A Glimpse Into What’s Next
But that’s not all. This year’s exhibit will also offer a sneak peek at a new solution we’ve been quietly developing — designed to automate another critical step in the assembly process. Automate attendees will be the first to see it in action, marking yet another step forward in our mission to simplify complex manufacturing challenges with smart, scalable automation.
This addition to our growing portfolio reflects our continued focus on listening to the needs of industry and creating purposeful, reliable solutions that solve real production pain points.
Why Automate 2025 Matters
Events like Automate are vital to the health and future of advanced manufacturing. As the industry faces increasing pressures — from labor shortages to quality demands to the global push for smarter, more sustainable production — innovation has never been more important.
Automate creates a space for companies to learn, experiment, and move forward. It’s an opportunity to discover new tools, form strategic partnerships, and explore how automation can create long-term resilience and growth.
For us at Innovative Automation, it’s also an opportunity to share what we’ve been working on, to learn from others, and to grow alongside the industry we’re so passionate about.
