Show-in-Show Draws Visitors from Diverse Industry Sectors
Launched 24 years ago, Automation World reinvented itself in recent years by incorporating “show-in-show” pavilions dedicated to cutting-edge factory technology. Automation World is the umbrella show, comprised of both aimex and the Korea Vision Show and recruiting buyers from a range of industry sectors and environments. In line with the impressive development of Korea’s machine vision market, Automation World launched “the Korea Vision Show” in 2012 as a brand new component to the event. In the 2013 edition, Packaging World was introduced to the line-up as a co-located show, allowing visitors to experience the entire automation process from manufacturing to packaging. Automation World aims to continually spearhead industry development and to showcase the very best in diverse, emerging technology.
