A PLATFORM FOR TRANSFORMATIVE SOLUTIONS ON AUTOMATION & ROBOTICS FOR INDUSTRY

Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) is set to host the eighth edition of Symposium on Automation & Robotics, themed ‘Trends & Insights for Tomorrow: Shaping the Future’, on June 4-5, 2025, at Auto Cluster Exhibition Centre in Pune.

This pivotal event will serve as a platform for industry leaders to explore and implement transformative automation and robotics solutions, with a special emphasis on empowering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

The Symposium will feature both conference and exhibition besides fostering knowledge-sharing discussions and presentations on cutting-edge topics such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, industrial automation, and smart manufacturing techniques. Attendees will gain insights into the latest technological trends and collaborate on strategies to enhance manufacturing efficiency and productivity.

In addition to the insightful conference sessions, the event will showcase innovative solutions and readily adoptable, cutting-edge products. With over 1,500 visitors, including potential buyers and industry professionals, this Symposium will witness first-hand the latest advancements in automation and robotics.

“Modern factories rely on automation and robotics for activities that are repetitive in nature and hazardous,” said Mr Rajendra S Rajamane, President, IMTMA. “Digitalization is gaining traction for quicker decisions, remote maintenance, installation, and commissioning of machines, and online training of the workforce. This Symposium will give participants a clear understanding of such concepts, enabling them to leverage these technologies for enhanced productivity.”

Addressing the challenges faced by smaller enterprises, Mr Jibak Dasgupta, Director General & CEO, IMTMA, stated, “While larger companies are steadily moving towards fully automated production facilities, MSMEs find it challenging to implement automation and robotics due to various factors. Yet, adopting automation would help MSMEs bring out large volumes at a lower cost, benefiting OEMs. The upcoming Symposium will shed more light on attaining excellence using economic solutions, specifically tailored for MSMEs.”
