The PPMA Show is the UK's largest processing and packaging machinery exhibition, and is returning to Birmingham between 24–26 September to allow industry members to discover the latest innovations in the field.
Annually, companies froma cross the globe come together to display their technologies and solutions in processing and packaging machinery, robotics and industrial vision systems.
This year's show takes place in Hall 5 at the NEC.
Solutions across the processing industry
The show is a fantastic platform to showcase this rapidly growing industry, with over 300 businesses displaying their latest products, services and technologies to the thousands of visitors expected to attend in September.
They will be able to discover solutions in production, manufacturing and packaging; covering the ful spectrum of the process industries — including pharmaceuticals.
The show is organised by Automate UK — which comprises the Processing and Packaging Machinery Association (PPMA), British Automation and Robot Association (BARA) and UK Industrial Vision Association (UKIVA). These three specialist trade associations serve over 550 member and affiliate member companies.
Catered to decision makers
The PPMA Show is designed specifically for those with significant influence in their companies — including CEOs, MDs, Directors, Managers and other key staff members who play vital roles within their companies; including engineers, production specialists, designers, buyers, processing specialists and project managers.
This year's three-day exhibition will feature:
- Live demonstrations of new machinery in action
- Business solutions to streamline processes, improve efficiency and boost productivity
- A full programme of seminars on the latest trends and innovations
- Experience the complete production line in action from start to finish, from labelling, filling
and packaging to processing, robotics, automation and industrial vision systems. - The ‘smart show’
The PPMA Show in September will be the ‘smart show’ that enables exhibitors and visitors to exchange information via their smart phones. Visitors can scan the QR code on the exhibitors’ stand to access more information about them, such as product and service brochures, catalogues and videos.
Scanning the code also automatically triggers an exchange of contact details meaning visitors and exhibitors can get in touch with each other after the show.
Automate UK will soon be launching an app for the show which will streamline the visitors show experience.
