The Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) will be hosting the 8th edition of Symposium on Automation and Robotics 2025 from June 4-5, 2025 at the Auto Cluster Exhibition Centre, Pune.

Smart Manufacturing is envisioned as the future of manufacturing. It integrates human ingenuity coupled with data and technology to revolutionise the development and application of manufacturing intelligence to all aspects of the business. ‘Automation' is the key element in Smart Manufacturing technology adoption process, to enhance productivity and reliability, improve quality, reduce costs and effectively manage the complexities of varying business cycles. While elements of automation systems are continuously evolving with increasing capabilities, the system integrators and users of automation need to update themselves on skillful adoption of various technologies, for the successful development of automation solutions.

To address and understand the real-time benefits and applications of automation in smart manufacturing, IMTMA organises the Symposium on Automation & Robotics every year. The symposium focuses on automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, control solutions, and so on and brings together the manufacturing fraternity on a common platform to discuss related issues. The symposium will feature dynamic exhibition, inspiring keynote speakers, interactive panel discussions, live technology presentations,and exceptional networking opportunities.
