At this year’s ‘all about automation’ (aaa) trade fair in Chemnitz from 18–19 September 2024, PAL once again showcased its products with exciting demonstrations. A particular highlight was a robotic arm fitted with a suction gripper, which was controlled by a controller. This time, gamers in particular were invited to prove their skills in operating the robot.

Another highlight at the stand was the welding demonstrators, which visitors could view at the stand. These were created using a welding robot and provided an insight into modern automation solutions in the field of welding technology.

In total, over 2,000 visitors were able to discuss robotics and digitalisation solutions at the 200 exhibitor stands at the trade fair. In addition to visitors’ interest in innovative solutions and technical demonstrations, another key focus for visitors was finding out about the opportunities offered by technical degree programmes and Degree Apprenticeship/Dual Study Programs – from both a student’s and a business perspective. This highlights just how crucial practical experience and technical skills are for success in the sector. This valuable information helped to raise awareness of the importance of a sound and practical education in a rapidly evolving field of technology.

The next ‘All About Automation’, taking place from 30 September to 1 October 2025 in Chemnitz, therefore promises not only fascinating technical insights, but also a continuation of these important dialogues between educational institutions and industry.
