Whether you're a machine builder, systems integrator or manufacturing professional seeking industrial automation solutions, MachineBuilding.Live is the UK's only event of its kind.
It is a unique opportunity to meet face-to-face with the largest array of machine building, systems integration and industrial automation technical experts ever assembled in one place at one time in the UK. Discover the latest technologies and gain practical insights that can help improve productivity, reduce costs and keep UK manufacturing competitive.
This is a one-day-only event that is FREE TO ATTEND and uses a unique format to provide you with maximum information in the minimum time. Doors open at 9am – get here easily, enjoy free on-site parking, CPD-accredited technical workshops, practical IO Link training, and a free breakfast roll and brew if you arrive before 11:00!.
Modern machine building doesn’t happen in isolation, and it doesn’t follow a single annual cycle. New ideas emerge, specifications evolve, challenges appear, and priorities shift - often at pace, and often while projects are already underway.
Discover the latest innovations, compare hundreds of solutions side-by-side, speak with and learn directly from industry experts and find answers to real engineering challenges - all in one highly focused day.
Explore the latest machine building, systems integration and factory automation technologies, including new products, solutions and approaches and discuss their real-world applications face to face.
Connect with industry experts who understand how solutions are specified, integrated and deployed in real-world environments, and who can help you sense-check ideas, compare approaches and move projects forward.
We’ve removed every friction point. Enjoy free entry, free on-site parking, and a complimentary breakfast roll and brew on arrival so you can start your day fuelled and focused.
Hear directly from technical experts and industry specialists through a focused programme of workshops and live sessions, covering real-world applications, best practice and emerging developments that are relevant today.
With a compact, one-day format, free entry, free parking and easy access, the event is designed to respect your time. Get in, get round, get the answers you’re looking for, and get back to work with clarity and confidence.
Uncover dedicated Technology Trails, making it easy to navigate the show around key areas of interest including themes such as Machinery Safety and AI in Machine Building.
An outstanding series of free-to-attend presentations is one of the highlights of MachineBuilding.Live, enabling you to discover proven technologies, practical ideas and expert guidance that can be applied immediately, whether you’re designing new machinery, upgrading existing systems or planning your next automation project.
Gain practical, CPD-accredited insights from the engineers and specialists shaping the next generation of industrial automation.
Stay ahead of the curve with deep dives into the transition from the Machinery Directive to the new EU Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. Gain clarity on UKCA marking requirements and the emerging impact of the Cyber Resilience Act on connected machinery.
Explore the practical side of "Industry 4.0." Our sessions move beyond the hype to discuss real-world implementation of machine-centric robotics, cabinet-free automation, and how AI is being used today to optimise factory-floor performance.
Solve real-world communication snags with technical briefings on industrial networking, diagnostics, and the latest developments in IO-Link and PROFIBUS/PROFINET integration.
