About this event

Factory Automation Expo & Process Automation Expo (Factory Automation Expo)

Factory Automation Expo is positioned as India’s major international platform for industrial automation, robotics, and smart manufacturing. The event centers on factory automation and connected production technologies—covering robotics, IIoT, AI, and Industry 4.0—along with the practical manufacturing innovations that help improve efficiency and transform production processes.

Event Essentials

• Dates: 27–29 November 2026
• Venue: PIECC, Moshi
• City & Country: Pune, India
• Official positioning: International Show for Factory Automation, Robotics & Manufacturing
• Exhibitor presence: 100+ exhibitors and industry leaders are highlighted on the official site

1) Who attends (BUYERS / ATTENDEES)

Factory Automation Expo is an audience-mixed industrial event rather than a consumer-focused trade gathering. Based on the themes and the kind of technologies showcased (robotics, IIoT, AI, smart factory/Industry 4.0), the most relevant attendee set typically includes decision-makers and practitioners from manufacturing and automation ecosystems. On the official page, the event speaks to “industry leaders” and highlights access to seminars, workshops, and presentations—indicating that attendees go beyond casual visitors and come to evaluate solutions and exchange operational knowledge.

For attendee targeting, the strongest “buyer-like” segments are normally found among:

• Manufacturing and plant leadership teams focused on automation and modernization
• Operations and engineering decision-makers involved in production upgrades
• Industrial technology teams working on PLC/controls, digital applications, IIoT integration, and smart factory initiatives
• Procurement, engineering excellence, EHS, maintenance, and operational excellence functions that influence vendor selection
• Industry leaders and solution providers represented through exhibitor organizations and speakers

Note: specific attendee counts by role (for example, exact number of buyers vs. technical visitors) are not provided on the excerpted official content we were given, so we keep this section anchored to what the event page reliably states: “industry leaders,” “100+ exhibitors,” and a program of talks/workshops for industrial stakeholders.

2) Where the show is happening + attendee geographic origin

The expo is scheduled at PIECC, Moshi in Pune, India. The official site also frames Pune as a major industrial and manufacturing hub—calling out industrial infrastructure, automotive manufacturing density, engineering strength, and expanding electronics/electrical manufacturing—suggesting strong regional relevance for companies operating in and around Pune and Maharashtra.

Regarding attendee geographic origin (local vs. national vs. international), the provided content does not list exact attendee breakdown by country or state. What we can reliably infer from the official positioning as an “international show” is that the event attracts participants with an international orientation, while the industrial gravity of Pune strongly supports a large base from across India’s manufacturing belt.

3) Audience reach (Local / National / Global)

Based on the official description, Factory Automation Expo is an international show for industrial automation, robotics, and manufacturing. That indicates global visibility at the exhibitor and industry-leader level, while the core draw is tied to Pune’s prominence as an industrial and engineering hub in India.

Since the excerpt does not provide explicit reach metrics (for example, percentage of attendees by geography), we summarize reach using the official framing: National-first with international participation through industry leaders and exhibitors.

4) Sample buyer company names (BUYERS ONLY) + Websites

The provided official content includes multiple speaker names and titles, but it does not list the speaker employers as structured company entries. Therefore, we cannot reliably extract “buyer company names + websites” directly from the excerpt without risking inaccuracies. If we receive your client’s requirements and the client’s website, we can then map buyer-fit organizations more precisely to the right roles and automation decision-makers.

For now: this section remains incomplete due to the lack of verifiable buyer-company fields in the supplied official content.

5) Job profiles, industries & event type

The official page emphasizes industrial automation and smart manufacturing technologies—particularly robotics, IIoT, AI, and Industry 4.0. The content also references seminars, workshops, and presentations, indicating an event format designed for both knowledge transfer and solution evaluation.

6) Estimated attendance (expected total footfall)

The provided excerpt does not include an attendance estimate or footfall figure. To avoid unsupported claims, we leave this as unavailable based on the provided content.

7) Key focus areas & buyer engagement

The official site makes it clear that the expo’s core promise is to help participants: discover innovation, stay informed through sessions, and network with industry stakeholders. From the themes listed, we can translate the likely buyer priorities into practical engagement opportunities.

Key focus areas

• Robotics for manufacturing and operational efficiency
• IIoT integration for connected factories
• AI-enabled manufacturing and smart decisioning (as described)
• Industry 4.0 technologies and smart factory modernization
• Automation that transforms production processes (as described)
• Seminars, workshops, and presentations aligned to emerging trends and best practices

How buyers engage (what the event format supports)

• Solution discovery: evaluate vendors offering robotics, controls, IIoT, and smart manufacturing
• Knowledge validation: attend technical talks and workshops to assess feasibility and implementation pathways
• Operational alignment: engage cross-functional leadership (engineering, maintenance, EHS, procurement, operational excellence)
• Networking with industry leaders: connect with exhibitors and peer organizations planning factory upgrades

8) Client-product fit note (We need your client website to identify the best buyer-fit accounts)

We can recommend the best buyers and the most relevant buyer-attendee segments only after reviewing your client’s product fit. Please share the client website URL (and, if available, 2–3 key product use cases such as robotics integration, IIoT dashboards, PLC/controls, packaging/process automation, predictive maintenance, MES/SCADA, vision systems, sensors, or system integration).

Once we have that, we will map buyers attending this expo into the best-fit shortlist by aligning: automation theme (robotics/IIoT/AI/Industry 4.0), decision-maker roles (procurement, engineering excellence, digital applications, maintenance, operational excellence), and industry context (Pune’s automotive and industrial manufacturing base).

Important: the supplied official excerpt does not name buyer-companies in a structured way, and we therefore do not finalize buyer account names here. We will produce an accurate buyer shortlist after we review your client website and confirm the strongest event-aligned buying profiles.

9) Suggested industries (aligned to the Industry filter list you provided)

Using your industry filter list (Apollo-style categories), Factory Automation Expo aligns best to the following industries:

• Industrial Automation
• Mechanical or Industrial Engineering
• Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing
• Information Technology & Services
• Computer & Network Security (only when applicable to industrial cybersecurity/secure connectivity)
• Computer Software (for IIoT/analytics platforms, digital manufacturing software, and integrations)
• Logistics & Supply Chain (when automation extends to warehousing, logistics processes, or end-to-end operations)
• Automotive (Pune’s auto-manufacturing concentration makes this especially relevant)
• Machinery (for factory equipment, automation hardware, robotics systems)
