For cost reasons, finding automated solutions has long since become a priority for manufacturing companies in Switzerland. Robotics and Factory Automation is thus highly relevant to the entire industry. The Robotics and Factory Automation Industry sector brings together companies covering the full spectrum of industrial automation solutions. Their products are helping to maintain the global competitiveness of Swiss industrial companies.

Suppliers of factory automation solutions often provide system solutions which work efficiently and offer a high level of availability. They supply applications for various sectors – from the watch industry to producers of everyday necessities and components for downstream industries. In doing so, they employ the latest technologies for product feeding, handling, robotics and control systems.
