…– ProMat 2023 was a big hit, according to MHI, which organized the biennial event. With 1,054 exhibitors, about 300 of which were robotics suppliers, even Robotics 24/7 was hard-pressed to see it all. Companies at booths and in sessions reported strong attendance, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday of the four-day event. MHI tallied a total of about 50,000 visitors to McCormick Place. There may have been fewer ground-breaking innovations at this year’s ProMat, and the mood was subdued in comparison to MODEX 2022, the first big trade show after the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
