The platform features four themed automation zones and two regional pavilions on the show floor, complemented by a fringe programme held across two seminar tracks. As Thailand's high-tech industries continue to grow, the exhibitions provide a concentrated sourcing opportunity for the electronics supply chain and for manufacturers seeking automation solutions across a broad range of industrial applications.
Themed zones and regional pavilions at Automation Thailand
Automation Thailand covers factory automation technologies, from industrial automation and robotics to inspection and measuring, digital factory systems, and warehouse and logistics automation, with participation spanning manufacturers, OEM/ODM/EMS companies, distributors and service providers. These technologies are presented across four themed zones on the show floor: the Industrial Automation Zone, the Sensor, Inspection, Machine Vision Zone, the AI in Action / Automation Zone, and the Automation Warehouse & Logistic Zone.
Joining a wide range of domestic automation providers, the exhibition floor will feature two regional pavilions showcasing international expertise in the sector. The Taiwan Pavilion presents Taiwanese capabilities in electronics-related automation and robotics, while the Zhejiang Pavilion showcases industrial machinery and smart manufacturing solutions from one of China's largest clusters for mechanical parts and electrical equipment. These pavilions are complemented by further international representation from Austria, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand.
Exhibitors at the show include robotics and motion providers DEEP Robotics, Smart Motion Control and Weldex, with Auer Signal, MRDVS Technology and Wieland Electric Singapore covering signalling and sensor technologies. Software and measurement expertise is represented by Data Systems, Xian Jin Trading, TJ Solutions and FINERN, while the lineup also features industrial component and tooling specialists such as Thai Murata, Factory Max, Hunson Enterprise, Everbiz Industrial and Molding Innovation Technology.
Fabrication, assembly and testing technologies at PCB Thailand
PCB Thailand serves the technical requirements of Southeast Asia’s foundational electronics sector, covering the full production chain of fabrication, assembly, and testing. The exhibition showcases the advanced equipment and chemical processes necessary to meet the rigorous reliability standards of the data centre, automotive, and consumer electronics markets.
Exhibitor highlights in the PCB equipment sector include plasma treatment specialists Nano Electronics and Micro System Technologies, joined by direct imaging and lithography experts Jiangsu Ysphotech and Screen GP Thailand. The surface finishing and plating category features representation from Atotech Thailand, Qnity, Pata Chemicals and Machinery and Schlötter Asia, while Taiwan Grace International and Long Long Clean Room Technology are among those presenting filtration and cleanroom solutions.
Strategic leadership and technical insights
Beyond the exhibition floor, the platform’s concurrent fringe programme will address the sector's industrial transition through two key seminar tracks: SPS Stage Bangkok and the PCB Seminar.
Now in its second year, SPS Stage Bangkok extends the expertise of the global Smart Production Solutions (SPS) network to the region, and for 2026, will feature a programme of eight expert-led sessions. Among these, a headline panel discussion will examine the competitive positioning of the Thai manufacturing sector amid global economic shifts and the disruption of traditional core industries by emerging technologies. The session brings together leadership from the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), the Board of Investment of Thailand (BOI), NECTEC, and McKinsey & Company to discuss a roadmap for the sector's recovery and future growth.
