Taonga Banda, data and AI cloud solution architect at Microsoft, will reveal the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on manufacturing at Robotics and Automation 2025.
The exhibition takes place on 25-26 March at the NEC Birmingham and will be co-located with the 10th annual IntraLogisteX and the second-ever Sustainable Supply Chain Exhibition.
Passionate about social and environmental impact, Banda founded Good In Humanity, a charity focused on education and women’s empowerment in Zambia.
She is also an associate member of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers and the Chartered Management Institute, with certifications in accessibility, computer literacy and Azure.
At the exhibition, Banda will discuss how AI-driven automation and predictive maintenance reduces downtime and optimises production processes, before giving real-world examples of AI applications in manufacturing.
She will also talk about how AI technologies such as computer vision and machine learning are used for real-time quality control and defect detection.
Attendees to the wider conference will also learn about the tangible benefits of automation and decarbonisation, along with guidance on where to start and the support available to help implement these changes.
The Robotics and Automation Exhibition Conference theatre will feature a diverse line-up of expert speakers representing key sectors including manufacturing, engineering, transport, logistics and supply chain.
Attendees will gain unique insights from industry leaders, innovators, and practitioners at the forefront of automation and robotics technology.
Topics on this year’s agenda include advancements in collaborative robotics and robotics-as-a-service (RaaS), as well as sessions that explore the impact of robotics on sustainability and the role of robotics in enhancing workplace safety.
The conference aims to provide a comprehensive platform for presenting both current trends and future possibilities in robotics and automation, making it an essential event for professionals looking to stay ahead in this rapidly evolving field.
In total, more than 11,000 attendees are expected to attend this year’s three co-located exhibitions, representing a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, logistics, retail, e-commerce, automotive, aerospace, and technology, as well as key decision-makers from across supply chain, operations, and engineering sectors.
Join more than 11,000 industry leaders at Robotics and Automation Exhibition on 25-26 March 2025, at the NEC Birmingham to explore cutting-edge technologies, connect with peers and discover the latest innovations shaping the future of manufacturing, engineering and logistics.
