Industrial Transformation México at Expo Guadalajara: the floor where Hannover Messe's robotics demos meet Bajío plant buyers refreshing their production lines, two years out from the next capex cycle

Salón Principal of Expo Guadalajara on Av. Mariano Otero 1499, Col.

Live demos run throughout the day: welding robots, AGVs, machine-vision inspection lines.
