Africa Automation Fair aims to be the largest, most comprehensive showcase of industrial automation, control and information technologies of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, drawing a record number of local and international exhibitors and visitors. The scope of Africa Automation Fair has evolved with the inclusion of the industrial internet of things (IIoT), an exciting outcome of the digital revolution that is changing the way we live and work. Many organisations already focus on how to benefit from it, but extracting maximum value requires a big data approach. AAF will be the platform where industrial automation and this digital revolution converge and where operations technology and information technology blend together to become more intelligent. The IoT event is a world-class event that brought together key industries from across Central Europe for two days of top level content and discussion. Industries included Manufacturing, Transport, Health, Logistics, Government, Energy and Automotive, introducing and exploring the latest innovations within the Internet of Things. Co-located with Connected Industries.
