Smart Automation reaches professional installers, systems integrators and decision-makers involved in specifying, installing, integrating and maintaining intelligent automation technologies across commercial, industrial and public-sector environments.
Published by MEB Media Publishing Ltd, Smart Automation focuses on practical, accessible and scalable technologies that help organisations make existing buildings, facilities and operations smarter, more connected and more efficient.
Our readership includes professional installers, systems integrators, consultants, contractors, specifiers, manufacturers, distributors and end users working across Europe's rapidly developing automation sector.
A key focus is the growing market for SME automation and modernisation. From upgrading existing buildings to helping small and medium-sized manufacturers automate established operations, Smart Automation covers technologies and solutions that can be deployed directly by professional installers and integrators or delivered alongside specialist technology partners.
Reach
Smart Automation reaches more than 28,000 opted-in subscribers. Our annual readership includes more than 2 million website hits and 531,000 unique hits, providing substantial additional reach across the automation and smart technology sectors.
Publication schedule
Smart Automation is published four times per year in March, June, September and December. Each issue is distributed in both print and digital formats, supported by regular website updates and targeted email newsletters.
Editorial
Our editorial follows the rapidly expanding role of the professional installer and systems integrator.
As customers demand smarter buildings, more efficient facilities and increasingly automated operations, installers are extending the technologies and services they provide. Smart Automation covers the products, technologies, applications and expertise that enable them to identify and deliver these opportunities.
Coverage includes practical automation, retrofit and integration solutions that improve efficiency, productivity, sustainability, connectivity, security and operational performance.
Rather than concentrating on highly specialised, large-scale industrial plant automation, our industrial coverage focuses particularly on accessible and scalable solutions for SMEs and existing manufacturing operations.
