On April 14, the global trade associations of the robotics, machine vision, and motion control industries will converge into the new Association for Advancing Automation (A3).

A3 will combine 40+ years of leadership and relationships from the Robotic Industries Association (RIA), AIA – Advancing Vision + Imaging, and Motion Control & Motor Association (MCMA) to become the leading automation trade association in the world. You will belong to the strong, forward-moving community of more than 1,100 member companies representing billions of dollars in economic activity, millions of employees, and driving the renewal and transformation of the global economy.
