An Open Standard for Automation

Technical theatre equipment isn't compatible across suppliers. To make the equipment suitable, adaptions and modifications must be undertaken by the specific product manufacturer.

It is the only branch of technical theatre where this is the case. This is limiting the spread of automation into mainstream theatre and is stagnating growth.

In this session, we look at the challenges of unlocking this, both in terms of safety and project delivery. Plus, we look at how the current system could adapt a more open approach and what advantages this could bring to the industry.

XM Automation is working to promote this open systems idea. We look at the progress made to date and the challenges that remain along the path to a seismic change within the industry.
