Automation & Material Flow Booth Planning for The Clean Show
How should an automation system be shown at The Clean Show?
Do not try to reproduce the entire plant inside the booth. Select the workflow stages buyers must understand, make the most useful nodes physical, represent the remaining process through screens, interfaces or graphics, and arrange the visit so the buyer understands the system before moving into configuration or integration questions.
Automation and material-flow exhibitors solve a different problem from a single-machine display: the real system may stretch across an entire laundry operation while the booth has only a limited footprint. The broader The Clean Show booth planning hub explains where this system-focused scenario fits within the overall exhibit strategy.
A 20x20 booth can sometimes explain a system far larger than the exhibit itself when only the most representative process nodes are built and the remaining workflow is carried through screens, diagrams, or interfaces. A 20x30 or larger footprint becomes more useful when several physical stages or a larger integration-discussion area need to coexist.
At the Las Vegas Convention Center, RFID readers, tracking interfaces, sorting-control screens, sensors, and physical demo components should be treated as one connected demonstration. Power, data, and system-story readiness need to be checked together rather than one device at a time.

Booth Project Proof
The real system footprint should not determine the exhibit footprint. Space is needed only for the representative nodes, information sequence, interaction points and conversations that buyers actually experience.
A 10x20 booth can support a focused software, RFID or process story when most of the system is represented digitally and physical hardware is limited.
A 20x30 booth gives more room when several physical workflow stages, interactive screens and a separate integration discussion need to operate together.
A 20x20 booth can combine one or two physical process nodes with screens, workflow graphics and a defined technical discussion point.
A 30x40 booth can support a more complete physical process sequence, wider circulation and several technical conversations without losing the end-to-end story.
Automation and material-flow exhibits often require careful coordination between system requirements, demonstrations, and visitor understanding. Before creating the booth experience, exhibitors need to know which decisions are part of the event framework and which depend on their own exhibit goals.
The Exhibitor Package Plan helps establish that planning boundary before moving into a more detailed system-focused exhibit approach.
Every physical component, screen and graphic should help the buyer understand where they are in the workflow and what the next process step means.
Give buyers a clear picture of the system from input to output before asking them to understand individual technologies.
Each physical node should visibly correspond to a step in the screen, diagram or software story instead of appearing as an isolated product.
Screens should advance the process explanation in a deliberate order rather than loop unrelated product videos, dashboards or feature slides.
The walkthrough should finish where staff can discuss plant configuration, compatibility, throughput or integration requirements with the buyer.
This page focuses on automation and material-flow exhibitors whose real systems extend far beyond the physical footprint of a trade show booth.
The Clean Show runs July 15–18, 2027 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Clean Show product categories include conveyors, sorting, storage, distribution, ERP, production control, RFID, tracking and related systems.
Not Sure Which Booth Size You Need?
Not every exhibitor knows whether a 10x20, 20x20, 20x30, or larger booth is the right fit. Circle Exhibit can help review your event goals, product display needs, demo areas, meeting space, storage, budget scope, and setup timeline before you choose a booth size.

Rental for Screen-Led Workflow Stories
A Las Vegas trade show booth rental can work well when screens, graphics, interfaces and a small number of physical demo nodes explain most of the system.
Custom Build for Physical Multi-Node Systems
Custom fabrication becomes more relevant when conveyors, sorting components or several connected physical stations define the visitor path and the structure around it.
Modular Exhibit with Custom Demo Fixtures
A reusable modular exhibit can carry custom RFID stations, process fixtures or other workflow-specific demo elements without making the full structure custom.
List the RFID readers, tracking interfaces, sorting-control screens, sensors, computers and physical demo devices that must work together before show-site service needs are finalized.
A physical sorting, tracking or material-flow node should match the screen or interface explaining that same process step.
Connected demonstrations should still have a usable explanation path if live data, network access or one interactive component becomes temporarily unavailable.
The exhibit is ready only when a visitor can move from system overview to representative process nodes and then into an integration discussion without losing the textile-care workflow.
Modular Rentals for Automation Demonstrations
A rental exhibit is a strong fit when the system story is carried by screens, interfaces, workflow graphics and a few representative demo nodes. The booth structure can stay modular while the automation content remains specific to the process being explained.
How much of an automation workflow should be physically displayed?
Only the stages buyers need to see physically in order to understand or trust the system. Other stages can often be represented more clearly with screens, interfaces or process graphics.
Can a 20x20 booth explain a much larger automation system?
When should screens replace physical equipment?
How should visitors move through a multi-stage workflow demo?

Return to the parent hub for overall Clean Show strategy, buyer tasks and decisions that extend beyond the automation scenario.
Use this path when the automation system also includes machinery that will run on the show floor and requires dedicated clearance, utilities or buyer-viewing space.
Use the venue page for broader LVCC execution context beyond the screen, system and workflow-readiness issues covered here.
Relevant when physical nodes, screens, interfaces and visitor sequence need to become one buildable system-demonstration layout.
A modular rental exhibit can be practical when the complexity sits mainly in the workflow, content and demo nodes rather than the physical booth structure.
