So what is stage automation?

Stage automation is the appliance of imagination, technology and effort to move stage machinery by electronic motion control systems.

A modern stage show, whether it be theatre, concert, dark ride or trade show requires expert lighting, sound and increasingly nowadays - motion control. Scenic elements have to be moved reliably at the correct speed to the correct position smoothly, quietly, show after show. An automation system is, therefore, a must for any modern venue or production that has to fulfill the demanding expectations of today's audiences.

A motion control system can also bring other benefits. Shows that are required to run identically each performance such as West End musicals, opera, repertory or rock 'n' roll benefit from reduced running costs. Safety integrity is increased because a single operator is in control of all moving elements and problems due to "communication breakdown" are minimised. AVW specialise in stage automation. We do not do anything else. We have designed and manufactured many installations around the world to make live entertainment truly moving.
