Aurora and Chillbot Expand Presence

at Retail Show Australia 2026 as Platinum Sponsor

Retail Show Australia 2026 is pleased to welcome the expanded presence of Aurora Vending Machine Services, now joined by Chillbot as part of the same business’s growing footprint across the show.

With this expansion, the company will officially participate as a Platinum Sponsor, showcasing its capabilities across both retail automation and cold chain solutions—two of the most rapidly evolving areas in the retail industry.

Aurora will be located at Booth 270 in the AI for Retail Zone, where it will present smart vending and automated retail technologies designed to enhance operational efficiency, enable unmanned retail formats, and improve customer convenience. As retailers continue to explore automation and self-service models, solutions like these are becoming increasingly relevant across convenience, hospitality and high-traffic environments.

At the same time, Chillbot will exhibit at Booth 370 in the Cold Chain Zone, focusing on temperature-controlled systems that support fresh retail, food distribution and last-mile delivery. As demand for fresh, ready-to-consume products continues to grow, reliable cold chain infrastructure is playing a critical role in ensuring product quality and supply chain efficiency.

Together, Aurora and Chillbot represent a single business operating across two complementary sectors—automation and cold chain—offering a more integrated approach to modern retail operations. Their presence across multiple zones reflects a broader industry trend towards connected retail ecosystems, where technology, logistics and customer experience are increasingly interlinked.

Retail Show Australia 2026 will bring together leading retailers, brands and solution providers to explore how innovations across areas such as AI, automation and cold chain are shaping the future of retail. The expanded participation of Aurora and Chillbot highlights the growing importance of these technologies in driving efficiency, scalability and new retail formats.

Visitors can meet Aurora and Chillbot at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) from 22–24 September 2026, and discover how their solutions are supporting the next generation of retail transformation.
