Automation Media Coverage Portal
Background
As media coverage of Automation probably no longer will be a once-in-a-month occurrence, I took the initiative to create a hub for all media coverage that is yet to come: all linked here and thus easy to find! If you discover media coverage that has not been linked here yet, post it in this thread and it will be added to this post by the moderators.
If you post a link to an article here, you can help me out by directly using the following format:
