Despite the tense economic situation, the automation industry is robust and looking to the future: “Its ability to outperform the predicted number of exhibitors clearly shows how important the SPS is as a central platform for the industry. Visitors will not only find a comprehensive range of smart and digital automation, but also numerous new solutions and technologies that address current challenges," explains Sylke Schulz-Metzner, Vice President SPS.
Focus on industrial AI
The central focus topic of this year’s trade fair is industrial AI. Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a key to efficiency and innovation in industrial production. This will be evident not only at exhibitors' booths, but in the extended lecture program, as well: All the SPS stages will feature specialist lectures, panel discussions, and presentations to provide visitors with in-depth information and practical knowledge on industrial AI and other current subjects.
Special highlights await visitors on the Technology Stage powered by VDMA/ZVEI in Hall 3: From 10:40 am to 2:10 pm on the second day of the trade fair, an entire thematic block on industrial AI is on the agenda. It will include:
- A keynote speech by Prof. Martin Ruskowski, chairman of the Technology Initiative SmartFactory KL e.V., on the role of AI in production and IT-OT convergence,
- A panel discussion entitled "Artificial Intelligence – Challenges, Opportunities, and Use Cases in Industrial Services" with representatives from Eaton Electric GmbH, Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co. KG, Siemens AG, and Endress+Hauser SE+Co. KG.
