On 14-16 November, our colleagues Jules Oudmans and Nicolas Spiegl had two great days at SPS – Smart Production Solutions in Nuremberg. For people who are passionate about IoT, Industry 4.0 and digitalization, SPS is a bit like a toy store for kits before Christmas.
Here is our summary from the fair:
- Had a lot of great discussions about valve health diagnostics at the Hilscher booth with the Digital Valve Kit – a joint project of AS-Schneider, UReason and Hilscher. Conclusion: IoT valve diagnostics are a must for the future!
- Meeting face-to-face with members and partners at the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance booth. Conclusion: We will not succeed without open standards and collaboration.
- Discussions about the latest hardware and sensor developments for valve position and health analysis at ifm, Pepperl+Fuchs and Bürkert
- Enjoyed a live demo at WAGO to see the patented and highly pragmatic way to deploy apps from the Cloud App Store to edge devices.
- And at least 20 other in-depth discussions about emerging technologies and solutions.
Special thanks to Uwe Schnepf, Oliver Heidl, Thomas Schramm from Hilscher, and Thomas Weisschuh from AS Schneider for having us at the booth. We look forward to many more successful trade fairs with great partners!
