Exhibition Introduction:

The German Industrial Automation and Components Exhibition SPS IPC DRIVES is held by the German Mesago Exhibition Group. It has been held annually since 1990 and has been successfully held for 33 sessions so far. The exhibition covers drive systems and components, mechatronics components and peripherals, sensor technology, control technology, industrial control computers, IPCs, industrial software, interactive technology, low-voltage switchgear, human-machine interaction devices, industrial communications and other industrial technology fields. According to the statistics of the organizers, the 2023 German Industrial Automation Exhibition, as a global electronic automation exhibition, covers 16 exhibition halls with a total exhibition area of 120,000 square meters. A total of more than 1,200 international brand companies from 44 countries and regions including Italy, China, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom gathered to display control systems, drive systems and motion control, connection technology, human-machine interface devices, sensor technology, software and IT, mechanical infrastructure and industrial communications and other automation fields. New products, technologies and solutions. According to the survey statistics of the organizers on the audience of the German Industrial Automation Exhibition, 98% plan to introduce it to their customers and friends, 95% of the audience said they will continue to visit the exhibition, 95% of the audience said the exhibition effect is very good, and 79% of the audience have confirmed their intention to purchase. It has now become an important exhibition for professional manufacturers to explore the European market, especially the German market, to obtain professional information, understand the current international market trends, master new technologies and sign order contracts.

The 2023 German Nuremberg Automation Show SPS was held at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center from November 14 to 16, and once again impressed all participants. After two postponements due to the epidemic, this year's exhibition is not only about products and solutions, but also about human-machine interaction. The digital platform "SPS on air" is linked to the physical exhibition.

On the morning of the first day of the exhibition, professional visitors from all over the world flocked to the Nuremberg Exhibition Center to learn about the products from about 1,200 exhibitors on the 120,000 square meters of exhibition area, and the participants had lively discussions. In three days, the Nuremberg Automation Show attracted nearly 44,000 visitors. "Everyone clearly felt the joy of the return of the exhibition. The talks were open and the atmosphere in the exhibition hall was very special. We are very happy to re-engage with the automation industry with the return of SPS. SPS provides a springboard for many future automation projects." Martin Roschkowski, President of the organizer Frankfurt Mesago Exhibition Company, explained.
