展会报告(Show Reports):
Across 16 exhibition halls covering a total area of 125,000 sqm, visitors to the SPS 2024 were introduced to an exciting range of innovative products. With 1,114 exhibitors and around 51,300 visitors, this year’s exhibition was again a complete success. “Certainly, in view of the current challenging economic situation in the industry, this increase in visitor numbers compared to the previous year is a strong and important signal for the automation sector,” sums up Martin Roschkowski, President Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH.
Indeed, the exhibition floor was buzzing with attendees’ in-depth discussions of new products, market launches and glimpses into the future of industry automation and digitalization:
Steffen Winkler, CSO of the Automation Business Unit at Bosch Rexroth AG and Chairman of the SPS Exhibitor Advisory Board commented: “The SPS is the flagship event for the automation industry. Visitors are brought face-to-face with the latest technologies and industry experts, allowing them to establish valuable contacts and build on existing relationships. Even in difficult economic times, the SPS remains an important platform for innovation and discussion. Together, we are shaping the future.”
Throughout the three days of the event, visitors also enjoyed a series of expert presentations on topics such as AI in automation or digital transformation. “For us, the stand-out trend at the SPS was artificial intelligence. We are confident that this technology will significantly boost productivity in the coming years and even decades,” commented Dr. Axel Zein, Managing Director, WSCAD GmbH. The four forums provided an opportunity for participants to immerse themselves in the subject matter and interact directly with the experts. Following the event, selected expert presentations and panel discussions are still available on demand on the “SPS on air” online platform.
The long-established shared booth “Automation meets IT” in Hall 6 again proved popular with the visitors. At the booth, 17 exhibitors provided insights into IT management solutions and security measures for manufacturing, cloud and edge-based solutions as well as IoT and AI-based solutions. In Hall 8, the “young INNOVATORS” shared booth and Start-up Area offered new and unique insights into the latest products, processes and services in smart and digital automation. In the immediately adjacent forum, attendees also had an opportunity to hear pitches from newcomers.
Both the Makeathon, which spanned all days of the exhibition, and the Young Talents Day, which took place on the final day, proved extremely popular. “There was high exhibitor interest and places were filled very quickly. In times of shortages of skilled workers and young talent, it confirms to us that we are taking the right approach,” sums up Sylke Schulz-Metzner, Vice President of the SPS. At the Makeathon, engineering students were able to apply what they had learned, demonstrate their creativity and tinker with real projects. The guided tours which took place on the last day of the fair took the young talents to six exhibitors each, giving them valuable insights into the latest trends and technologies directly from the experts plus an opportunity to connect with industry professionals. In addition, two job boards in Halls 8 and 10, offering access to the SPS CareerDrive online career platform, highlighted current job vacancies in automation, not only for young talents but for any interested parties.
A detailed exhibition analysis including further results from SPS 2024 will be available in early 2025. Next year’s exhibition will be held in Nuremberg on 25-27 November 2025, thus returning to the final week in November as in previous years.
