If there is one trade fair that is predestined for the topic of \u201eIndustry 4.0\u201c, then it is SPS IPC Drives. The 29th edition of the trade fair for smart and digital automation starts on Tuesday, 27 November 2018, at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre and ends on 29 November. The organising company Mesago is once again expecting more exhibitors this year. In order to do justice to the growing interest in the trade fair, the new Hall 3C has been integrated into SPS IPC Drives.<\/p>\n

Around 1,700 exhibiting companies are expected to present themselves from the 27 to 29 November 2018<\/strong> in the Nuremberg Trade Fair<\/strong> are expected by the organisers. This means that the number of exhibitors will once again increase slightly. Visitors - there were 70,264 last year - can now look forward to the 17 Halls<\/strong> about the offer.<\/p>\n

The SPS IPC Drives<\/strong> is using the claim \u201eSmart and digital automation<\/strong>\u201c. This emphasises the fact that the IT and automation sectors are growing ever closer together. Many stands will be focussing on industrial web services, digital business platforms, virtual product developments and cloud computing. \u201eThe claim underlines the convergence of automation and IT as well as the positive development of the trade fair in the course of industrial digitalisation towards holistic automation and Industry 4.0,\u201c says Christian Wolf, Chairman of the Exhibitor Advisory Board.<\/p>

Some key topics are given new places<\/h2>\n

The newly opened, new hall 3C<\/strong> in the south-west corner of the Nuremberg exhibition centre will be directly integrated into SPS IPC Drives. Sylke Schulz-Metzner, Head of Division at Mesago for SPS IPC Drives, emphasises that \u201ewith Hall 3C we can offer our exhibitors another modern, light-flooded hall and thus make the trade fair offer even more tangible\u201c.<\/p>\n

The additional hall leads to a Minimal change in hall utilisation<\/strong>. Some of the main themes will be given a new location. For example, some exhibitors from the \u201eMechanical Manufacturing\u201c theme area will now move from Hall 10.1 to the new Hall 3C near Hall 2, which is also dedicated to this theme.<\/p>
