In order to protect customers and employees, the automation company Pilz has decided not to have a stand at the SPS Smart Production Solutions trade fair in Nuremberg. The automation company is thus following the recommendation of the Robert Koch Institute not to participate in major indoor events due to the worsening coronavirus pandemic. Instead, the company is inviting visitors to take advantage of the digital trade fair offerings.<\/strong><\/p>

It should be an almost normal trade fair again<\/a> - without a mask. With the Pilz GmbH<\/a> However, the first major exhibitor has now cancelled its physical participation in the upcoming SPS in view of the dramatic rise in infection figures nationwide. \"The rising number of infections in recent days left us no choice.<\/strong> It is with a very heavy heart that we have now decided not to exhibit at the exhibition centre in Nuremberg,\" explains Susanne Kunschert, Managing Partner. This also affects Pilz's participation in the supporting and congress programme at the exhibition centre.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"A trade fair lives to a large extent from personal interaction and dialogue. However, the health of visitors, exhibitors and all other people who work on the exhibition grounds is paramount. It is obvious that we all need to adjust our behaviour to break this corona wave. One important measure is to reduce contact.<\/strong> We want to contribute to this by not physically participating in the trade fair.\" It remains to be seen whether other exhibitors will follow suit.<\/p>

Kunschert continues: \"It was right to conceptualise the trade fair as a hybrid event from the outset.<\/strong> This also provides trade fair visitors with digital options for finding out about the latest innovations from Pilz and the other exhibitors.\"<\/p>

In addition to the \"SPS on air\" digital offering at the trade fair, visitors can also visit the new digital showroom from Mushroom<\/a> available: Just in time for the start of the trade fair, interested parties can explore the world of automation from Pilz digitally and interactively.<\/strong><\/p>
