The SPS IPC Drives event takes place in Nuremberg, Germany from November 28-30. It is Europe’s leading exhibition for electric automation.
Visitors will be able to meet suppliers of electric automation technology from around the world. The trade fair provides the perfect platform to search the right solutions for a variety of automation tasks.
The topic of Industry 4.0 is developing from a vision to reality and will once again be a main focus of the exhibition.
In the age of digital transformation, IT and automation are increasingly merging and this will be reflected at this year's event as never before.
