Two more halls occupied than in 2022
Nuremberg SPS 2023 has 16 halls full
Around 1,300 exhibitors are expected to attend the 32nd edition of the SPS - Smart Production Solutions - trade fair in Nuremberg from November 14 to 16, 2023. The booking figures show a significant growth of the trade fair compared to last year's event and thus a development towards pre-pandemic levels. The trade fair organizer is therefore expanding the exhibition space to 16 halls.
In 16 exhibition halls - two more than in 2022 - visitors will discover the latest trends and developments in the field of smart and digital automation. The 2022 event clearly demonstrated the importance of the SPS for automation specialists to engage in the important personal and professional exchange with visitors from the user industries.
Eight key topics at the trade fair
The SPS is divided into eight main topics. In the lower half of the exhibition grounds, the focus is on electrical drive technology, mechanical infrastructure, sensor technology and system solutions. In the middle, trade visitors will find the topics of industrial communication and software and IT in manufacturing. Finally, the upper section of the hall will focus on interface technology, control technology, human-machine interfaces, sensors and system solutions. The main topics are intended to provide visitors with orientation on the exhibition grounds and offer them the opportunity to gain a comprehensive overview of their area of interest.
New this year: Halls 3C and 8
Halls 3C and 8, which have been added this year, focus on the following areas: Hall 3C will bring together suppliers from the fields of mechanical infrastructure, control technology and software and IT in manufacturing. These include companies such as Rittal, Eplan, Rockwell Automation and Eaton Electrical Systems, who will be presenting their portfolio to the PLC community in this modern hall. In Hall 8, exhibitors such as LQ Mechatronik-Systeme, Rose Systemtechnik and Beijer Electronics will offer a wide range of control technology and human-machine interface products to extend and link Halls 7 and 9.
The organizer regularly publishes updates about the trade fair on the website. All information about the supporting program and other highlights of SPS 2023 can be found here.
