SPS 2023
End-to-end application solutions for the IIoT
RS, a global provider of product and service solutions for industrial customers, will be exhibiting at SPS - Smart Production Solutions from November 14 to 16, 2023. As an important automation trade fair, SPS represents the complete spectrum of smart and digital automation.
RS is using its presence at the trade fair in the form of an 80 m² stand to demonstrate its end-to-end product offering and its portfolio of value-added solutions. In addition, the distributor will present its capabilities to meet challenges in the areas of IoT and smart automation and create new opportunities in this area. It is not only in this area that close cooperation with customers is of central importance. In this way, the distributor helps to ensure smooth operation, minimize delays and downtimes and increase efficiency. Predictive maintenance is becoming increasingly important in this context and RS can help customers to fully exploit the possibilities of modern PLC technologies or to integrate modern communication systems into existing network infrastructures.
RS will also use the event to present its sustainability approach to an even broader public. The topic is becoming increasingly important in all sectors of industry and electronics. The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Action Plan 2030 addresses some of the world's biggest challenges, from climate change to promoting diversity and inclusion. Against this backdrop, RS is also committed to education and innovation. In doing so, the company is fostering the very talent that can address the current shortage of technical skills.

RS Group completes acquisition of Distrelec
RS has completed the acquisition of Distrelec, a digitally focused high-service distributor of industrial, maintenance, repair and operational products.
Separate areas on the RS stand will explore individual topics in greater depth. Here, for example, visitors can find out more about the distributor's inventory solutions, OKdo and RS's own brand RS PRO of high-quality and competitively priced products.
Inventory solutions from RS offer real added value by saving customers time, money and resources. Maintaining the production process is a top priority for every company. It is therefore crucial that the right parts are available where they are needed and at the right time. RS offers the right solution for precisely this purpose, regardless of whether products are needed directly on the production line or at warehouse locations. RS also helps engineers and technicians to work in a time-efficient manner and optimize warehouse management.
OKdo works with some of the best technology companies in the world, including NVIDIA, Arduino and BeagleBone, and can support customers at every stage of the product design cycle. The focus is on single board computing (SBC) and IoT solutions. The company offers a unique combination of software, development support and manufacturing services. In this way, OKdo creates the conditions for generating new ideas and turning them into commercial reality.
RS PRO is RS's own brand and offers more than 88,000 high-quality and affordable industrial products and electronic components. These include over 8,400 smart connectivity products for the industrial IoT.
RS Group experts will be on hand to explain how the entire range of products, technologies and value-added services can be used in various customer applications. In addition, all visitors are invited to take a spin on the "wheel of fortune" to relax.
