Supporting program enhances the appeal of the trade fair

The exhibitor booking situation is promising and the organizers expect a significant increase in visitor numbers. They can look forward to a top-class supporting program that will further increase the attractiveness of Sensor+Test.

"Sensor+Test 2025 starts in seven weeks, and our organization team is working flat out to create an event that impresses with its specialization. In contrast to large, often confusing trade fairs, Sensor+Test focuses on specialist expertise," explains Elena Schultz, Managing Director of AMA Service GmbH. Visitors can expect a fully occupied Hall 1 as well as a Plaza as a central meeting and exchange platform in Hall 2. A special highlight is the diverse program of activities. The focus will be on the established Innovative Calibration Area, two high-caliber forums with numerous best-practice presentations, the new Condition Monitoring lecture series, the special Young Innovators area and the SMSI 2025 - Sensor and Measurement Science International Conference. "Visitors and experts can look forward to a concentrated package of knowledge and innovation," says Elena Schultz.

Innovative Calibration Area once again in focus

The topic of "calibration" occupies a central place on the agenda of many companies. With the increasing number of sensors and measuring points, the use of modern, digital and automated calibration concepts is becoming a decisive competitive factor in the technical industry.

At Sensor+Test 2025, visitors will once again have the opportunity to experience the world of calibration up close. In the Innovative Calibration Area, exhibitors will present a wide range of innovative and reliable applications and services. From specialized calibration laboratories to leading institutions, all relevant players will be represented.

The Innovative Calibration Area is an ideal platform for innovation dialog between manufacturers, calibration service providers and users. The Technology Forum offers in-depth insights into the importance, strategies and digital future of calibration. "Our aim is not only to present technological innovations, but also to promote professional exchange in order to advance the industry in the long term. Topics such as the International System of Units (SI), traceability, measurement uncertainty and the digital calibration certificate will be the focus," emphasizes Elena Schultz.

Focus on condition monitoring

Monitoring the condition of vehicles, machines and systems is one of the most demanding and forward-looking tasks for sensors and measuring systems. Sensor+Test 2025 is devoting special attention to this key area of application. Innovative solutions and systems that provide crucial data and diagnostic results will be presented at the trade fair. These form the basis for safe, efficient, environmentally friendly and economical operating processes. The spectrum ranges from retrofit solutions and condition monitoring to remote testing and predictive maintenance through to machine diagnostics and AI-supported applications.

A special highlight is the new "Condition Monitoring" lecture series. Visitors will gain first-hand insights into how innovative sensor and measurement technology is used in practice to increase efficiency and safety in various industries. "Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are no longer visions of the future, but essential factors for the competitiveness of companies. Sensor+Test 2025 brings together leading experts and the latest technologies in these areas," says Elena Schultz. "Next year, this focus will be explored in greater depth as a special topic at Sensor+Test."

Strong demand for community stands

There is also great interest in the state-sponsored participation in the "Young Innovators" pavilion for young innovative companies. Here, start-ups are given the opportunity to present their new developments to a broad specialist audience. The joint stand will be sponsored by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection for the eighteenth time in 2025. "Young companies often have more ideas than financial resources. The joint stand offers them an established platform to present their innovations to an interested specialist audience," says a delighted Elena Schultz.

Other joint stands are organized by research associations such as Bayern Innovativ, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and the Strategic Partnership for Sensor Technology.

Conference at the highest level

The third SMSI - Sensor and Measurement Science International Conference will be held parallel to Sensor+Test on May 6, 2025 in the Congress Center West at NürnbergMesse. This still young format brings together national and international representatives from research, science, industry and government institutions. Numerous renowned experts and young scientists from various countries will present their latest research findings and discuss ideas and future trends.

Sensors and measurement technology are heavily dependent on innovations from research and development. The current status will be presented at SMSI 2025. With over 200 lectures and presentations, the conference offers an in-depth look into the future of the technology.
