At SPS, ISG Industrielle Steuerungstechnik GmbH will be presenting the revised version 2.8 of the ISG-virtuos simulation system - an open simulation platform for digital twins.

With a view to the SPS, Henrik A. Schunk emphasizes: "Digital technology and artificial intelligence methods will revolutionize assembly and handling in the coming years."

Eaton is presenting the "NubisNet" IoT solution for the first time at SPS in Nuremberg from November 26 to 28. The complete package bundles all previous IoT offerings into one system and includes easy-to-configure gateways in WLAN, LAN and LTE versions, a secure cloud server and an easy-to-use IoT platform.

Railroad planning software. The research project "Camera-based path planning KaBa" at the ISW of the University of Stuttgart is working on the development of scalable path planning software. It is designed to plan collision-free robot paths and compensate for deviations in the real component.
Products are becoming increasingly intelligent. Getting manufacturing on the same path is one of the key challenges of our time. The key word here is interaction: just as smart devices react independently to our needs, software can redefine manufacturing in such a way that factories will adapt to changing production requirements as a matter of course in the future.
Additive manufacturing is fighting for its place in industrial production. Nevertheless, there are still hurdles. The joint stand "Lightweight construction from Baden-Württemberg" shows how components can be produced more quickly.
The Paul Kauth Group operates its own toolmaking facility in Frittlingen. This is where progressive tools with a length of up to 6 m and up to 50 stations are produced, which would be impossible to manufacture without a CAM system.
Baumüller is presenting numerous new products at the SPS: Motor concepts, intelligent drive functions and control platforms can be seen at various stations. In the Industry 4.0 area, the connectivity and interoperability of components via OPC UA as well as cloud connectivity will be presented.
