Review SPS 2024

Single Pair Ethernet impresses at the SPS 2024 trade fair

The SPE System Alliance celebrated an overwhelming success at this year’s SPS trade fair in Nuremberg. For the second time, the Alliance presented itself with an innovative trade fair concept that included numerous live applications on various topics, an SPE/APL Test Center and new SPE products. Around 400 visitors showed great interest in the trade fair stand.

It was particularly noteworthy that many customers were already familiar with SPE technology and are now actively looking for partners to realize their first products. This is also reflected in the increased number of membership inquiries about our strong alliance. The variety of products on display provided a comprehensive overview of the numerous possible applications of this pioneering technology.

Another highlight was the announcement by PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) to integrate SPE technology into their guidelines in the future and thus define a standardized connector for PROFINET applications. These developments have further increased interest in the technology and are a milestone towards a seamlessly networked future.

Simon Seereiner, Director of the Board of the SPE System Alliance, emphasized: “This event marked another significant step forward in bringing SPE technology to the market. SPS in Nuremberg provides the ideal stage for this ground-breaking technology and we look forward to continuing to inspire with innovative solutions next year.”

The SPS trade fair has once again shown that it is an ideal platform for technological innovations and partnerships. The future of Single Pair Ethernet looks promising and the SPE System Alliance is ready to play an active role in shaping this development.
