I’m just back from the SPS/IPC/Drives Show in Nuremberg, Germany. The show attendance 
and exhibitors were off just a little from last year, but still quite busy.
There were 1,601 exhibitors, down from 1,668. Exhibiting companies numbered 523 from 45 countries.
The exhibition space totaled 1,315,350 sq. ft.
Visitors numbered 63,291.
Industrie 4.0 was highlighted and many booths displayed their companies’ connection to Industrie 4.0 and OPC UA.

Next post will cover the PI Booth.
