Few topics are currently shaping the automation industry as profoundly as Industrial Artificial Intelligence (AI). At the SPS, companies showcase intelligent solutions across engineering, production, and maintenance that reveal the new potential AI unlocks for productivity and efficiency.
A key topic at this year’s SPS is the use of Artificial Intelligence in manufacturing technologies. Industrial AI is rapidly finding its way into a wide range of industrial products and processes – whether as a supportive element in engineering workflows, integrated into control devices through a variety of AI models or embedded in intelligent tools for predictive maintenance, quality assurance and adaptive production control. The rise of Physical AI also plays an important role. These technologies open new potential for efficiency, flexibility and resource conservation in automation technology.
