You can experience the solutions of the following partners live at our booth this year:
Cybersecurity
Industrial automation is becoming smarter – and thus more vulnerable to cyberattacks. New regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) make it clear: cybersecurity is no longer an option but a necessity. Machine manufacturers must consider security measures from the outset to minimize cyber risks and comply with legal requirements. We already adhere to the highest security standards. The operating system ctrlX OS is secure by design and already prepared for the requirements of the CRA. At the booth, we provide comprehensive information on the topic of cybersecurity, the associated challenges for machine builders, and possible solutions.
"Bringing Automation to Life" – the motto of SPS. SPS covers the entire spectrum of smart and digital automation – from simple sensors to intelligent solutions, from what is feasible today to the vision of a fully digitized industrial world. The focus is on practical solutions for your specific work area. SPS is the highlight of the automation industry. It serves as an idea generator and innovation platform.
We warmly invite you to experience our ctrlX OS Ecosystem live at the trade fair!
