Industrial automation: SPS 2025 welcomes around 56,000 trade visitors

Artificial intelligence, software‑defined automation and, naturally, safety & security were at the centre of the SPS Smart Production Solutions 2025. From 25 to 27 November, around 56,000 trade visitors came to Nuremberg, roughly 5,000 more than the previous year. In discussions with the 1,175 exhibitors, attendees addressed their most pressing challenges: process automation, cost reductions for German machinery manufacturers to remain internationally competitive, supply‑chain resilience, open systems and compliance with new regulations such as the Machinery Regulation, the Cyber Resilience Act and the NIS‑2 Directive, as well as energy efficiency.

Surfing tip
The B2B information portal for safety & security

Digital transformation is causing safety and security to become increasingly intertwined. Machines and systems in production must run safely and with as few failures as possible for employees and the raw materials and operating materials being processed. At the same time, networked production facilities must be protected against external hacker attacks. Cyber security is the keyword in this context. Production facilities must also be equipped to withstand physical attacks. Access control and security technology have become indispensable in this area. The new B2B trade medium for safety and security addresses these issues.
