How can industrial communication systems be designed securely, and what solutions does PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) offer in light of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)? At SPS 2026, taking place November 24–26 in Nuremberg, PI - together with its more than 80 co-exhibitors - will present the latest developments and solutions for industrial automation in Hall 5, Booth 210. The focus will be on industrial security, future-proof communication technologies, and hands-on demonstrations.
A highlight of the program is the Security Coffee Session with Prof. Dr. Karl-Heinz Niemann, a long-standing expert in industrial cybersecurity, on Tuesday, November 24, at 1:00 p.m. It offers an opportunity to learn about key issues in industrial security and PI’s approach to the CRA. In addition, throughout the trade show’s opening hours, visitors can discuss their own questions and challenges directly with PI security experts through hands-on demonstrations - ranging from integration to application. Another new feature is a multi-vendor security demo illustrating the benefits of scalable security and PROFINET V2.5.
Experience Technologies Live: PI Tours and Technical Presentations
Those seeking a concise overview of PI’s technology portfolio can participate in the free PI tours. These take place daily at 2:00 p.m. during the trade show. In addition, PI offers short presentations on current trending topics. These tours and presentations provide insight into the technologies on display, live demonstrations, and their potential applications in industrial automation.
Broad Technology Portfolio and Hands-On Demonstrations
The PI joint booth will showcase the company’s broad technology portfolio, the diversity of industrial communication, and the latest developments in automation. The focus includes, among other things, Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), Ethernet-APL, industrial security, vertical integration, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, IO-Link, PROFIsafe, PROFIdrive, omlox, MTP, SRCI, and NOA, as well as industrial AI. Live demonstrations show how these technologies work together and open up new possibilities for end-to-end communication and intelligent automation. The wide variety of devices and presentations by co-exhibitors will illustrate the concrete implementation and practical application of PI technologies.
The PI joint booth thus offers a comprehensive insight into current developments in industrial communication and the possibilities of modern automation. PI experts will be available to answer technical questions and engage in discussions.
