SPS Expo 2026 is the annual highlight for smart and digital automation at the Nuremberg Exhibition Center. Fifteen halls run from sensors and drives through control, industrial communication, HMI, and manufacturing software to integrated production lines. Machine builders, plant engineers, and automation buyers from manufacturing industries come to compare vendors side by side.
SPS (Smart Production Solutions) is the premier European trade fair for industrial automation, taking place 24–26 November 2026 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre. The event concentrates practical demonstrations and exhibitors across control technology, drives, sensors, industrial software/IT, communication and Industrial AI, attracting a large professional audience of engineers, plant managers, system integrators and procurement specialists.
