2019 PI Konferenz
On March 19-20, 2019, PI Germany will hold its sixth PI Konferenz. The House of Logistics and Mobility (HOLM) in Frankfurt/Main, Germany was selected as the venue for this iteration of the conference.
The PI Konferenz is open to all interested attendees -not just PNO members.
In line with its guiding theme “With PI into the age of Industrie 4.0 in the field” the upcoming PI conference will strike out in new directions. After all, it’s the community of PI technology fans who are being appealed to with major issues like semantics and information, communication, security and new business models. This means that the event’s focus no longer lies solely on the use of industrial communication with PROFIBUS, PROFINET and IO-Link as well as on the application profiles. Essential topics for PI here include the integration of TSN and OPC UA into PROFINET, the specification of further security measures, and the definition of semantic aspects in cooperation with other organizations like the OPC Foundation and eCl@ss. Every facet, including the network, architectures, data exchange, devices, and systems, will be examined against the backdrop of the complete life cycle of a production plant – from the planning, configuration and engineering phases through to active operation.
The 2019 PI Konferenz will once again feature technology-specific workshops with a wide variety of practical examples and live models, in addition to expert presentations.
