In view of the current economic stagnation, companies are facing the challenge of improving their production facilities and making them more efficient. In this context, IO-Link is proving to be an innovative solution for optimizing systems and modernizing operations. The IO-Link Forum in Friedrichshafen, Germany on May 27, 2025 offers practical know-how to increase efficiency and flexibility. The onsite event will be in German language.
IO-Link is a manufacturer-independent communication standard that enables sensors and actuators in automation technology to be seamlessly integrated into the higher-level control system and also easy to parameterize and configure. By implementing IO-Link, systems can be made more flexible, efficient and future-proof. Companies benefit from shorter downtimes, improved adaptability and greater efficiency. In times of economic uncertainty, this is a decisive competitive advantage.
In addition, IO-Link makes it easy to integrate new sensors and actuators into existing systems. This makes it easier to modernize and retrofit production lines without having to make extensive changes to the control hardware. Companies can therefore gradually improve their systems and adapt them to new requirements without incurring high investment costs.
If you want to know how it all works, then the IO-Link Forum on May 27 in Friedrichshafen offers you a unique exchange of knowledge and promises valuable insights into the world of industrial automation and communication technologies with IO-Link.
The IO-Link Forum offers a wide range of topics for participants of all levels of knowledge in sessions, some of which will take place in parallel. Lectures on the topic of plant modernization in particular have been modified and expanded. A special highlight is the report on an end user’s experience with IO-Link. The accompanying micro-fair also offers the opportunity to exchange ideas with manufacturers and learn about new products, features and services.
