The omlox team from PI and the FiRa Consortium are working together to optimize the use of UWB in hybrid spaces, by way of a joint working group.

Even in times of economic and structural change, PI technologies are experiencing solid growth for use in machines and systems across the globe.

The documentation of MTP 2.0 will be jointly published by the project partners — NAMUR, ZVEI, and PI — as a new, consistent set of documents in the summer of 2025.

The work in the NAMUR, ZVEI, and PI cooperation has now begun and is bearing its first fruits. The NOA Steering Committee will establish Joint Working Groups to carry out specification work, define quality assurance measures, and implement marketing projects.

The automation landscape in the process industry has often been characterized by rigid systems, which has meant that the introduction of new technologies or changes has progressed slowly. However, a wide range of technologies are now available for entry into a modern automation world.

With PI technologies, users in the process industry not only benefit from increased efficiency of their systems, but also from reduced maintenance and repair costs. This is demonstrated by the new technologies under the PI umbrella: MTP and NOA.

Calling all drive manufacturers: the PROFIdrive Profile Tester has added some advanced features. Take a look at what's new and download it today.

When IO-Link was specified, the founding companies had simple sensors and actuators in mind. It is now clear that IO-Link has enough technological potential to enable even more complex field devices to communicate.
