Our PI booth was modern and attracted many visitors with our entire technology portfolio, including both familiar and new exhibition models. I’d like to highlight two particular aspects: the annual node numbers and the presentation of our activities.

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 PNO is pleased to announce the ninth edition of the PI-Konferenz 2025, to be held on June 4-5, 2025 at the House of Logistics and Mobility (HOLM) in Frankfurt / Main, Germany.

There are lots of great webinars and events coming up. There are two webinars: one on GSDX files and another on PROFIsafe. Visit omlox in Detroit, MI at the Automate Show. Finally there are two upcoming PROFINET classes in North America.

Companies with new PROFINET or IO-Link products to announce include: Softing, Renesas, Festo, Rotork, Alfa Laval, Optris, Carlo Gavazzi, and Micro-Epsilon

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.
