Visitors to Booth 206 in Hall 7 of this year’s SPS event, which takes place in Nuremberg, Germany from November 12–14, will be able to see firsthand how B&R helps machine builders, integrators, owners, and operators achieve unprecedented production levels. The company’s most recent breakthroughs, including cloud-based engineering, AI-assisted coding, interoperable Industrial IoT solutions, AI-enhanced machine vision, and a new open approach to safety engineering, are being shown by more than 150 B&R professionals.
This year’s SPS event features a B&R booth that demonstrates how the company’s dedication to transparency enables it to link people, platforms, and products in order to boost productivity. By utilizing an extensive global network of partners and specialists, B&R is able to connect a full machine automation portfolio and provide hardware, software, and mechatronics that address real-world problems. The B&R ecosystem is connected to new cloud-based technologies, multi-vendor ecosystems, and brownfield architectures through open and interoperable solutions that transcend boundaries. “In all cases,” says Schneeberger, “the focus is on connecting each customer to their best solution.”
Attendees at SPS 2024 will be among the first to use the updated automation software from B&R. With an entirely new user interface that offers flexible cloud-based engineering and AI-assisted coding, it claims to improve collaboration and productivity while elevating the automation engineering experience. They may verify that assertion and B&R’s new safety engineering experience with an open code base and a range of new programming possibilities at the interactive workstations.
The most recent advancements in open robot mechanics and mechatronic product transport, such as 3D digital twin simulation for conceptual design, capacity optimization, and energy balancing, are also on display at the B&R booth. B&R’s open and interoperable Industrial IoT and edge solutions with AI-powered apps for real-time energy and performance optimization, predictive track system maintenance, and other uses are also on show.
More than 150 B&R professionals are excited to lead guests through 20 live demonstrations and seven interactive workstations where they can see how adaptive manufacturing can fit more productivity and flexibility on a smaller footprint and learn how open standards can lead to improved performance, simple scaling, and new business models.
