The largest industrial trade fair in the southwest opens its doors every two years. Once again this year, in addition to the more than 360 exhibitors, many interested parties found their way to the SICK Arena. The digitalization of business processes continues to advance. This year’s motto “Digital and at the height!” is therefore more than appropriate. More than 100 exciting specialist presentations on innovative developments in the field of digitalization, as well as exhibitors on the topics of artificial intelligence, robotics, industrial analytics, the Internet of Things and cyber security were not withheld from the approximately 10,000 visitors this year.
