In the middle of the year, the visitor counter of the AS-Interface Arena reached the 42,000 mark. The AS-Interface Arena offers information on all aspects of AS-Interface and is a good source of information on products and solutions.

The participating manufacturers show products and solutions, the chosen 3D presentation gives a particularly good impression, the detailed information and contact possibilities can be a "trade fair visit" from home.

The majority of visitors came from the USA, but China and Germany were also important countries of origin.

As it enters its third year as an independent trade show, Automate 2024 continues to set new records. Its cutting-edge technology, a unique blend of information and entertainment, and its role as a unifying platform for all industries have earned it high praise. These distinctive features establish Automate 2024 as the go-to event for those in search of automation solutions. The numbers speak for themselves: With a staggering 850 exhibitors and a record-breaking 42,985 registrants, Automate 2024 was the largest show in history.

At this historic event held in Chicago, the ideally located AS-Interface booth attracted a significant number of visitors from the outset. For numerous attendees, our booth was their initial destination for discovering optimal automation solutions for their companies.

The allure of AS-Interface technology was profound, not just due to its user-friendly interface and cost-effectiveness but also because it stands as a standard, facilitating compatibility with devices from various AS-Interface manufacturers. Representatives from Bihl+Wiedemann, BizLink, and Pepperl+Fuchs showcased an extensive range of AS-Interface solutions. Asked about their thoughts concerning their participation in the AS-Interface booth at the Automate 2024, Marco Karthaus, Business Development Manager for North America at BizLink, remarked, "We engaged in numerous enriching discussions with both established and potential clients, along with companies we hadn't previously identified as potential clients." Michael McCabe, Product Manager at Pepperl+Fuchs, reflected, " I love learning about the vast array of customer obstacles and am surprised how often AS-Interface can help solve their problems. This was a very good show!"

"A LIGHTING TOWER OF INNOVATION AND INTERNATIONAL NETWORKING" is the headline of the Hannover Economic Development Agency for this year's Hannover Messe. This confirms the impression at the AS-Interface stand with many visitors from all over the world. 

Hannover Messe 2024 was a success for AS-Interface. In times of economic change, there is always increased cost pressure and therefore a high level of interest in automation solutions.  There was particularly strong interest at the trade fair in the cost benefits of using AS-Interface technology.

The distinctly international audience at the Hannover Messe had many interesting projects in which AS-Interface offers clear cost advantages. The partners at the AS-Interface joint booth experienced a positive atmosphere and are optimistic about the future.

We would like to thank all customers, partners and interested parties for visiting us at the AS-Interface joint booth.

“PACK EXPO Las Vegas was a huge win for the packaging and processing industry,” says Jim Pittas, president and CEO, PMMI. “From attendance to exhibition space to educational sessions – the show surpassed expectations to provide our largest, most comprehensive show to date. This is proof that the industry continues to thrive and show-up to provide the most innovative, sustainable, effective solutions the world has to offer.”

“Nearly 32,000 attendees, the most in the show’s history, actively engaged with more than 2,300 exhibitors across 1 million net square feet of exhibit space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This event not only stands as the largest packaging and processing trade show in North America this year but as the largest PACK EXPO Las Vegas in the show’s history.”

Reading these citations from PMMI, the Association for Packaging and Processing Technology, instills a certain pride that we were part of this show in Las Vegas. AS-Interface was joined by member companies Bihl+Wiedemann, Pepperl+Fuchs, and Valmet-StoneL. These three companies could not be any more different. Yet, they showed and explained how they can cover most customer requirements when designing an automation network. It impresses attendees when they discover that AS-Interface technology can be mixed and matched between different AS-Interface manufacturers, customizing the customer’s requirements perfectly.  

Always on the top of the advantages is the easiness and cost-effectiveness with which an AS-Interface automation network can be implemented in very different environments. This became transparent to the PACK EXPO attendees through the great variety of devices on the members’ panels and by explaining the significance of the AS-Interface two-conductor cable. It is easy to see that the wiring efforts can be significantly reduced by using a cable that leads power AND data as the foundation of an automation network.

Las Vegas will always be the city that never sleeps. It will always be glittery and exciting, a place to see at least once in a lifetime. However, as we could experience, the city also attracts many employees of industrial companies from all over Northern America to not only enjoy Las Vegas’ uniqueness but to soak up the innovations packaging and automation have to offer. It was amazing to be back in Las Vegas to talk about AS-Interface.

Cellulose is a versatile material, the best known and most common application being as the basis for paper production. However, cellulose fibers are also suitable for other products, for example as a raw material for filters. In order to be used as a filter, however, the cellulose requires a pretreatment that also involves the use of the highly explosive acetone. Continuous production control in this environment is difficult, but...

AS-Interface reported a growth of 35% in the first half of 2022. The increased demand affected the traffic on the booth at the SPS in Nuremberg. From November 8-10, the time in the exhibition hall was filled with intensive discussions. The simple, effective and above all cost-saving AS-Interface technology could convince and will now continue the growth with new users. New products and concrete solutions played a major role in many discussions. The exhibitors can be found in the AS-Interface Arena. 

With close to 45,000 registered attendees and almost 2,200 exhibitors, PACK EXPO International is one of North America's most significant automation and packaging trade shows. These numbers are just about where they were before Covid, and the show felt just like that: Booth visitors were highly interested and excited about the show and what we had to offer. Joined by Bihl+Wiedemann, Celpia, Pepperl+Fuchs, and Valmet, we could cover various aspects and application priorities for AS-Interface automation solutions.

As always, AS-Interface technology impressed many visitors when they first saw the two-conductor cable. A cable leading power and data parallelly is a considerable improvement for everyone who has ever wired a network. The reduction in wiring efforts has enormous advantages concerning costs as well as ease of installation. The member companies' experts, displaying at our booth, then provided interested potential customers with solutions for their specific automation needs. Here, looking at four very different AS-Interface providers, the mix-and-max aspect of the standardized AS-Interface technology became very transparent.

A successful show for Bihl+Wiedemann, Celpia, Pepperl+Fuchs, and Valmet, and for AS-Interface technology.

Finally Hannover Messe again after two years of pandemic break! For us it was clear that we would be there again and we are happy that we did it this year.

This year, 75,000 visitors and 2,500 exhibitors came to Hannover. Despite reduced exhibitors and noticeably less visitors than at the last Hannover Messe in 2019, we were positively surprised. Personal conversations, exciting contacts, new ideas and solutions accompanied us for four full days of the trade fair. Especially the share of international visitors rounded off a successful fair.

At our AS-Interface joint booth in hall 9, booth D06, visitors could inform themselves in personal conversations about the strong performance spectrum of ASi-5.

We thank you for your visit and hope to welcome you at further fairs this year.

News from the Automate show in Detroit. Check out on our Arena stage.
Dr. Hornis would be pleased to present the AS-Interface products of Pepperl+Fuchs to you personally next year at Automate 2023.

SPS Italia in Parma opened the trade show season for many automation experts in Europe. After the long Covid break, a positive atmosphere, open to change was experienced in Italy. AS-Interface manufacturers were present at the common booth from May 24-26, 2022.

Visitor interest at the AS-Interface booth was significantly higher than at the last show in 2019. Demand for AS-Interface technology has increased, but the new location in Hall 6, may also have played a part in this.

The total number of visitors to the 2022 show was 36,500, just below the record level of 2019.

AS-Interface is a cost-effective solution for collecting data in the field and making it available to host systems in the control cabinet or the cloud. In addition, the ASi-5 technology, with significantly increased performance, makes the system interesting for numerous new applications.

At the AS-Interface booth many conversations were about new projects with AS-Interface and the opportunities of the ASi-5 technology.

Everything under one roof. This is what we heard from attendees during the first two days of Automate 2022 in Detroit. Industrial companies are used to traveling around to talk to different automation technology providers to find the best automation solution for their needs. For these companies, the 4-day Automate show offers the possibility to discuss setups, requirements and ideas with all potential solution providers right here in “Motown”. So far, a successful show for everyone, exhibitors and attendees alike.

Second day in Detroit at the Automate show at booth A-2251, where AS-Interface is joined by Bihl+Wiedemann and Pepperl+Fuchs.

The performance of ASi-5 enables an even wider range of applications which are now covered by AS-Interface.

Consequently, there is a great demand among component developers to get an insight into the technology. The AS-Interface organization has reacted to this demand by offering online trainings as well as a face-to-face seminar. From April 27th to 28th an ASi-5 developer seminar took place in Leipzig.

The participating product developers already had first product ideas in mind, correspondingly the questions to the speakers were concrete. Especially products that use the new diagnostic opportunities and the additional bandwidth are in great demand by the market.

At the end of the seminar, the participants got answers to their questions. They are now familiar with the technology. They know the opportunities of the system and they can begin now with an easy entry into product development.

The AS-Interface Academy is used more and more intensively. In January 100 new visitors had enrolled in the AS-Interface Academy. Today almost 3 months later already about 1000 participants have enrolled for the courses: "AS-Interface Technology" and "Introduction to ASi-5 Technology". The increase shows that there is a high interest in online trainings. The AS-Interface system reduces costs in all phases of an automated machine or plant. With the advantages in wiring, the savings effects are most noticeable in the installation and commissioning phases. Savings of 60% and more can be achieved in these phases.

The courses of the AS-Interface Academy teach the technical basics and background of the AS-Interface technology. With the courses of the academy, which can also be completed with a certificate, the participants receive information about: Transmission technology, functional scope, application possibilities and system components.

The courses offer both technicians and students an additional opportunity for further training in order to be able to use the advantages of the system. The increasing usage also shows that the advantages of the system are particularly attractive.

After a long break, Pack Expo was the first show we attended again. We wanted to use this chance not only to present our products and solutions but also to give something positive back Freshly printed, we took the opportunity to present our new ASi-5 Compendium at Pack Expo in Las Vegas and do something good. We decided to support the Sunshine Kids, an organization that helps children with cancer. Interested trade show attendees were able to make a donation and received the brand-new ASi-5 compendium in return. Thanks to the generous donations, we were able to write out a $1,000 check to the Sunshine Kids.  

PACK EXPO Las Vegas was one of the first industrial trade shows after a long break due to Covid-19. It was exciting for everyone to talk to other people working in our field of expertise.

Safety precautions have been kept through daily self-assessments and through masks to be worn at all times during the show. Obviously, the AS-Interface Organization, joint by member companies Bihl+Wiedemann and Pepperl+Fuchs, did not know what to expect. The event turned out to positively surprise in every aspect: The show and our booth was busier than in the years before, with attendees truly interested in automation and AS-Interface technology. Many exciting conversations about sensors and controls were lead, resulting in an impressive number of promising leads for the participating companies. Attendees stopping at our booth were highly impressed with the technology and in positions to make decisions concerning their needs in automation. All in all, the show was a true surprise to all of us, and a great success for everyone participating.

As we are starting to plan the PACK EXPO 2022 in Chicago on October 23-26, we already envision a much larger presence at a prime location. Include us in your plans for 2022.
