The experts and additional companies also occupied table tops on which they demonstrated their latest products for the automation of first class production processes or device development. The astonishing thing was that everybody worked extremely close together without any barriers. All faces pointing to the same direction and we got the job done! This is something special from our community that no other organization can match.

It was also the first event in China where the audience could witness a live demo of PROFIBUS and PROFINET. From scratch a configuration was created with both technologies running on one controller. It was demonstrated that PROFIBUS and PROFINET have a perfect match and can save you energy, weight, materials, spare parts, documentation and lots of effort. The main message was; "your investment is completely safe for now, the future, yourself and your children".
