Advantech, a global leader in edge computing and intelligent systems, will be exhibiting at the SPS trade fair, a trade show taking place in Nuremberg (Germany) on November 25-27, 2025. Under the theme “Edge Computing & WISE-Edge in Action”, the company will demonstrate in hall 7, booth 380 how its WISE-Edge platform can unify edge computing, AI, and implementation to enable intelligent, real-time operations in a wide variety of industrial sectors.

“SPS is a key event for Advantech” says Jash Bansidhar, AVP of Industrial Automation Sector, Advantech Europe. “It offers an ideal platform to showcase our innovation in edge computing, AI and industrial IoT.” Bringing together decision-makers, engineers, and system integrators, SPS helps Advantech to demonstrate real-world solutions, and to strengthen partnerships within its growing ecosystem, which includes leading technology partners such as NVIDIA, Intel, AWS and Qualcomm.

According to Jash Bansidhar, today’s customers are looking for more than just technology. “They want us to understand their pain points – and their growth areas. It means moving from being a supplier to becoming a strategic partner. And what makes Advantech unique is that we offer both the hardware and the software expertise to achieve true IT/OT convergence. We cover everything from data acquisition, communication, edge computing, certification and protocol conversion to edge computing and IoT software frameworks, making us a strong enabler of digital transformation.”

Visitors to the booth will have the opportunity to explore ten different application areas. These include: Edge AI for digital human interaction on a shop floor; Edge AI for both AMR solutions and the Jetson Thor Platform; Edge controller with Codesys for software-defined automation; how to make brownfield secure and ready for CRA; effortless traceability in smart manufacturing with vision intelligence; and more.

With a booth covering over 143 m², Advantech will also host a few partners with their own solutions:
