PCIM Asia & SPS Automation Shanghai to open on 24 June 2015
PCIM Asia, an international exhibition and conference for power electronics, intelligent motion, renewable energy and energy management as well as the inaugural edition of SPS Automation Shanghai will commence from 24 – 26 June at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Center. The two three-day events are expected to draw over 6,000 trade visitors to source from more than 100 power electronics, connectivity and sensor product exhibitors from 10 countries and regions.
Power devices and industrial automation are interrelated in many areas so the synergies between both shows are expected to be strong, particularly in the areas of electrical vehicle development as well as power and energy management. Exhibitors of both fairs have indicated positive reception of the concurrent arrangements. This year’s fairs will occupy a total area of 7,500 sqm. Some leading brands visitors can look forward to seeing at PCIM Asia 2015 edition include Mitsubishi, Power Integrations, Vincotech, Fuji, Toshiba, Infineon, LEM, Semikron, Mersen, CRRC, StarPower, Shanghai Eagtop, Shanghai Guidu, Staubli, Keysight, Wacker, Auxel and others. Additionally, Vishay, Sanrex, Hydra, GaN, TMR and others will be present at the 2015 fair for the first time to display their latest semiconductors, passive components, along with power and thermal management systems.
For SPS Automation Shanghai, sensor and connectivity technologies are core components in the design of state-of-the-art automation systems and will also be highlighted in the inaugural show. Reputable companies to exhibit include Phoenix Contact, Contrinex, Eplan, Harting, Sensopart, Wain and Pepperl+Fuchs. Visitors will find a full spectrum of automation products and solutions related to sensors and connectivity, industrial manufacturing, infrastructure and public transport development.
