Hall 6, Booth 350D
Joint Booth “Automation Meets IT”
SPS – Smart Production Solutions is the leading international event for smart and digital automation. It brings together industry, research, and innovation to showcase how ideas become real-world solutions – from industrial AI to fully integrated production systems.
Fraunhofer IPMS will be present at SPS to present its Li-Fi solutions for next-generation industrial communication, contributing to the future of robust, high-performance and scalable connectivity in automation environments.
Industrial wireless communication must be reliable, secure, and predictable. In this presentation we explore Li-Fi as a practical complement to radio technologies in industrial communication. Using modulated light, Li-Fi enables gigabit-class data rates and stable communication even in demanding industrial environments. Its ultra-low deterministic latency and interferences-free transmission makes it suitable for real-time applications and compatible with fieldbus protocols such as EtherCAT and PROFINET. Participants will learn how Li-Fi can be integrated seamlessly into existing automation networks. In this presentation we summarize our experiences from 15years+ in the field and present our technology nodes such as Li-Fi Grathus®, GigaSpot and GigaDock® with real-world use cases and integration concepts for high-performance industrial connectivity..
Do you think industrial real-time communication is only possible with cables? Visit our booth and discover the alternative: optical wireless communication solutions for industrial real-time applications.
Meet us at SPS Nuremberg and explore the Li-Fi portfolio of Fraunhofer IPMS. For more than 15 years, we have been developing and integrating optical wireless technologies that enable industrial data communication without cables and without conventional radio-frequency technologies – robust, secure, and easy to integrate into existing systems.

Our Li-Fi technology nodes are designed for a wide range of industrial automation and communication scenarios – from short to long distances, compact to rugged form factors, and fully scalable data rates.
Depending on the application, they enable reliable, interference-resistant, and real-time capable data links. If required, simultaneous transmission of power and data is also possible via Power-over-Light (PoL), opening up new possibilities for flexible and efficient system integration.
