Single Pair Ethernet is a technology that is being initiated by a large group of companies to realize new possibilities for Industrial Internet of Things and Edge Computing.
There are several companies in industrial automation that are actively involved in this technology. New applications are made possible with cables, communication technology, instrumentation and industrial automation in general.
There is a development of standards, the first devices come onto the market and new applications arise in buildings, production and process industries. Within the various markets there is a need for solutions to the current challenges surrounding the energy transition, Industrial Internet of Things, cybersecurity and autonomous production. There is a need for standardization to achieve integrated cooperation in business chains.
Challenges for SPE adoption are seen around the following four topics:
- Standards
- Basic technology
- Possible equipment 'communicating with edge computing'.
- End-user applications
You are invited to discuss the four topics in a Round Table meeting with other professionals. This is an open meeting. Anyone who finds SPE relevant to their company is welcome. The focus is on technological challenges and applications for end users.
The 'round table' discussion will take place on Wednesday, July 6 from 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM at FHI in Leusden. Register to participate via email: jacolien.frentz@fhi.nl

What technological challenges are there?
Which applications will be possible for end users?
Is it now an important opportunity to pay attention to this theme during WoTS?
If so, which end users can we involve very quickly?
