SPE Industrial Partner Network appoints new board members
In the frame of their general meeting held on line on April 2, the SPE Industrial Partner Network e. V. has elected a new Board. Frank Welzel, HARTING Electronics, has been re-elected as Chairman of the Board. The following four board members representing the founding members of the SPE Industrial Partner Network have been appointed to the Board: Claus Kleedoerfer, TE Connectivity (Vice Chair), Wolfgang Schenk, Belden / Hirschmann Automation & Control (Treasurer), and Jochen Metz, Metz Connect (Secretary of the Board).
The members of the both, the Board as well as the Extended Board, jointly define the strategic approach of the SPE Industrial Partner Network in order to further drive the implementation of the Single Pair Ethernet technology in the market – this to advance the Industrial Ethernet of Things (IIoT). Bundling its interdisciplinary competence and expertise, the Network has established three working groups, each with a dedicated focus: technology, application / use cases, and marketing. Their task is to develop and extend SPE-based opportunities in the industry both, on analog and digital, national and international platforms to the benefit of the SPE community and users. The SPE Industrial Partner Network is committed to building a comprehensive SPE ecosystem and drive standardization for the respective protocols, cabling, and device components.
Five years after its founding, the SPE Industrial Partner Network premieres with its new Board and a dedicated booth at Hannover Messe 2024, the world-leading industry show in Hanover, Germany. On April 22 through 26, 2024, the SPE Industrial Partner Network welcomes visitors at booth #B53 in hall 11 – right next to ZVEI’s All Electric Society Arena – with a set-up of interactive SPE based application and use-case demonstrations and extensive opportunities to discuss the opportunities of Single Pair Ethernet in industrial context.
