PLANET Technology, a leading global provider of IP-based networking products and solutions, will return to SPS 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany, from November 24 to 26, 2026 (Booth: Hall 5-149). With a focus on combining AI, industrial automation, and cybersecurity, PLANET will showcase networking solutions for AI-powered surveillance, industrial cybersecurity, automation connectivity, critical infrastructure communications, and smart energy management. By combining high-performance industrial networks with a centralized management platform, these solutions enhance edge intelligence, network visibility, and OT security, helping businesses connect equipment on the factory floor, monitor operations, and build reliable, scalable network infrastructure for smart manufacturing.

As AI applications and automation equipment become more widely deployed in industrial environments, stable data transmission and precise synchronization are essential to keeping production lines running. PLANET will showcase industrial managed switches that support the IEC 61850-3 standard for power system communications, along with a nanosecond-level TSN Managed Switch. Combining a 10G fiber backbone with precise time synchronization, these solutions meet the demand for reliable communications and real-time data transmission in power systems, machine control, and smart factories. PLANET will also showcase expandable 10G High-power PoE Networking Solutions, featuring PoE++ power-sourcing equipment, 10G fiber/PoE media converters, and high-density industrial switches. These solutions upgrade power delivery across existing networks and extend high-speed connectivity to remote edge devices.

For smart factory safety and security, PLANET’s Edge AI Surveillance Station integrates video analytics, intelligent playback search, and live event alerts to help operators detect unusual activity and respond to incidents faster. A centralized management interface and flexible architecture allow scalable surveillance deployments as demands grow, improving management efficiency across multiple cameras and locations. To address the cybersecurity challenges of accelerating IT/OT convergence, PLANET will also showcase the Industrial PUF Hardware Security Gateway, 2-port 10G Security Gateway, as well as the PUF-Powered FIDO2 Security Key for Zero Trust Access. Combining Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), VPN firewall capabilities, and authentication mechanisms, these solutions strengthen protection for critical equipment and operational environments, from user access and remote connections to industrial network traffic inspection.

To connect industrial equipment across generations, PLANET will showcase automation networking solutions covering PROFINET, EtherCAT, Single Pair Ethernet, and Modbus. PROFINET switches prioritize industrial control data, while EtherCAT media converter and junction solutions support long-distance transmission, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and flexible network topologies. SPE media converters simplify field wiring, while Wi-Fi HaLow wireless solutions extend connectivity to remote I/O sites where cabling is difficult. Modbus serial device servers also bring data from existing machines onto IP networks and into management platforms, preserving their equipment investments while advancing industrial IoT and smart manufacturing in stages.

Smart Network Energy Management and Renewable Energy Network will also be key highlights of the exhibit. Through smart metering, Modbus serial device servers, HaLow Wi-Fi Bridge, and a centralized management platform, PLANET connects on-site power measurement, data transmission, and energy analytics. These solutions track equipment energy consumption and operational trends, providing a foundation for energy management and ESG applications. The Renewable Energy PoE Network Solution integrates renewable energy charging, smart battery management, and PoE power management to support surveillance and wireless communications equipment in remote locations or areas where electrical infrastructure is difficult to install, addressing remote connectivity needs while improving energy efficiency. PLANET continues to advance smart manufacturing and sustainable operations through efficient, secure, and easy-to-manage networking technologies.
