At SPS/IPC/DRIVES '12 (27-29/11/2012 in Nuremberg) there has been for the first time a booth dedicated to the IEC 61499 standard evolution and its adoption in various automation markets. We are very proud that 4DIAC was represented with a poster at this booth. The booth attracted lots of visitors and was a great success. We are looking forward to seeing/having a follow-up of this activity at next year's SPS/IPC/Drives.
