ODCA to Showcase Direct Current Innovations at SPS 2024 in Nuremberg

The Open Direct Current Alliance  will participate at this year’s SPS Fair, one of Europe’s largest trade fairs for smart production solutions. All three days ODCA members and industry experts will be present at Booth 331 in Hall 3, where they will showcase the latest developments in direct current (DC) technology for low voltage applications.

As the demand for sustainable and energy-efficient power solutions grows, DC technology is proving to be essential in modernizing industrial energy infrastructure. ODCA’s presence at SPS 2024 highlights the crucial role of DC in supporting energy transition, particularly for industries moving towards efficient, green energy solutions.

Live Presentations on Direct Current 

Throughout the day, ODCA members and experts from prominent companies will hold a series of presentations and discussions on DC integration and its applications in industrial environments. Visitors are invited to learn more at the following sessions:
