A trade fair stand for Phoenix Contact Solutions

For the presentation of Phoenix Contact at the Hannover Messe Industrie (HMI) 2016 and 2017, we staged several highlight exhibits. In 2016, the eye-catching Proficloud was already suspended above the proceedings. In 2017, it made a reappearance along with the system extensions PLCnext Technology and the software PC Worx Engineer. For the Phoenix Contact Solutions exhibits, we developed a modular system that presents components, models and media exhibits in a uniform and interconnected format.

Solutions exhibits

The Phoenix Contact Solutions illustrate just how varied operating systems can be when implemented with PLCnext technology. Four media-staged exhibits introduce the key topics ‘Infrastructure’, ‘Factory Automation’, ‘Energy’ and ‘Process Industry’ by animating entire processes in the respective sector. These central exhibits are surrounded by numerous models that illustrate the applications in detail: May the focus be on light control in tunnels, lock operation or wind energy – the aim is always to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology via the model. We redesigned five of the models for the trade fair.

PLCnext fair staging 2017

The striking presentation of the Phoenix Contact control hardware formed the heart of the booth. Here, the three main topics ‘Proficloud’, ‘PLCnext Technology’ and ‘PC Worx Engineer’ were combined in front of a backlit pixel wall but also accorded due individual prominence. The functionality of the Proficloud is demonstrated by an animation under an acrylic glass model. There are two different applications for the PLCnext technology: The controller can be used to operate a conveyor belt clock or an attractive lighting installation featuring different colours. Visitors can experience the benefits of the PC Worx Engineer software directly at a staged workstation.
