NODKA at SPS 2026: Edge AI, Open Automation & Industrial HMIs
At SPS 2026 in Nuremberg, NODKA will present its industrial portfolio across three connected layers: field operator interfaces, open automation control in the cabinet, and edge AI computing for vision and robotics. You will find us at Hall 7, Booth 7-397 from November 24-26, 2026.
At the booth, our team will demonstrate how these layers work together to meet diverse industrial demands, from reliable field operations in harsh environments to high-performance AI vision inspection.
Intuitive Operator Interfaces for Field-Level Control
For field-level operations, ICP series arm-mounted panel PCs are built for clarity, intuition, and safety. Rather than just a standard touchscreen, the front panel directly integrates physical function buttons, RAFI selector switches, and an emergency-stop (E-stop) button. This dual-mode interaction allows operators to execute critical commands instantly without navigating through software menus or looking away from the machine. Additionally, a built-in UPS ensures data integrity and safe shutdown during sudden power loss, while the front-facing IP65 protection and fanless design keep the unit reliable at the workstation.
For hygiene-sensitive environments, the WP series uses robust 304/316 stainless-steel enclosures rated to IP69K. Designed specifically for high-pressure washdown applications in food and pharmaceutical production, all external connections utilize M12 waterproof connectors, eliminating weak points against moisture. They operate reliably from -20°C to +60°C, ensuring continuous operation during rigorous daily cleaning.
Open Automation Control Built for Vision and SCADA Integration
The iPAC series is a modular, open automation control platform designed for system integrators. Built on EtherCAT and fully compatible with CODESYS, it delivers deterministic, low-jitter motion control and real-time data exchange. iPAC can act as an Edge Node running an embedded OPC UA server, seamlessly connecting field I/O to SCADA systems like Ignition. An integrated industrial super-capacitor UPS provides over 15 seconds of backup power, protecting critical control data during unexpected outages.
Edge AI Computing: From Frame Grabbers to Embodied AI
For machine vision and deep learning workloads, the AIPC-3000 series is engineered as a dedicated Vision IPC. The platform supports PCIe x16 GPU expansion and is optimized for heavy vision workloads, such as running Camera Link frame grabbers (e.g., Active Silicon) alongside powerful GPUs. The AQ6-6L model supports graphics cards up to 300mm with a 750W power supply, providing the necessary compute density for advanced visual inspections.
For cutting-edge embodied AI and robotics, the AP-6121 leverages Intel Core Ultra processors (integrated NPU + Arc GPU) to deliver up to 180 TOPS. It features 8×GMSL2 ports for multi-depth-camera input and supports ROS2. It acts as a compact, standalone brain for robotic arms and AMRs, enabling local, real-time perception and decision-making without cloud reliance.
