Process automation

Process Automation , formerly Interkama ⁺ ( Inter national K ongress with A xhibition for M Test & Measurement and A utomatik) is a major international exhibition for process automation (formerly measurement, control and regulation technology , abbreviated MSR technology rarely, process automation, English Process Control).

Interkama ⁺ offered a comprehensive overview of products and services for the automation of process engineering plants:

Measuring devices , e.g. B. Pressure transducers , temperature sensors ( Pt 100 , thermocouples ), flow meters , level measuring devices
Control devices , e.g. B. control valves , butterfly valves , frequency converters for pumps and fans
Process control systems
Planning , assembly and commissioning ( plant construction )

It took place from 1957 to 2003 in Düsseldorf as an independent trade fair and from 2004 became part of the Hanover trade fair .

In 2010 it was renamed Process Automation and became one of the three trade fairs for industrial automation technology of the leading trade fair Industrial Automation at the Hanover Fair.

In 2018, the annual Industrial Automation (IA) was merged with the biennial Motion, Drive & Automation (MDA).
