About PI
PROFIBUS & PROFINET International (PI) is the world’s leading industry association, the active Community for the standardization and dissemination of industrial communication and information technologies, a core topic of digitalization, automation and Industry 4.0.
With its core technologies PROFIBUS, PROFINET, IO-Link and omlox, PI is responsible for the development of its market-leading, open standards for all fields of application in industrial manufacturing. PI achieves this goal with its 24 regional PI associations (RPAs), all of which are members of the international umbrella organization PI, and their 1,700 members.
PI is continuously expanding its technology portfolio for the discrete manufacturing industry, the process industry and other sectors.
Both Process and Discrete Manufacturing enterprises have to stay competitive in today’s global marketplace. That means automating as many production processes as possible, and linking them effectively to IT management systems so that timely and useful data reaches the right places fast, letting managers make the decisions that lead to ‘results’.
Since 1989, PI (PROFIBUS & PROFINET International) has been supporting that vision with the best automation technology available.
PROFIBUS and PROFINET International (PI) is the largest automation community in the world and responsible for PROFIBUS and PROFINET, the two most important enabling technologies in automation today.
The common interest of our global network of vendors, developers, System Integrators and end users covering all industries lies in promoting, supporting and using PROFIBUS and PROFINET.
Regionally and globally about 1,700 member companies are working closely together to the best automation possible. No other fieldbus organization in the world has the same kind of global influence and reach. That´s why PROFIBUS and PROFINET are world leaders in industrial networking.
