SENSOR+TEST Nuremberg

SENSOR+TEST is the world’s leading trade fair for sensor, measuring, and testing technology. It is held annually at the NürnbergMesse exhibition center in Nuremberg, Germany. Since its inception in 1982, the event has established itself as a key meeting point for professionals and companies engaged in technological advancements in industrial sensing and measurement. The name SENSOR+TEST represents not only a wide range of sensor solutions and testing procedures, but also the close integration of research, development, and practical application in quality assurance and process monitoring.

The fair is organized by AMA Service GmbH, a subsidiary of the AMA Association for Sensors and Measurement, which specializes in hosting high-level technical events. Each year, SENSOR+TEST attracts thousands of trade visitors and exhibitors from around the world – including developers, engineers, researchers, and decision-makers from sectors such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, mechanical engineering, and medical technology. The focus lies on cutting-edge topics like Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT), smart systems, automation, calibration technologies, and condition monitoring.

A particular highlight is the accompanying SMSI – Sensor and Measurement Science International Conference. It explores, with scientific depth, key topics such as novel sensor materials, AI-based data evaluation methods, and advanced measuring technologies for connected systems. The exhibition program is enriched by expert forums, technology showcases, and networking formats that foster targeted knowledge transfer between research and industry. Two thematic focal points – “Innovative Calibration” and “Condition Monitoring” – offer dedicated presentation areas, best-practice talks, and interactive sessions, creating an exclusive platform for innovation and exchange.

Exhibits at SENSOR+TEST include sensor elements, complete sensor systems, measurement components, calibration solutions, software applications, and customized testing and analysis platforms for a wide range of industrial uses. The choice of Nuremberg as the venue is deliberate – the city is recognized as a center of technology and innovation, with an excellent infrastructure and a long-standing tradition in measurement and testing.

The NürnbergMesse site impresses with its state-of-the-art facilities, international connectivity, and easy access by car, train, or plane. It offers ideal conditions for in-depth technical discussions, productive business relationships, and a forward-looking view into technological advancements. SENSOR+TEST is more than just a trade fair – it is a vital source of inspiration for the entire world of industrial sensing and measurement.

On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 3 days of the fair, from 09. May to 11. May 2023, about 338 exhibitors and 5138 visitors on the SENSOR+TEST in Nuremberg.

The SENSOR+TEST takes place annually, and therefore for the twenty-seventh time previsibly in May 2026 in Nuremberg.
