SINDEX is the leading Swiss trade fair for industrial automation with the guiding theme "Innovation in dialogue". It was held from 31 August to 02 September 2021 onsite in Bern, Switzerland.

The industry's most important meeting place shows trends, innovations and key technologies of tomorrow, covering both individual components and complete solutions. After the pandemic break, SINDEX was held hybrid, with an attractive supporting program on Sindex TV. On the first day of the fair, the main topic was "Cyber security", on the second day "Artificial Intelligence" and the third day "Predictive maintenance".

Microdul AG and AMANDA project were represented by Jörg Markwalder, CEO/Sales & Marketing Manager and Adrian Stalder, Sales Engineer. Although the SINDEX 2021 was significantly smaller than the previous one, the three-day trade fair on the BERNEXPO site gathered 120 exhibitors and more than 3,800 visitors. The AMANDA project presentation was available to those interested and was shown on a laptop at the MICRODUL's booth. What are the main challenges faced by the project partners, possible applications of the AMANDA Autonomous Smart Sensing Card, the technology used, as well as the advantages over existing products on the market, are just some of the answers you could find out at the three-day trade fair.
