From September 8 – 12, 2025 the AEF European Plugfest took place in Harsewinkel – Marienfeld, Germany at Hotelresidence Klosterpforte. The event attracted again a high level of participation. More than 150 attendees tested products in the well-established format which consisted of “speed dating” for ISOBUS ECUs. Also more than 150 visitors attended, in total, 96 companies were represented, more than ever before.

In addition to the normal three-day Plugfest event, two-day High-Speed ISOBUS discovery stations took place as well as TIM testing with 6 TIM servers and 11 TIM clients. For the first time, the AgIN Common Connector was tested too. Also, various project teams scheduled face-to-face meetings during the week and presented current and future activities. Especially the Agricultural Interoperability Network team presented in several meetings the scope to improve interoperability as the key factor for the future.
The beautiful weather and nice location helped to make this record event very memorable.
