From September 14 to 18, 2026, the international agricultural machinery industry gathered in Bologna for the AEF European Plugfest. Once again, b-plus participated as a Bronze Sponsor, contributing its long-standing expertise in ISOBUS technologies to the event.
Bologna, September 2026
The Plugfest is one of the industry's most important events for the further development and quality assurance of ISOBUS applications. Manufacturers, developers, and industry experts use this opportunity to test their solutions under real-world conditions and further optimize interoperability between tractors, implements, and software components.
This year, more than 300 ISOBUS specialists took part. Over 3,500 test slots were completed by Thursday evening, covering a wide range of compatibility and functional tests. Nearly 50 servers and 70 clients participated in the various ISOBUS interoperability tests.
As a long-standing member of the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF), b-plus has been participating in Plugfests for many years. Our experts use the event to evaluate the latest developments in ISOBUS technology, exchange practical experiences with international manufacturers and continuously enhance the interoperability of our solutions. The insights gained are directly incorporated into our development projects, helping our customers implement reliable and AEF-compliant ISOBUS solutions.
As a Bronze Sponsor, b-plus was represented throughout the Plugfest with a sponsor booth. Visitors had the opportunity to learn more about our ISOBUS expertise, engineering services, and solutions for mobile automation and modern agricultural machinery.
Every year, the AEF European Plugfest provides a valuable platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange among manufacturers, developers and ISOBUS experts. We would like to thank the Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation (AEF) for organizing this important event, as well as all participants for the numerous tests, open technical discussions and inspiring conversations in Bologna.
