Siemens to demonstrate in Hannover how industrial AI is revolutionizing manufacturing
“Industrial
AI will define who leads in industry in the future,” says Roland Busch,
President and CEO of Siemens AG. “That’s why we are building an industrial AI
operating system that brings AI into the real world – from design and
engineering to production and operation. This gives our customers a clear
competitive edge, making them faster, more efficient, and more resilient.”
At Hannover
Messe, Siemens will showcase, in particular, new industrial AI offerings and
projects in the area of robotics, while demonstrating how new technologies can
make supply chains and logistics processes more resilient.
At its
booth, Siemens will also highlight what today’s technology can already deliver and
what could be the everyday reality at factories within a few years.
One focus
this year is the consumer goods industry. Siemens will demonstrate, among other
things, how U.S. food manufacturers Pringles and PepsiCo can launch their
products faster and more reliably by digitalizing their value chains and
leveraging industrial AI to generate value-added from their data. For example, product
specifications will be directly linked to recipes, while logistics, warehousing
and supply chains will be connected and thus fully transparent and traceable. The
Siemens booth will also highlight the pop-up factory – a flexible, modular mini-factory
that can be built directly at the customer and use simulation technology and AI
to respond very quickly to local market changes.
Visitors will
also get an insight into the future of manufacturing. At the Innovation Hub,
they will see how industrial AI is shaping an increasingly autonomous industry.
One example is the flexible production of shoe soles using additive
manufacturing. Users enter their individual customization requests via an AI
chat interface. The AI in the background then coordinates the right design
tools. Production is managed autonomously by AI agents, humanoid robots
transport the shoes through the manufacturing process, and AI-controlled robots
package the finished product.
Data
centers’ massively increasing energy requirements will also be a focus at the
Siemens booth. Today, one in every 100 power plants run solely to support data
centers. By 2030, this number could rise to every 10th power plant. These centers
need efficient, high performance power grids that operate with direct current
(DC). DC power grids enable higher power densities and provide the basis for
next-generation data centers. Renewable energy sources such as solar power and
battery storage can also be integrated into these grids. As a result, operators
will benefit not only from greater efficiency, but also from a more sustainable
and stable energy supply – independently of market volatility. Against this
backdrop, Siemens will present the first semiconductor-based protection and
switching system tailored to the requirements of DC power grids. The technology
protects and switches DC with exceptional speed and precision.
The Siemens
booth at Hannover Messe is No. A48 and will be located in Hall 27 from April 20
to 24, 2026. The company will hold a press conference at the booth starting at
5:45 p.m. on April 20. The conference will also be streamed live on the
internet. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is expected to visit the Siemens
booth in the morning on April 20.
