this reason, Siemens will use “Accelerate Transformation” as its motto for
Hannover Messe 2023, where it will be showcasing how new offerings from its open,
digital business platform, Siemens Xcelerator, enable customers’ digital
transformation in industry and infrastructure faster and at scale. Using the
concrete example of an industrial plant for battery production, Siemens will
show how to rapidly transform production facilities to enable manufacturing
operations that are digital from end to end. In addition, the Siemens Digital
Experience Platform enables virtual visits to the Siemens booth – which, at a
total of 2,800 square meters, is Hannover Messe’s largest.
