The new office, which will offer direct support for the Asia-Pacific region, is led by Neil Chen, who has been appointed as the managing director of Critical Manufacturing in Taiwan.
Conventional condition-monitoring systems detect bearing damage only after wear such as pitting or material loss has already occurred. HCP Sense takes a decisive step further: instead of monitoring the consequences of damage, the technology identifies its root causes at a very early stage. By directly detecting critical lubrication conditions before physical damage occurs, premature bearing failures can be actively prevented.

The industrial group receives this coveted innovation prize in recognition of its platform for highly integrated actuators. An independent jury chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer Society, selected the winner from among three nominated companies. The award was presented by Dorothee Bär, Federal Minister for Research, Technology and Space, during the official opening of HANNOVER MESSE on April 19, 2026, in the presence of Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
More and more mobile robots are finding their way into industry. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), a total of 200,000 service robots were sold worldwide in 2024. 51% of this were robots for transport and logistics. Wherever human interaction, variable processes or frequent changes of location are required, humanoid robots are seen as a promising technology. In real life, however, their use often fails due to high investment costs and complex integration.
The ifm group has announced its financial results for the successful 2025 fiscal year.
We spoke to Travis Cox (Chief Technology Evangelist, Inductive Automation). He has been with the company since 2004, connecting industry experts, promoting innovation and open standards, and showcasing the capabilities of the Ignition platform.
The conservation organization Project Seagrass and Tandem Ventures have joined forces to design, develop, build, and test an underwater harvesting machine. Onshape enables the team to collaborate in real time, even from a boat.
The development of AI models in joint projects yields improved results because multiple companies contribute their data. The situation becomes critical, however, if a partner withdraws and requests the return of its data. With federated unlearning, Fraunhofer researchers and Fujitsu Research have developed a method for precisely removing data from decentralized AI models.
The integration of physical AI marks a paradigm shift in the manufacturing industry. It directly links AI models with deterministic control technology.
Brady Corporation, a worldwide specialist in industrial identification, launches a range of new industrial barcode readers that achieve 99.995% reading accuracy.
3D printing in companies is booming. Design engineers are printing special components and wear-resistant parts themselves without further ado. However, the projects stand or fall on the quality of the printing material, warns Jonas Burk, Head of Additive Manufacturing at igus. The fact that 3D printing with high-performance polymers from igus is worthwhile is not only proven by the service life tests. Customers can also manufacture their products more economically and faster than injection moulding.
An independent jury comprising top-class experts from political and business communities, research, and the media, chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer Society, has nominated three companies selected from the numerous submissions for the HERMES AWARD. The winner will be announced at the official opening ceremony of HANNOVER MESSE on April 19, 2026. The Federal Minister of Research, Technology and Space, Dorothee Bär, will present the award.
Collaboration to develop future-proof and highly efficient power distribution solutions
Ritchey-Chrétien (RC) telescope optics for high precision surveillance applications
With HANNOVER MESSE 2026, fron April 20 to 24, artificial intelligence (AI) in industry becomes tangible. In a practical and application-oriented way, the trade fair demonstrates how manufacturing companies can profitably use AI. With a consistent AI focus, the fair shows how today’s challenges can be transformed into concrete competitive advantages – while offering companies and visitors even greater orientation and value.
Danube Dynamics and Aspöck Systems automate complex lamp inspections using adaptive AI and IDS industrial cameras to ensure accuracy, flexibility and full traceability under real production conditions.
Reactive robotics has delivered enormous efficiency gains for industry. But the technology is reaching its economic limits: systems that only respond to the current state scale speed – but not stability. As process complexity grows, small misjudgements lead to costly downtime. Sereact is now introducing Cortex 2.0, a new generation of AI that evaluates the consequences of actions in advance and eliminates errors before they occur. The economic potential is immense.
The Industrial Security Circus in Hall 26 will be the central platform for cyber security at HANNOVER MESSE 2026. It brings together leading experts, innovative solution providers, and users to bring current threats, practical protection concepts, and the future of industrial cyber security to life.
