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 Industrial Security Harmonization Group (ISHG) will present these insights during its session at Hannover Messe 2026, offering guidance to industry stakeholders on how to effectively secure industrial communication systems in practice. Registration to take part in the event, live at the HANNOVER MESSE or online is open.

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.
High machine availability is enabled by the integrated IO-Link interface, which provides access to sensor parameters, diagnostics and process data.
