For four days, from March 30 to April 2, 2026, Global Industrie transforms the fairground in Paris Nord Villepinte into the largest factory in France.
We spoke with Dr. Jochen Köckler, CEO of Deutsche Messe AG, about the upcoming HANNOVER MESSE (April 20–24).
Versatile communication options & high reliability
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.
As the largest foreign exhibitor at Embedded World 2026 in Nuremberg from March 10 to 12, Taiwan will present a broad range of AI-driven innovations in electronics and computing.
Highly efficient drives for reduce energy and resource consumption
Advanced real-time production monitoring and digital manufacturing optimization
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.
As the robotics sector steadily moves from science fiction to factory floor, a new generation of humanoid robots is emerging to reshape industry, healthcare, and daily life.

A high-caliber panel of robotics experts has announced the nominees for the coveted ROBOTICS AWARD 2026. The award honors companies driving groundbreaking advances in industrial development with their innovative robot assisted solutions in the fields of automation and logistics. Three companies particularly impressed the jury and made it onto the shortlist.
Exclusive software partnership for optimized motor sizing
Früchte Jork GmbH from Baden-Württemberg, Germany – a family-run fresh food wholesaler – has reached an important milestone: Its new, fully automated deep-freeze warehouse is in operation. What may look like ‘just’ another high-bay warehouse to outsiders is a quantum leap for the company: faster order picking, optimized processes and significantly improved working conditions for employees. The project was implemented by the intralogistics experts at Klinkhammer Intralogistics GmbH.
Versatile universal display for use with incremental and absolute encoders
The World Advanced Manufacturing & Future Mobility Exhibition (WAM Morocco) makes its debut in Casablanca from 20 to 22 January, positioning itself as the region’s first Industry 4.0–focused platform dedicated to advanced and intelligent manufacturing
The annual report published by the IFR (International Federation of Robotics) highlights the most important trends for robotics and automation in 2026.
For more resistant and durable aluminium drives in harsh environments
Dr. Jochen Peter to become CEO on March 1, 2026, Dr. Steffen Haack remains on management board and focuses on engineering
Agricultural autonomy isn’t just about removing the driver; it’s about creating intelligent machines capable of locating themselves, interpreting their surroundings, and acting in real-time, even under challenging conditions.
Full electric design ensures fast cycles with high repeatability
At the press conference for the international trade press at SPS in Nuremberg, Ulrich Leidecker announced changes to company policy to ensure continued innovation and competitiveness in the market.

Beyond the data-driven efficiencies of Industry 4.0, a new paradigm is emerging for manufacturers across every industry: Industry 5.0. This next evolution emphasizes a human-centric, resilient, and sustainable approach, calling for a more symbiotic relationship between human workers and intelligent machines.
When it comes to the world of motion control, it’s easy to take your feedback device for granted. After all, it’s a small part of the system and is typically tucked inside the motor housing, out of sight and out of mind. However, the impact this seemingly minor component has on a system’s accuracy, performance, reliability, and ease of integration is hard to overstate.
Siemens launches a one-stop security platform for managing communication connections in OT networks. With virtualized network structures it protects shop floor devices from targeted attacks and unauthorized access.
Automated packaging, which increases machine speed, helps to address labour shortages in packaging lines.
