Hydrogen can be used in many ways as an energy source for industry and heavy goods transport, making it a key factor in transforming the energy supply. In addition to being produced from renewable energies, its availability is also crucial. IO-Link sensors from JUMO enable the rapid implementation and safe operation of a modular concept for hydrogen production. Author: Alexander Hof, Senior Product Manager Connectivity, JUMO
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.
