- Hannover Messe: Siemens booth A48 in Hall 27, April 20–24, 2026; press conference April 20 at 17:45 and German Chancellor expected the morning of April 20
- Pringles and PepsiCo are using digitalized value chains and industrial AI to link product specifications to recipes and enable traceable logistics for faster, more reliable launches
- Siemens will demo a pop-up modular mini-factory and autonomous production workflows including AI-driven design coordination, AI agents managing production, humanoid transport robots, and AI-controlled packaging
- Data centers now require power equivalent to 1% of power plants and could reach 10% by 2030; Siemens will present a semiconductor-based protection and switching system tailored for high-density DC power grids
Overview
Siemens will showcase industrial AI and digital-twin applications at Hannover Messe, demonstrating use across design, engineering, production and operation to boost innovation, productivity and resource efficiency.
Consumer‑goods and modular production
Case studies with Pringles and PepsiCo show digitalized value chains that link product specifications to recipes and connect logistics and warehousing for end‑to‑end traceability and faster product launches; Siemens will also demo a pop‑up modular mini‑factory using simulation and AI to adapt rapidly to local market changes.
Autonomous manufacturing demo
An Innovation Hub exhibit will show flexible additive production of customized shoe soles: users submit requests via an AI chat interface, AI coordinates design tools, AI agents manage production, humanoid robots move parts and AI‑controlled robots handle packaging.
Data centers and DC power grids
With data‑center power demand rising (currently ~1% of power‑plant output and projected to possibly reach ~10% by 2030), Siemens highlights the case for high‑density DC grids that integrate renewables and battery storage and will present a semiconductor‑based protection and switching system designed for fast, precise DC protection and switching.
Event details
Siemens booth A48 in Hall 27 runs April 20–24, 2026; a press conference is scheduled April 20 at 17:45 (streamed live) and the German Chancellor is expected to visit that morning.
