AI is embedded in the entire industrial system process.

The 2026 Hannover Industrial Fair will be held at the Hannover Exhibition Center in Germany from April 20th to 24th, local time. As a "barometer" of global industrial development, this year's exhibition will focus on the trend of integration of artificial intelligence and industrial automation, with industrial AI transitioning from demonstrative technology to actual production systems. In the past few years, AI has often appeared as an independent theme at the Hannover Industrial Fair, but this year, the situation has changed. From physical AI to industrial intelligence bodies, and then to the systematization of engineering knowledge, AI is accelerating its embedding into the core processes of manufacturing. What is presented at this year's Hannover Industrial Fair is not only technological displays, but also a microcosm of industrial systems transitioning from "digitization" to "autonomy."
