Automation and artificial intelligence are fundamentally transforming industry and IT infrastructure. At Hannover Messe 2026, it became clear that competitiveness arises where systems are conceived holistically and implemented consistently – under the motto “Automation – Do it”.
The focus was on tried-and-tested system solutions that enable AI-supported processes, accelerate industrial automation and, at the same time, create powerful, secure IT infrastructures. From planning through to operation and scaling – the interaction of all components is crucial.
