NVIDIA and its partners said they are demonstrating AI-driven manufacturing in action at HANNOVER MESSE 2026.

The company said that HANNOVER MESSE attendees will experience how advancements in accelerated computing, AI physics, agents and robotics are powering industrial innovation – from agentic design and engineering to real-time simulation, vision AI agents and humanoid robots operating in factories.

The factory of the future isn’t just a concept. It’s being built now.

AI infrastructure is powering Europe’s next industrial era

NVIDIA said that running AI at scale across the factories and supply chains that manufacturing output relies on requires the right underlying infrastructure. As AI becomes foundational to how products, processes and facilities are designed, built and optimized, NVIDIA said that manufacturers need a unified, sovereign foundation that’s secure, scalable and built for industrial scale.

The company said that the Industrial AI Cloud, one of Europe’s largest AI factories built in Germany by Deutsche Telekom on NVIDIA AI infrastructure, is a blueprint for the future. It provides a secure, sovereign foundation for accelerating AI and robotics across Europe’s industries.

At the show, NVIDIA said that industry leaders, including Agile Robots, SAP, Siemens, PhysicsX and Wandelbots, will share how they are using this sovereign AI platform to run AI-accelerated workloads ranging from AI physics-driven, real-time simulation to factory-scale digital twins and software-defined robotics.

Independent engineering service provider EDAG also announced it will be running its industrial metaverse platform, metys, on the Industrial AI Cloud – bringing sovereign AI infrastructure to automotive and industrial engineering at scale.

AI-driven engineering

As industrial systems grow more complex, NVIDIA said that the software that engineers rely on to design, simulate and test them is being transformed with AI physics and agentic AI to keep pace. At Hannover Messe, NVIDIA and its partners are showcasing how AI-accelerated design and simulation is unlocking new possibilities.

Companies that are integrating NVIDIA CUDA-X, AI physics and NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, as well as NVIDIA Nemotron open models, across their software include:

• Cadence
• Dassault Systèmes
• Siemens
• Synopsys

NVIDIA said that these integrations enable real-time, physics-grounded simulation, AI-powered design exploration and agentic workflows that empower engineers.

Real-time factory simulation

NVIDIA said that factory-scale digital twins are critical for unlocking process simulation, real-time operations, and the testing and orchestration of robot fleets. At HANNOVER MESSE, NVIDIA partners across manufacturing, energy and automotive are showing how digital twins, built on Omniverse libraries and OpenUSD, enable their customers to design, stress-test and continuously optimize their operations.

ABB will showcase how the integration of NVIDIA Omniverse libraries and Microsoft Azure cloud services into its ABB Genix Industrial IoT and AI Suite enables operations teams to understand asset performance in full context and engage AI agents to accelerate root-cause analysis.

Dassault Systèmes will demonstrate how AI-driven factories of the future are powered by virtual twin experiences. Attendees will see how these virtual twins harness NVIDIA physical AI libraries to enable autonomous, software-defined production and smarter, agile manufacturing systems.
