Opcenter MES — Driving the next wave of manufacturing modernization at Hannover Messe 2026
Join Siemens at Hannover Messe 2026 as we bring the promise of Industrial AI out of the lab and into the factory floor. We’ll show how Siemens is uniquely positioned to deliver industrial‑grade AI end‑to‑end across the entire value chain — from design and engineering to operations and service.
This is more than an innovation showcase: it’s a concrete invitation to see how AI, Digital Twins and software‑defined technologies combine to unlock productivity, resilience and faster time to value.
Overview
Today’s industrial leaders face talent shortages, supply constraints, rising energy costs and increasing geopolitical and operational complexity. At the show we’ll demonstrate how industrial intelligence addresses these pressures head‑on — accelerating innovation, improving resource efficiency, shortening production cycles and enabling the move toward unattended and autonomous operations. Expect real customer stories and live examples that illustrate measurable benefits: fewer delays, higher throughput, better asset utilization and more predictable outcomes.
At our Hannover Messe presence you’ll find hands‑on demos, expert briefings and sessions that connect strategy to execution. See how Digital Threads link engineering to manufacturing, how AI augments operators and planners, and how integrated software and automation enable self‑optimizing plants and infrastructure.
Whether you’re exploring smarter product development, resilient supply chains or autonomous energy and building management, our specialists will be on hand to tailor the conversation to your use case.
Opcenter MES
Join us on the Hannover Messe stage for a targeted, practical conversation about how Opcenter MES is driving the next wave of manufacturing modernization. As manufacturers grapple with talent shortages, cost pressures, sustainability targets and the demand for ever-faster innovation, this panel will cut through the hype and show how a cloud‑ready, modular MES transforms operations — from the shop floor to the enterprise. Expect a candid discussion about real-world challenges, concrete modernization patterns, and the business outcomes companies can achieve when software, automation and industrial AI come together.
Our panel brings together Siemens product and industry experts alongside strategic partners (including Deloitte) to explore the critical topics that matter for MES decisions today: the evolution from legacy Opcenter Execution Core to Opcenter MES, practical modernization roadmaps for brownfield sites, cloud‑native and hybrid deployment trade‑offs, governance for multi-environment landscapes, and the measurable business value behind TCO and dynamic scaling. We’ll also tackle technical enablers — high‑velocity data architectures and Insights Hubs, IoT–MES convergence using standards like OPC UA/MQTT, monitoring and secure observability with OpenTelemetry, and the role of AI (from Information Assistant to Execution Copilot) in augmenting operators and automating decisions.
We’ll also give the audience a playbook for scale: how to decide which workloads belong in SaaS, VPC or on‑prem; governance models that keep distributed environments aligned; security and vulnerability‑management practices that fit continuous delivery; and practical guidance on staffing, organizational roles and training to make modernization stick. Deloitte will contribute their Smart Factory “journey” perspective — who to start with, which use cases repeatedly deliver value, and how to avoid pilot purgatory when moving from PoC to network‑wide rollout.
Whether you’re evaluating a first modern MES pilot or scaling across dozens of sites, this panel is designed to give you actionable insight and next steps you can take straight back to the plant.
