Digital Manufacturing Process Planning Excellence at Hannover Messe 2026

The world’s leading industrial technology event is just around the corner, and Siemens Digital Manufacturing will be front and center at Hannover Messe 2026 (April 20–24) in Hall 27.

The future of manufacturing is characterized by collaboration, connectivity, and the power of the Digital Twin. At Siemens, we are excited to demonstrate how Siemens digital manufacturing process planning solutions are transforming the industry, and we invite you to experience it firsthand at our booth at Hannover Messe 2026!

The Digital Thread: Connecting Design and Manufacturing

Manufacturers today face significant pressures—from market fluctuations and sustainability mandates to cybersecurity threats and the complexities of deglobalization. To succeed, companies must re-evaluate production methods, adopt flexible strategies, and implement advanced technologies. This is where Siemens digital manufacturing process planning solutions, built on the robust foundation of Siemens Xcelerator, truly excel.

Central to digital manufacturing process planning is the comprehensive Digital Twin, a dynamic virtual representation of your product and production system. This isn’t merely a static model; it’s the digital thread that seamlessly links functional domains from design to manufacturing.

With Siemens solutions for manufacturing process planning – design, manufacturing, industrial, and simulation engineers and planners operate with the right information in context to their specific functions. Our integrated manufacturing process planning solutions ensure digital continuity throughout the product and production lifecycle, fostering innovation and preparing your operations for the future.

Enhanced Collaboration: Moving Beyond Silos

The traditional divisions between design and manufacturing go away with Siemens digital manufacturing process planning solutions. They ensure stakeholders are working with the right data, in context to their domain. Manufacturing process planning activities can start earlier in the product and production lifecycle, reducing costly downstream errors when work hits the shop floor.

• Integrated MBOM Management: Efficiently manage your Manufacturing BOM (MBOM), ensuring that designs can be produced effectively, and changes to the Engineering BOM (EBOM) are reconciled with the MBOM
• Streamlined BOP Planning, Line Balancing, and Time Analysis: Optimize your Bill of Process planning, converting complex processes into clear, actionable plans, and ensure efficient production flow through integrated line balancing and time analysis. This is particularly valuable for industries like Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) and Consumer Products & Retail (CPR), where rapid product introductions and efficient line utilization are paramount
• Electronic Work Instructions Authoring: Create and manage clear, visual, AR ready electronic work instructions, ensuring that shop floor personnel have the most up-to-date guidance
• Enterprise Recipe Management (ERM): Manage and control manufacturing recipes and formulas centrally, ensuring consistency, compliance, and efficient production across multiple sites
• Accelerated Robotics Engineering and Process Simulation: Design, simulate, and validate robotic workcells and entire production lines with precision and speed to significantly reduce costly rework. For CPG and CPR manufacturers, this means optimizing packaging lines, material handling, and assembly processes to meet high-volume demands
• Human Simulation: Improve ergonomics and worker safety by simulating human interactions within the manufacturing environment
