Rockwell Automation to Unveil AI-Driven Factory Design at Hannover Messe 2026

Rockwell Automation is set to showcase its innovative AI-orchestrated factory system design at Hannover Messe 2026. This demonstration will highlight how AI can revolutionize industrial automation by orchestrating system design processes. Scheduled to take place at Hall 27, Booth A22, the virtual demonstration will occur in the "AI in Manufacturing" area.

Jordan Reynolds, Rockwell’s Vice President of AI & Autonomy, emphasized the need for shifting from fragmented workflows to autonomous, outcome-driven models. The integration of digital twin technology with platforms like FactoryTalk Design Studio™ aims to bridge gaps in traditional engineering by offering a seamless AI-native workflow.

This novel approach allows engineers to leverage AI not just as a tool, but as an active collaborator, thereby speeding up design iterations and reducing complexity. This initiative promises to shorten engineering cycles, reduce risks, and boost productivity and safety.
