Together with our partner EMQX, we will be demonstrating at Hannover Messe 2026 how industrial IoT and data projects can be implemented quickly, practically and scalably. The combination of edge-side data acquisition, reliable MQTT communication with EMQX and the IoT platform IoTnova creates an end-to-end architecture for modern manufacturing and assistance scenarios.
Visit us at the stand of our partner EMQX in Hall E25
Here you will experience live how machine and process data from a paint shop is recorded at the edge using industrial protocols, transmitted via MQTT using EMQX and contextualized and visualized in IoTnova. Building on this, we show how this data can be used for AI-supported assistance and analysis applications. This makes it clear how you can network your production and use operational data in a structured, scalable way and with direct added value for operation, maintenance and optimization.

Our keynote speech:
AI-supported assistant on the store floor for reduced downtimes and fast troubleshooting
Industrial AI helps to systematically collect knowledge, link it to machine data and documentation and make it available to employees exactly when it is needed.
To turn the collected information into a usable digital treasure trove of knowledge, the right foundations are needed: trustworthy data, clear governance, guardrails and a clearly defined use case.
Our use case “Digital assistant on the store floor” is particularly tangible here. It has the following advantages:
- Solving faults directly at the machine means fewer queries, fewer service tickets and faster restarts.
- The reduction in downtimes leads to measurably higher system availability and better OEE.
- Expert knowledge available at any time ensures faster onboarding and less dependence on individual specialists.
This transforms Industrial AI from an abstract topic of the future into a very concrete tool for productivity and quality!
Discussions at the table:
Industrial AI you can touch: intelligent store floor support in real time
We show how Industrial AI becomes concrete, tangible and directly usable – from data acquisition and real-time transmission to intelligent recommendations for action on the store floor.
As soon as errors, deviations or alarms occur, our AI-supported IoT solution classifies the situation and supports the employee in near-real time. The right information is available at the right time and in the right place. Instead of wasting time collecting information and analyzing problems, the technical specialists can immediately initiate decisive action steps.
This turns pure data acquisition into concrete benefits for the store floor!
We look forward to a personal meeting!
