NVIDIA is using Hannover Messe to demonstrate how AI-driven manufacturing is moving from concept to factory floor.
The company and its partners are presenting accelerated computing, AI physics, agentic workflows and robotics across live factory and simulation demos at the German trade fair.
Sovereign AI as a European blueprint
Manufacturers face growing pressure to increase output while managing tighter constraints, and NVIDIA argues they need secure, sovereign AI foundations to do it.
The company pointed to the Industrial AI Cloud built by Deutsche Telekom on NVIDIA infrastructure as a blueprint for Europe.
Partners including Agile Robots, SAP, Siemens, PhysicsX and Wandelbots are showing how they run AI-accelerated workloads on the sovereign platform, from real-time physics simulation to factory-scale digital twins.
EDAG will run its industrial metaverse platform metys on the Industrial AI Cloud.
Hardware vendors Dell Technologies, IBM, Lenovo and PNY are showcasing NVIDIA-accelerated systems for edge and data centre deployments.
Digital twins and agentic engineering
Software and simulation vendors Cadence, Dassault Systèmes, Siemens and Synopsys are integrating NVIDIA CUDA-X, AI physics, Omniverse libraries and Nemotron models for real-time, physics-grounded design and agentic engineering workflows.
Digital twin demonstrations use Omniverse libraries and OpenUSD.
ABB, Dassault Systèmes, Kongsberg Digital, Microsoft and Siemens are showing integrations that link live operations data, AI agents and simulation for diagnostics, optimisation and autonomous production.
Vision AI hits the factory floor
Invisible AI's Vision Execution System uses the Metropolis VSS Blueprint with Cosmos Reason 2 and Nemotron models.
It has been applied in large automotive factories including Toyota.
Tulip Interfaces' Factory Playback combines VSS and Cosmos for synchronised telemetry and video.
Terex expects a 3% yield increase and 10% rework reduction from the technology.
