At Hannover Messe 2026, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will be presenting solutions for a resilient industry: from AI and data rooms to hydrogen technologies and material and recycling innovations.
From sensor handle to sensorless control
At the Hannover Messe, a research team led by Matthias Nienhaus from Saarland University will be demonstrating just how far intelligent drive wheels have come. The systems make it easier to maneuver a wide variety of loads and, depending on the application, can now manage with or even without a sensor handle.

Fruitcore Robotics is launching two new 6-axis industrial robots, the Horst600 G2 and Horst800 G2. The second generation of the Horst platform achieves up to 40 percent shorter cycle times, a doubled payload and a larger workspace.
Reliability has become a rare commodity in recent years. As soon as things start to pick up, the next setback comes. It is striking how selectively we react to uncertainty. Scarce supply increases the price. We experience this in many places and usually accept it. In Germany, the mood is reliably measured by the price of petrol. If it rises, so does the political pulse - we now even have a task force.
Kisters at the Hannover Messe 2026
The protection of design data is becoming increasingly important in cross-company exchange. Today, modern software solutions offer a wide range of technologies to effectively protect 3D CAD data from unauthorized access and reverse engineering.
