AWS for Manufacturing at Hannover Messe 2026

Run Your First Manufacturing Agentic Use Case: Live Multi-Agent System Demo | Tuesday, April 21 @ 11:15–11:35 AM |
Hall 26, Solution Lab (E43), Expert Stage 1

Speakers: Christophe Renard and Mourad Alia, Sr Partner Solution Architects at AWS

Discover how AI agents can autonomously monitor equipment and manage maintenance operations in this live demo. We’ll dive deep into real-world agentic AI systems built with Kiro that detect anomalies, diagnose root causes, and orchestrate maintenance responses - without human intervention. Watch as we explore a Gearbox Press monitoring scenario where purpose-built agents collaborate to analyze sensor data (torque, vibration, temperature) in real-time, identify issues like lubrication failure or bearing wear, and automatically create prioritized maintenance work orders in the CMMS system. Join us to learn how you can build and deploy agentic AI systems to unlock new levels of operational efficiency and agility.

Navigate Digital Sovereignty Complexity | Monday, April 20 @ 3:10 – 3:30 PM | Hall 26, Solution Lab (E43), Expert Stage 1

Speaker: Mustafa Isik, Chief Technologist Sovereignty at AWS

Whether you're migrating to the cloud for the first time or modernizing your applications to take advantage of cloud services, meeting evolving sovereignty needs is essential. Organizations across the public sector and highly regulated industries are facing increasing complexity meeting digital sovereignty requirements as the landscape continues to evolve. Join this talk to learn about the recently-launched AWS European Sovereign Cloud, a new independent cloud for Europe. Discover how the AWS European Sovereign Cloud to was designed to meet stringent regulatory, data residency, and operational needs. Gain insight into the architecture, governance structure, and operational model of the AWS European Sovereign Cloud.
 

From Data to Decarbonization: AI-Powered Emissions Modeling Across Manufacturing Value Chains | Wednesday, April 22 @ 12:05 - 12:15 PM | Hall 12, Stand F56 – Expert Stage

Speakers: Jonas Bürkel, Senior Solutions Architect

To meet emerging sustainability regulations and transparency requirements around the globe, manufacturers are challenged to both acquire trusted, high-quality emissions data across complex value chains and efficiently model their carbon footprint. Discover how leading manufacturers are addressing these challenges using generative AI automation and governed data-sharing platforms. In this session, we'll explore how Amazon Science is using generative AI to automate sustainability measurement processes at scale for Amazon.com and share how companies are building data platforms that enable governed sharing of confidential sustainability data across supply chains.

Accelerate data insights with agentic data exploration | Monday, April 20 @ 3:30-4:30 PM | Exhibition grounds, Solution Lab Automation & Digitalization (Hall 26 Booth E43), Masterclass Room 1

Speakers: AWS Solutions Architects, Rob Sable and Shawn Justice

Manufacturers need insights to drive their business forward. But when critical data is scattered across disconnected silos, finding those insights can require weeks of tedious ETL operations and data preparation. Agentic Data Exploration changes the game, using AI agents to automate analysis across disparate sources and deliver the near real-time insights you need to make critical decisions. Join us to learn how you can use Amazon Bedrock Agents to develop multi-agent workflows that can connect and analyze disparate data sources including structured databases, analytics exports, unstructured text, multimedia, and APIs. Discover practical implementation patterns for different data types, orchestrating specialized AI agents for distributed problem-solving, and reducing analysis timeframes from months to minutes while maintaining governance standards.

Automate Inventory Rebalancing with Agentic AI | Tuesday, April 21, 2026 @ 4:45 –05:45 PM | Exhibition Grounds, Hall 12, F56 Masterclass Room

Speaker: Sebastian Collins, Sr. Industry Solutions Architect at AWS

Supply chains face universal challenges: demand volatility, inventory imbalances, and the need for rapid decision-making. This masterclass demonstrates how agentic AI—autonomous AI agents that reason, plan, and execute multi-step tasks—can transform supply chain operations with decision-support and automation. Discover how to build intelligent supply chain agents and implement tool-based architectures that connect to production schedules, BOM data, and supplier systems. Experience autonomous multi-step reasoning that enables seamless transfer order creation for inventory management. Learn proven strategies for scaling agentic AI from proof-of-concept to production-ready solutions.

From Shop Floor Control to Physical AI: Bridging Industrial Connectivity and Intelligent Automation | Thursday, April 21, 2026 @ 11 AM – 12 PM | Exhibition grounds, Solution Lab Automation & Digitalization (Hall 26 Booth E43), Masterclass Room 1

Speakers: Jan Metzner - Principle Solutions Architect at AWS, Fabrizio Manfredi - Principle Cloud Architect

Leading manufacturers are evolving from utilizing traditional shop floor control systems to modern agentic architectures that enable Physical AI. Discover practical steps you can take to make this change, starting with contemporary approaches to industrial connectivity that integrate machines, processes, and inner processes through standardized protocols and interfaces. Learn how local and remote AI agents can integrate within these manufacturing environments, creating cyber-physical interfaces that bridge the gap between physical equipment and software control layers. By implementing this abstraction layer, we’ll demonstrate how AI agents can control physical processes and machines, opening new possibilities for adaptive, autonomous manufacturing systems that respond intelligently to changing production requirements and optimization opportunities. 

Build to Win: AI-driven Re-industrialization | Monday, April 20 @ 10:20 - 10:35 PM | Hall 26, Booth E43 - Spotlight Stage

Speakers: Joseph Rosing, Head of Smart Manufacturing & Supply Chain CoE, Automotive & Manufacturing

To gain a competitive advantage in today's manufacturing landscape, companies must embrace AI-driven re-industrialization. Modern manufacturers require the ability to perceive, respond, and re-optimize operations at a scale and speed that exceeds human capability alone. In this session, we’ll share examples of how Amazon and industry leaders have rapidly transformed operations through a process-driven approach to deploying AI—increasing throughput with higher quality yields, shorter lead times, and optimized costs. The session will include a demo of how a control tower can be used to observe and integrate agents across manufacturing and supply chain use cases.
