Deloitte at Hannover Messe 2025

Join Deloitte at Hannover Messe, the world’s largest international industrial gathering, to learn how we are working with business and operational leaders from the factory floor to C-suite, to help build connected, digitally enabled operations that drive value. Explore our cutting-edge solutions and network of smart factories that use technologies like Generative AI to help create data-driven decision making.

Making manufacturers the world's smartest organizations

 

Smart organizations are fueled by data—and by combining data with technology and human experience, Deloitte helps organizations work smarter. We draw on a broad ecosystem of technology collaborators to develop innovative solutions that align digital technologies with strategic priorities. In the face of today’s challenges—from supply chain disruptions and escalating costs to geopolitical uncertainty—we help manufacturers focus on operational enhancements that can help improve efficiency, lower costs, reduce waste, and increase productivity.

    Demos and solutions

    Deloitte’s live demo at Hannover Messe 2025 will feature a lab-sized manufacturing line for discrete assembly, showcasing how these technologies can help manufacturers overcome current challenges and build a software-defined factory of the future. Below are a few of the demos we will present at the event:
    • Concept: Software-defined automation involves building a holistic solution stack for the scope of a Smart Factory; from virtualized PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) to AI on the edge to cloud-based insights platforms.
    • Benefits: This approach helps bring the industrial automation stack to the current age and can allow for easier adoption of state-of-the-art software delivery patterns, such as CI/CD and automated testing, helping to make the factory more adaptable and responsive to changes.
    • Use case: The use case will show how these software delivery patterns are put into action, deploying updates to virtualized PLCs remotely through an industrial edge management system.
    • Concept: As factories become more connected and software-defined, they may be increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats.
    • Benefits: It is important to build security into the factory shopfloor from the beginning. This includes conducting automatic scans to identify devices on the shop floor, understanding their communication with third parties, and assessing potential vulnerabilities.
    • Use case: The OT security vulnerability management framework helps identify the status of devices and potential threats, helping to ensure a secure operational environment.
    • Concept: The convergence of IT and OT is important for automating workflows on the shop floor. Standardizing services such as onboarding machines to analytics and AI solutions and developing automations around these services, can help support achieving a higher adoption rate of these solutions.
    • Benefits: Well-scoped and automated processes can significantly improve usage of digital manufacturing services; typically leading to a positive feedback loop of solution usage and quality.
    • Use Case: This use case will show how a machine can be automatically onboarded from an Excel file through Generative AI.
    • Concept: Modern and agile product development may require continuous iteration based on real performance data in production and operation. Processing that data, finding concerns and formulating insights can be a complex and time-consuming process that can be significantly improved through GenAI agents.
    • Benefits: Faster iteration cycles and more data-driven decision-making can lead to better products and reduced cost of maintenance/operation on the client.
    • Use Case: Service cases created by field technicians are analyzed and clustered by a GenAI agent. When systematic concerns are identified, the agent automatically creates a problem report in the system.
    • Concept: This approach involves continuous monitoring of machine condition data (like temperature, vibration, and pressure) and maintenance history, using algorithms to detect deviations from normal operating patterns. When anomalies are detected, the system can forecast the likelihood of future failures, helping to enable proactive maintenance planning through both actionable insights and action recommendations.
    • Benefits: By predicting equipment failures before they occur, companies can schedule maintenance during off-peak hours, thereby minimizing operational disruptions. This can extend the lifespan of the equipment and optimize the use of maintenance resources to help improve overall operational efficiency.
    • Use Case: The combined data from existing and retrofitted sensors on our manufacturing line serves and a well-maintained catalog of asset documentation serves as the foundation for GenAI-based operator guidance systems for maintenance planning and optimization.
    • Concept: Vehicles are increasingly becoming software-defined, with many functionalities controlled by software rather than mechanical components.
    • Benefit: Managing software updates and versions is important for vehicle safety and performance. This includes over-the-air updates and monitoring the software status of each vehicle.
    • Use case: This use case demonstrates how to manage the software landscape for vehicles, helping to ensure proper integration, versioning, and security.
