AI & edge technologies top Hannover Messe 2025 trends
New research from IoT Analytics highlights the top ten industrial technology trends observed at Hannover Messe 2025. IoT Analytics' latest report, based on comprehensive analysis at Hannover Messe 2025, has identified the principal trends influencing the industrial technology landscape. This 111-page research document offers in-depth insights into the state and future direction of industrial automation, driven extensively by the integration of artificial intelligence and advanced digital operations. The prominence of generative artificial intelligence within industrial software was a notable theme, with businesses embedding these capabilities into their digital platforms and manufacturing workflows. The evaluation notes that agentic AI—technology capable of taking actions autonomously—has begun to emerge, though it remains at an early stage of development and adoption. Edge technology also featured strongly among the key trends. Developments in edge-native design are enabling faster, more efficient data processing outside centralised cloud environments, contributing to greater responsiveness and improved operational security within industrial settings. IoT Analytics identifies DataOps platforms as seeing increasing demand, with their role expanding up the technology stack. DataOps helps industrial companies better manage, integrate and operationalise their rapidly growing data resources, aligning collection, processing and insight generation with business objectives. Another important development is the use of digital threads—connected digital records of a product's lifecycle—augmented by artificial intelligence. These are transforming design and engineering practices, allowing greater traceability and optimised decision-making throughout asset and production cycles. Sensors and predictive maintenance are now more tightly integrated. The report observes a shift toward sensor-centric predictive maintenance systems, which are expanding into previously overlooked equipment asset classes, aiming to minimise downtime and enhance reliability. The demand for private 5G networks across industry has risen, driven by the need for secure, scalable and reliable connectivity. However, IoT Analytics notes that integration remains a significant barrier for many organisations, slowing widespread adoption despite clear interest and value. Sustainability efforts are evolving as companies introduce AI frameworks and platforms to track, manage and reduce environmental impact. Artificial intelligence is enabling more targeted approaches and generating actionable sustainability insights for manufacturers and industrial operators. The concept of cognition in robotics is also advancing, with digital twins evolving from static virtual replicas to more dynamic, real-time industrial copilots. These AI-powered tools facilitate adaptive simulations, process planning and augmented production support on the factory floor. "Industrial AI, edge-native architectures, and data-centric operations are the defining industrial technology trends in 2025. In our conversations with dozens of industrial tech vendors, most notably at Hannover Messe 2025, it has become clear that AI now dominates the industrial agenda. Vendors are racing to show meaningful progress, with many already moving beyond generative AI toward agentic workflows and more autonomous systems," Knud Lasse Lueth, Chief Executive Officer at IoT Analytics, said, providing perspective on these findings. "AI is transforming every layer of the industrial technology stack — spanning edge, dataops, software solutions, and cloud. It was clear from Hannover Messe 2025 that every major industrial player is placing bets on AI—not just as an enhancement but as the engine room of their manufacturing strategy. This included applications ranging from copilots and industrial foundation models to AI-native edge stacks and digital twins. However, to unlock the next wave of value from AI, industrial companies must move beyond basic AI assistants and focus towards deeper integration across the technology stack and develop industry-focused AI solutions," Harsha Anand, Senior Analyst at IoT Analytics, stated, expanding on the role of artificial intelligence throughout the sector. IoT Analytics reported an increased presence of edge technologies, DataOps applications, and AI-centred solutions at Hannover Messe, with many organisations demonstrating their current solutions in these areas for the first time. The research also highlights increasing collaboration within the technology ecosystem, as companies seek to accelerate industrial automation progress through partnership and knowledge sharing. The IoT Analytics team, comprised of 20 analysts onsite, collected data and conducted interviews to assess these trends and benchmark them across vendors and sectors. Their event report includes 34 detailed insights and 118 topic or vendor-specific examples, as observed during the event. The identified trends point towards a growing reliance on artificial intelligence as a fundamental operational component as manufacturers and industrial technology providers navigate new strategies for production, asset management, and process optimisation.

TGA Carries Out Over 219,000 Transport Inspections in Makkah, Madinah Ahead of Hajj
The Transport General Authority (TGA), in coordination with relevant entities, has intensified inspection efforts in Makkah and Madinah as part of preparations for the upcoming Hajj season. From the start of Dhu al-Qi'dah to the beginning of Dhu al-Hijjah, TGA teams conducted more than 219,772 inspections of transport services. These inspections led to the detection of over 20,429 violations, with an additional 5,996 violations recorded through automated monitoring systems. The initiative underscores the TGA's commitment to ensuring safe, efficient, and regulation-compliant transportation for pilgrims during Hajj. Violations identified included unlicensed drivers, failure to adhere to official uniform standards, unauthorized passenger transport, and the operation of freight vehicles without valid operating cards. The TGA encourages the public to report complaints or concerns related to transportation services by calling the unified number 19929 or reaching out via the X platform.

Vice Minister of Industry Affairs Inaugurates MS Pharma Biologics in Riyadh
Eng. Khalil Ibrahim Ibn Salamah, Vice Minister of Industry Affairs at the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, inaugurated the MS Pharma biologics manufacturing plant on Thursday during an official tour of Riyadh's 3rd Industrial City. The event also included the launch of several key infrastructure projects aimed at bolstering the Kingdom's industrial capabilities and advancing the localization of strategic sectors. The newly opened MS Pharma facility is the first in Saudi Arabia to produce fully formulated biologic drugs. Covering 3,000 square meters, the plant focuses on the production of treatments for autoimmune diseases, eye disorders, and osteoporosis. The initiative supports the objectives of the National Industrial Strategy by strengthening domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing. During the visit, Eng. Ibn Salamah also inaugurated the 'Montijoon 4' project by Masic Logistics. Spanning 150,000 square meters, the project will offer 156 ready-built factories designed to support SMEs and entrepreneurial industrial initiatives. This tour reflects the ministry's ongoing efforts to foster sustainable industrial growth, promote the localization of high-potential industries, upgrade infrastructure in industrial zones, and deliver integrated support services for innovative manufacturing ventures across Saudi Arabia.
