Event Summary

Schneider Electric and Microsoft are showcasing new milestones in their strategic collaboration at Hannover Messe 2026, focusing on next-generation agentic manufacturing capabilities. Schneider Electric provides the industrial execution backbone with its EcoStruxure Automation Expert platform, while Microsoft extends this with Azure cloud and AI services. This unified approach aims to modernize operations, accelerate engineering, and strengthen resiliency for manufacturers. The joint platform enables a single traceable workflow for automation, reducing design-to-build lead times and improving first-pass yield. An industrial copilot, powered by Azure AI, has already demonstrated up to 50% time savings in control configuration. A successful deployment with H2E Power for green hydrogen production has shown a 10% reduction in the levelized cost of hydrogen.
