# Mobile Robots, Industrial AI and Virtual Twins: Dassault Systèmes Builds the Factory of the Future at Hannover Messe ![Hannover Messe > Dassault Systèmes](https://www.3ds.com/assets/invest/2026-04/hannover-messe.png) [![Hannover Messe > Dassault Systèmes](https://www.3ds.com/assets/invest/2026-04/hannover-messe-key-visual-newsroom.png)](https://www.3ds.com/assets/invest/2026-04/hannover-messe-key-visual-newsroom.png) At Hannover Messe from April 20-24, 2026, Dassault Systèmes will showcase how artificial intelligence, virtual twins and virtual companions are transforming the future of industrial automation, enabling manufacturers to build smarter, safer, more agile and efficient factories that can learn and adapt to changing market demands and supply chain volatility. In hall 14, stand H74, manufacturing decision-makers will discover next-generation production systems built with 3D UNIV+RSES where the real and virtual worlds meet. Featuring mobile robots, advanced modeling and simulation, real-time data integration, and built-in cybersecurity, these environments enable systems to be designed, validated, and optimized virtually before deployment, while continuously adapting without disrupting ongoing operation. Stand highlights include: - Generative AI to design, optimize and validate a humanoid robot as a fully integrated system in realistic industrial scenarios, before building a physical prototype. - Design, configuration, simulation and analysis of factory layouts, manufacturing resources, flows and cycle times to spot bottlenecks and optimize process efficiency. - Virtual commissioning to verify and validate real-time behavior of equipment, processes and programs, test workflows, and boost efficiency before a factory exists. - Immersive simulation in an industrial environment to experience, train and explore authentic robot behavior and human-robot collaboration. - Vulnerability tracking, identification of impacted software versions, and proactive risk mapping to ensure cybersecurity requirements for safe and resilient operations. - Real-time manufacturing execution that feeds performance data from robots, conveyors, and machines back into a virtual twin for continuous optimization. - Augmented reality that overlays step-by-step repair instructions directly on equipment to guide technicians and boost efficiency in the factory. In addition, Florence Verzelen, Executive Vice President, EMEA, Dassault Systèmes, will deliver the keynote “[Who will turn genAI into industrial performance](https://www.hannovermesse.de/event/who-will-turn-genai-into-industrial-performance-/key/101657)?” in hall 25, center stage on April 20 from 12h30-13h00 CEST.
