Global technology, software and engineering leader Emerson will demonstrate how it’s transforming the future of factory automation through its proven Floor to Cloud approach and comprehensive portfolio at Hannover Messe in Hannover, Germany, on March 31 to April 4, 2025.
Visitors to the Emerson booth will learn how companies of any size can apply a Floor to Cloud approach to drive sustainable growth, maximize performance quality and unleash workforce productivity for immediate and long-term success.
Located in the Automation, Motion & Drives area, booth C30 will feature immersive demonstrations and displays. This interactive hub will showcase how products from ASCO, AVENTICS, Branson, Movicon, PACEdge and PACSystems brands combine to form intelligent solutions that transform operations across the factory floor and deliver ongoing value.
Scheduled presentations from Emerson experts in the Innovation Theater give visitors the opportunity to solve complex industry challenges and pathways to achieve a wide range of goals. Topics include driving sustainable growth, energy savings and efficiency, and proportional pressure control in robotic applications, as well as real customer success stories.
Event highlights
Emerson will also host an invite-only press event at the booth. The exclusive event, Future Talks, will feature a panel discussion from industry experts and Q&A. Representatives from associations, partner companies and academic institutions will discuss such topics as the future of sustainability in manufacturing and the role of AI and automation in industrial applications. Further details will be announced closer to the show opening.
Product highlights

AVENTICS Series AF2 flow sensor
AVENTICS Series AF2 flow sensors have helped plants around the world successfully reduce compressed air consumption and improve energy efficiency. By monitoring air consumption in pneumatic systems, AF2 sensors enable rapid intervention if leaks occur, helping optimize energy consumption, reach net-zero targets, prevent machine downtime and reduce costs. Emerson also offers a high-flow model of this advanced sensor that propels compressed air monitoring beyond individual machines to benefit larger air lines and systems. This expanded capability allows users to easily optimize energy consumption across an entire packaging facility and improve overall plant sustainability.
Energy Manager
Designed to help manufacturers cut energy costs and carbon emissions by up to 30%, the new Energy Manager solution from Emerson transforms energy challenges into opportunities. Machine tools are energy-intensive, even when idling. This plug-and-play system offers real-time electricity monitoring to identify and minimize waste, optimizing energy use and boosting operational efficiency. With quick setup and intuitive operation, the Energy Manager provides detailed insights into energy consumption and operating costs, allowing plant managers to reduce idle consumption and peak loads. This application can also be used in conjunction with the Compressed Air Manager solution, offering a scalable, comprehensive view of energy and utility consumption.
Software solutions
Today’s manufacturing facilities require modern automation technology that can readily adapt and meet changing production and operational requirements. Success increasingly depends on advanced SCADA solutions that seamlessly integrate diverse systems and assets, often over wide geographic areas, while maintaining robust cybersecurity. The Movicon industrial software platform delivers the next-generation of SCADA/HMI connectivity and operability through modular, scalable and secure interfaces. The innovative suite of tools includes Movicon Pro.Lean, which harvests real-time production and performance data that can be used to reduce waste and increase profitability, and Movicon Pro.Energy, which measures energy consumption and can guide decisions around sustainability and efficiency strategies.
Programmable automation control systems
Industrial operations today need a flexible, scalable and affordable approach to modernization. PACSystems controllers add a new dimension to industrial control and automation, allowing production optimization and monitoring capabilities in the widest range of process and discrete industrial environments. These automation control solutions bring control intelligence with a real-world approach to identify and predict impending failures, enable proactive maintenance, boost cyber security and customize data acquisition and analytics — so businesses can minimize downtime and handle market changes with agility. Core Emerson automation control innovations include the PACSystems RX3i CPL410 and CPE330 controllers, which offer extensive flexibility for a range of applications, as well as the RSTi EP I/O, which combines powerful controller technology in a modular, compact form factor with a full range of slice I/O to maximize productivity.
