Why EMO 2025 Matters at the 50th Anniversary
For half a century, EMO Hannover has been the global stage for machine tool innovation. At EMO 2025 , the landmark 50th anniversary edition, artificial intelligence takes centre stage. From 22–26 September 2025, the Hannover Exhibition Grounds in Germany will welcome thousands of visitors and more than 1,500 exhibitors – making this one of the most exciting years in the show’s history.
And in its landmark year, one theme dominates: artificial intelligence.
Why AI Matters at the 50th EMO
AI is no longer just a concept – it’s being embedded directly into CNC controls, simulation tools, and predictive monitoring systems. At EMO 2025, visitors will see how AI is:
- Reducing downtime with anomaly detection.
- Automating programming to cut setup times.
- Optimising toolpaths and cutting conditions in real time.
- Connecting machines into smart factories with digital twins.
In short, the 50th EMO is not just a celebration of history – it’s a showcase of how AI is defining the future of global manufacturing.
