Bosch Rexroth Showcases Digital Hydraulic Solutions at Hannover Messe 2026

[Cengiz Özemli]

Bosch Rexroth demonstrates how digitized hydraulic systems provide efficiency, transparency, and productivity in industry by using a fully functional deep drawing press at Hannover Messe 2026.

### Live Demonstration: Experiencing Digital Hydraulics
Visitors can experience how digital solutions interact within a deep drawing press through a real industrial application, rather than abstract concepts. This reveals how digitalization transforms traditional fluid technology into a data-driven and intelligent system.

### Digital Twin: Fast Data Access
One of the prominent features at the exhibition is the use of Digital Twin technology via the Asset Administration Shell (AAS). By scanning QR codes on components, users can instantly access the following information:

• Technical documentation
• Certificates
• Carbon footprint data

This ensures quick and easy access to information without the need for manual data searching.

### Software Infrastructure: Asset Orchestration Platform (AOP)
At the core of the system is Bosch Rexroth’s AOP platform, which acts as the "brain." This platform:

• Collects and combines data from multiple components
• Processes and analyzes data
• Enables integration with higher-level applications

Thus, it supports flexible production, rapid commissioning, and intelligent decision-making processes.

### IoT Integration: Real-Time Monitoring and Control
Bosch Rexroth also integrates AOP with its IoT service, CytroConnect Solutions. This system collects real-time data from sensors such as:

• Pressure
• Temperature
• Oil quality

The data is used in applications like condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, allowing the system to dynamically react to detected events.

### Research Initiative: Fluid 4.0
As the coordinator of the Fluid 4.0 initiative, Bosch Rexroth supports the creation of open and cross-manufacturer standards for digital fluid technology. Key focus areas include:

• Accelerated control development
• Energy monitoring and optimization
• In-process carbon balance
• Circular economy concepts

These use cases are also demonstrated in the deep drawing press.

### Conclusion
By combining digital twins, IoT connectivity, and advanced orchestration software, Bosch Rexroth reveals the tangible benefits of digitized hydraulic systems in an industrial environment. The live demonstration emphasizes the transition from theoretical Industry 4.0 concepts to practical and scalable solutions.
