Accenture and Avanade are co-developing an agentic factory intelligence system with Microsoft to help companies reinvent factory operations through seamless collaboration between humans, machines, AI agents and data. Leading manufacturers Kruger and Nissha Metallizing Solutions are early adopters, helping validate the agentic factory ahead of its planned general availability later in 2026. Accenture and Avanade are presenting the product in collaboration with Microsoft at Hannover Messe 2026*. The agentic factory moves beyond traditional manufacturing analytics, dashboards and oversight tools. It enables AI agents that assist factory operators with initial status checks, diagnostics and guided troubleshooting when production lines or machines are not producing at the intended rate. The agents analyze operational context, historical machine behavior and production data to suggest likely causes and recommended actions. When additional support is required, the product helps prepare maintenance tickets or spare parts orders. “Manufacturers are looking to reinvent their shop floor operations with AI for improved safety and productivity,” said Tracey

Dassault Systèmes and OMRON, a global leader in industrial automation technologies, announced their partnership to bridge the gap between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT). This collaboration enables manufacturers and machine builders to design, simulate, and deploy smarter, more flexible, and higher-performing production systems through a unified approach that merges virtual and real environments. Today’s factories often face a critical issue: product design, automation, and production systems operate in silos. This fragmentation leads to longer commissioning times, higher error risks, and limited flexibility. OMRON and Dassault Systèmes are breaking down these barriers by creating a seamless link between 3D design and simulation in the virtual world, and robots, sensors and production lines in the physical world. The collaboration combines Dassault Systèmes’ 3D UNIV+RSES with OMRON’s Sysmac industrial automation platform, enabling manufacturers to design, simulate, validate and deploy production systems within a continuous virtual environment. At the core of the partnership is
