Automation News has officially published the first issue of its inaugural print magazine, marking a significant milestone for the brand.

The debut print issue will be available exclusively at Hannover Messe 2026, taking place from 20th–24th April 2026. Visitors can collect a copy directly from the Automation News stand, located in Hall 027, Stand E02.

The issue features exclusive interviews with key exhibitors at Hannover Messe, exploring the technologies they will be showcasing. Coverage will include the growing role of humanoid robotics in manufacturing, the use of DC power on the production floor with a guided look round Phoenix Contact’s new facility, and perspectives on industry diversity, including features on women in engineering.

Hannover Messe, widely regarded as the world’s largest industrial trade fair, is expected to draw a global audience of manufacturers, engineers, policymakers, and technology providers.

This year’s event is expected to attract 3,500 exhibitors, 1,600 speakers, and around 123,000 on-site attendees.

Visitors are invited to drop by the Automation News stand where the team will also be hosting a prize draw, offering attendees the chance to win a Lego Star Wars Tie Interceptor.

The issue is also now available online.
