Infinite Uptime participated at Hannover Messe 2026, where it launched PlantOS 2.0. The new platform introduces an Industrial Agentic AI orchestration designed to deliver operator-validated production outcomes, anchored by what customers call the closed loop as 99% Trust Loop.
The launch reflects a broader shift underway in the prescriptive analytics landscape. Industrial AI is moving beyond condition monitoring and diagnostics toward systems that can orchestrate decisions and drive execution within real operating environments. Hannover Messe, with its concentration of operators, technology providers, and system integrators, provided a relevant platform to present this transition in practice.
Commenting on the launch, Karthikeyan Natarajan, CEO, Infinite Uptime, said: “Hannover Messe represents a convergence point for industrial leaders who are actively shaping how AI is applied within production environments. As the industry moves beyond predictive insights toward systems that can drive execution, it becomes important to demonstrate how these technologies operate in real conditions. PlantOS 2.0 reflects this shift toward agentic AI orchestration, where decisions are not only recommended but validated and executed within defined operational contexts. Hannover Messe provides the right platform to introduce this approach to a global audience that is working through similar transformation priorities.”
PlantOS 2.0 is built to function within existing plant ecosystems without requiring system overhauls. The platform eliminates the need for system overhauls through a no rip-and-replace architecture, full reusability of existing plant infrastructure. It integrates seamlessly with deployed sensors through the SenseLink module and connects with supervisory systems such as SCADA, MES, PLC, DCS, ERP, and CMMS via its AI Integration module. This enables faster adoption without operational disruption.
A governance policy and scheduling agent, supported by Plant Fusion modules, enables transparent orchestration of recommendations within plant-specific guardrails and decision contexts, reflecting a no black box AI approach where every decision is explainable and aligned with operational realities reinforcing the platform’s 99% Trust Loop. It further advances a human-centred, evidence-based performance optimisation through the introduction of a multi-site benchmarking module, a prescription engine for targeted improvements, and an AI Worx module for execution tracking, extending PlantOS from failure avoidance toward continuous, measurable outcomes.
Alongside the launch, Infinite Uptime hosted the CXO Circle Hannover Edition, bringing together industry leaders, Knud Lasse, CEO of IoT Analytics, Jatinder Devgun, Senior Analyst at Verdantix, and Karthikeyan Natarajan, CEO of Infinite Uptime. The speakers discussed the shift from predictive to prescriptive, workflow-driven operations. Deep diving into what holds manufacturers back from moving beyond predictive maintenance, and what enables that shift.
The conversation examined trust requirements for AI-led autonomous workflows and the gap between data availability and plant-floor decision-making. Panellists also addressed workflow automation, the limits of legacy systems such as APM and CMMS, and the business impact of unplanned downtime, including cost, frequency, and operational risk.
