Siemens and NVIDIA Grow Partnership

Siemens and NVIDIA are expanding their partnership to accelerate the next era of industrial AI and digitalization and enable the factory of the future, the companies report.

“Modern manufacturers face mounting pressure to boost efficiency, enhance quality and adapt swiftly to changing market demands,” says Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Our partnership with Siemens is bringing NVIDIA AI and accelerated computing to the world’s leading enterprises and opening new opportunities for the next wave of industrial AI.”

“AI is fundamentally transforming manufacturing and infrastructure. Over the last three years, we’ve worked closely to merge AI models and high-performance computing, with industrial data and domain know-how,” says Roland Busch, president and CEO of Siemens AG. “Together, Siemens and NVIDIA are now empowering companies across every industry to unlock the scaled impact of AI in the physical world.”

Integrating the two technologies, Siemens and NVIDIA jointly can help enable companies to leverage comprehensive, AI-powered technologies for next-generation factory automation. 

Accelerate Digital Transformation

Siemens integrates NVIDIA technology throughout the Siemens Xcelerator platform. Announced earlier this year, Teamcenter Digital Reality Viewer brings real-time ray-tracing capabilities directly into Teamcenter to enable companies to visualize and interact with photorealistic, physics-based digital twins of their products.

By coupling NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs with Siemens’ computational fluid dynamics software, Simcenter Star-CCM+ customers can simulate and test products virtually with enhanced speed, Siemens reports. 

Siemens and NVIDIA are also redefining how factories operate. A new line of Siemens Industrial PCs, certified for NVIDIA GPUs, drive powerful AI-supported industrial computing, withstanding heat, dust and vibration, and allowing for 24/7 operation. They enable complex industrial automation tasks — from AI-based robotics to quality inspection and predictive maintenance — delivering a 25x acceleration in AI execution.

Advanced AI agents will work seamlessly across the Siemens Industrial Copilot portfolio, executing entire AI-powered processes without human intervention. Siemens’ Industrial Copilot for Operations brings generative AI to shopfloor operators and will be optimized to run on premises with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. The Operations Copilot leverages NVIDIA NeMo microservices and the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for video search and summarization to deliver real-time, AI-powered assistance for shopfloor operations.

To provide manufacturers with full visibility into industrial systems and strengthen cybersecurity operations, Siemens is also collaborating with NVIDIA to pioneer a new class of operational technology cybersecurity by integrating NVIDIA BlueField® DPUs, leveraging accelerated computing in pursuit of AI-driven cybersecurity.
