Siemens Unveils Industrial AI and Digital Twin Innovations

At CES 25, Siemens showcased its vision for the future where data, artificial intelligence and software-defined automation will converge to enable flexibility, optimization and improvement across global industries, for companies of all sizes. 

"Industrial AI is a game-changer that will create significant positive impact in the real world across all industries. Industrial AI allows us to harness the vast amounts of data generated in industrial environments and turn it into insights that drive real business impact. We are adding new industrial AI capabilities across the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to enable our customers to stay competitive, resilient and sustainable in an increasingly complex world," says Peter Koerte, member of the Managing Board, chief technology officer and chief strategy officer, Siemens AG.

Siemens brings industrial artificial intelligence (AI) to the shop floor with the new Siemens Industrial Copilot for Operations, enabling AI tasks to run close to machines. This facilitates rapid, real-time decisio- making for shop floor operators and maintenance engineers.

The Siemens Industrial Copilot ecosystem offers AI capabilities across the industrial value chain and into sectors including discrete and process manufacturing, infrastructure and mobility. This suite of copilots can enhance human-machine collaboration across all experience levels. The Siemens Industrial Copilot will be integrated with the Industrial Edge ecosystem, which has been enhanced with AI.

Collaborating with NVIDIA on PLM 

Together with NVIDIA, Siemens announced new additions to the Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform, including the Teamcenter Digital Reality Viewer powered by NVIDIA Omniverse, which brings large-scale, physically based visualization directly into the product lifecycle management (PLM) system. This capability also enables teams to collaborate in a secure, digital twin environment using their live 3D data, reducing errors and data discrepancies while streamlining workflows and decision-making.

"Our continued collaboration with NVIDIA will be transformative for our customers, empowering them to virtualize and visualize product and plants like never before. Bringing together the best-in-class capabilities of each company, we're equipping customers with the tools they need to make informed decisions, optimize their operations and accelerate their digital transformation," says Koerte.

Enabling Immersive Engineering with Sony

In collaboration with the Sony , Siemens is delivering a new solution for immersive engineering that brings together Siemens NX software for product engineering with a head-mounted display from Sony to enable content creation for the industrial metaverse. Available for pre-order and shipping beginning in February, Siemens' new Immersive Engineering toolset brings mixed reality to the product engineering and manufacturing community, enabling high-fidelity mixed reality and 3D-focused collaboration.

"In the era of digital twins, Siemens and Sony have collaborated closely to bring NX Immersive Designer to market. With 4K OLED Microdisplays, intuitive controls and the comfortable design, closely integrated with Siemens' advanced software, we firmly believe this new immersive engineering solution will pave the way for the future of engineering." says Seiya Amatatsu, Incubation Center, XR Technology Development Division, Sony Corp.

Introducing Designcenter for product engineering

Koerte was joined on stage at CES by Tony Hemmelgarn, president and CEO, Siemens Digital Industries Software, to unveil Siemens' new Designcenter software suite, which brings together its portfolio of design and engineering software including Solid Edge and NX software in one unified offering so that users can design and collaborate using the industry-leading Parasolid modeling kernel.  

"A lot of companies make their design software available to small businesses or to the very largest enterprises. Designcenter is unique in that it is truly open and accessible for everyone – companies of every size can scale with the same solution set, their data in the same format—without interruption," says Hemmelgarn.
