Siemens has showcased ‘game-changing’ industrial AI and digital twin technology at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, the world’s most influential tech event
The company set out a vision for the future where data, AI and software-defined automation will enable unprecedented flexibility, optimization and continuous improvement across industries, for companies of any size.
“Industrial AI is a game-changer that will create significant positive impact in the real world across all industries,” said Peter Koerte, Siemens chief technology officer and chief strategy officer.
“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.”
AI for real-time decision-making
Siemens is bringing industrial AI to the shop floor with the new Siemens Industrial Copilot for Operations, enabling AI tasks to run as close as possible to machines.
This facilitates rapid, real-time decision making for shop floor operators and maintenance engineers, boosting productivity, operational efficiency and minimizing downtime.
The Siemens Industrial Copilot ecosystem is continuously evolving to offer 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, helping to accelerate development times and innovation cycles.
Collaborating with NVIDIA to bring photorealism to 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,” said Koerte.
“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.”
Enabling immersive engineering with Sony
In collaboration with the Sony Corporation, Siemens is delivering a new solution for immersive engineering that brings together Siemens NX software for product engineering with a breakthrough head-mounted display from Sony to enable content creation for the industrial metaverse.
Now available for pre-order and shipping beginning in February, Siemens’ new Immersive Engineering toolset brings the power of 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,” said Seiya Amatatsu, Incubation Center, XR Technology Development Division, Sony Corporation.
“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.”
