Siemens unveils breakthrough innovations in industrial AI and digital twin technology at CES 2025
Peter Koerte, Member of the Managing Board, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Strategy officer, Siemens AG at CES 2025, Las Vegas.
Siemens is showcasing its vision for the future where data,
AI and software-defined automation will converge to enable unprecedented
flexibility, optimization and continuous improvement across the world’s
industries, for companies of any size. This ambition is at the heart of
Siemens' presence at CES 2025, the world's most influential tech event. Siemens
– the global leader in industrial software –demonstrated how its technologies
are empowering customers to take bold leaps in industrial innovation.
"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,"
said Peter Koerte, Member of the Managing Board, Chief Technology Officer and
Chief Strategy officer, Siemens AG.
Siemens is bringing Industrial AI directly 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. The Siemens Industrial
Copilot will be integrated with the Industrial Edge ecosystem, which has been
enhanced with AI for deploying, operating and managing AI models within the
production environment.
Blended wing aircraft by JetZero
JetZero Selects Siemens Xcelerator Platform
During Siemens'
press conference at CES 2025, the company announced an agreement with JetZero,
a pioneering aviation startup working to build the future of sustainable air
travel, to collaborate on the development and production of JetZero's revolutionary blended wing aircraft.
The innovative blended wing design aims to improve fuel efficiency by 50
percent, reduce noise and deliver the promise of zero carbon emissions by 2035.
JetZero will leverage the Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform to design,
manufacture and operate their new aircraft.
JetZero is
planning to build "Factory of the Future", a new greenfield
factory in the United States where they intend to tightly integrate Siemens’
automation hardware, software and services to help it achieve its remarkably
ambitious vision encompassing electrification, automation and digitalization of both the aircraft and its production. The JetZero aircraft and its
associated manufacturing operations will be simulated virtually using
comprehensive digital twins – enabling the company to de-risk the manufacturing
process, validate the approach and scale processes long before any ground is broken or jets take to the skies.
"Siemens is giving us the confidence to take a leap, not
just a step, in revolutionizing air travel," said JetZero CEO Tom O'Leary.
"Their digital twin and industrial metaverse technologies will be
instrumental in helping us design, build and operate the world's first fully
digital aircraft, delivering a better experience for passengers and airlines
while also reducing fuel consumption by 50 percent."
Siemens democratizes industrial tech for startups
Siemens' presence at CES also highlighted the company's
commitment to enabling startups and companies of all sizes to use its
industrial metaverse technologies. Through the new Siemens for Startups
program, innovators of any size have access to the intelligence, ecosystems and
technologies they need to turn their big ideas into world-changing innovations.
Siemens is providing access to venture partnering and clienting services along
with dramatically reduced cost access to software and hardware from the Siemens
Xcelerator open business platform. In addition, Siemens is collaborating with
Amazon Web Services to offer AWS credits, business development resources
and access to the AWS Activate program for technical and go-to-market support.
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. 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," said Koerte.
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. 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." said Seiya
Amatatsu, Incubation Center, XR Technology Development Division, Sony
Corporation.
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 companies of any size 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," said Hemmelgarn.
Technology to transform the everyday
At the Siemens booth in the North Hall of the Las Vegas
Convention Center, Siemens is showcasing how its technology transforms the
everyday, for everyone, through examples of solutions created by Siemens and
