- Investment of CAD$150 million (ca. €97
million) over five years
- Center supports Canada’s strategy to advance
national battery and EV ecosystem
Siemens will invest CAD$150 million (ca. €97
million) over five years to establish a Global AI Manufacturing Technologies
Research and Development (R&D) Center for Battery Production in Canada. The
new R&D center, located initially at Siemens Canada’s head office in
Oakville, as well as in Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, will focus on
developing cutting-edge AI manufacturing technologies with an initial emphasis
on battery and electric vehicle (EV) production. It will leverage Siemens’
expertise in AI, edge computing, machine vision, digital twins, and
cybersecurity to drive innovation and efficiency in battery production, while
fostering collaboration with higher education institutions and battery
manufacturers.
- Siemens and Audi are enabling virtual shop floor automation with Siemens Xcelerator to scale production processes
- New fail-safe virtual controllers and AI vision inspection empower Audi to improve production safety, flexibility, and efficiency
- Siemens’ virtual controllers and Industrial AI Suite run on the Industrial Edge system
Siemens and Audi are revolutionizing manufacturing processes with software-defined automation and artificial intelligence (AI). The long-standing partnership is accelerating innovation for the automotive industry by focusing on integrating virtual and hardware controllers, enhancing safety functions, and streamlining production processes. Audi has also implemented AI-driven automation for optical inspection based on the Siemens portfolio. The goal is to automate detection and removal of weld spatter on vehicle bodies using a customer-trained AI algorithm and high-resolution images. As a result, Audi has realized a higher car body quality and more efficient manufacturing processes.

Thirty-three thousand square meters of modern urban
office space near Munich’s East Station
- Flexible structures and modern workplace environment
for about 4,000 people
- Forward-looking, sustainable building technologies and
carbon neutral orientation
- Four strong, long-term Siemens locations in and around
Munich
Siemens is planning to open a new
office location near Munich’s East Station by the end of 2027. In the new
building, which is currently under construction, the company intends to rent
