Industrial companies are under increasing pressure to improve their energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint. A major energy consumer in industry is the drive train, which consists of variable speed drives, motors, pumps, and other components. Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud, a powerful solution from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, helps companies significantly reduce the energy consumption of their drive systems through energy-based maintenance.
- Acquisition expands Siemens’ offering in PCB design for the SMB market and enables greater process coverage, from design to manufacturing preparation
Siemens Digital Industries Software
announced today that it has completed the acquisition of DownStream
Technologies, a leading provider of manufacturing data
preparation solutions for printed circuit board (PCB) design. This acquisition strengthens
Siemens’ PCB design portfolio and
expands its footprint in the electronics small and
medium-sized business (SMB) market.
- Ecosystem for the industrialization of Additive Manufacturing from large industry, SMEs, research, and the state government
- Significant funding from the Bavarian State Government
- Expansion of the Advanced Manufacturing Hub Garching with co-location of industry and research
- Congress on "Next Generation Manufacturing" on October 23/24 in Garching
- Along with other partners, Siemens is a founding member
With Bavaria Makes e.V. (in formation), a
strong ecosystem for the industrialization of Additive Manufacturing (AM) is
being created in Bavaria in Germany. The association, consisting of large
companies, medium-sized businesses, universities, research institutions, and
the innovation agency of Bavaria with Bayern Innovativ, aims to make Bavaria a
globally leading high-tech location for Additive Manufacturing within 10 years.
In Additive Manufacturing, components are built up layer by layer and are not
produced by material removal like in conventional processes. This enables great
flexibility and design freedom, opening up unprecedented possibilities for research
and industry. Currently, applications are being developed or already in use for
numerous industries such as medical, energy, aerospace & defense,
semiconductor, tool making, automotive, and railway industry.
- Siemens and O₂ Telefónica Germany launch the first fully integrated connectivity solution based on 5G network slicing, designed for Siemens' automation applications
- The product is available for water utilities and wastewater treatment companies in Germany
- A pilot customer from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is already testing the new solution
The technology company Siemens and the telecommunications provider
O₂ Telefónica are launching a partnership in Germany to advance the
networking of the water industry with a new connectivity solution for
customized 5G mobile networks. The solution will be marketed by Siemens to thousands
of water and wastewater utilities in Germany. Unlike the manufacturing industry
with its local private 5G campus networks, the water industry's facilities are
widely distributed and need to be connected over long distances.
At Hannover Messe 2025, Siemens
will showcase how its technologies are transforming the everyday and helping
customers accelerate their digital transformation by seamlessly combining the
real and digital worlds. Innovative use cases include agent-driven AI-supported

- 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.
