Siemens AG and MIT Technology Review release research report on emergent Industrial Metaverse
The Industrial
Metaverse will be a digital world that mirrors and simulates real machines,
factories, buildings, and entire cities and transportation systems. The
seamless integration of the real and digital worlds will empower people and companies
to solve real-world problems.
The
report explores the building blocks of the Industrial Metaverse, its use cases,
and the effects it will have on businesses, economies, and everyday life.
Moreover, it points out the challenges that decision-makers in businesses and
society face to enable this digital world – and how they can harness its
tremendous potential.
“Through
the Industrial Metaverse, businesses can develop sustainable products faster,
easier, and cheaper. They can use it to make machines, factories, buildings,
and entire cities and traffic systems more efficient, resilient, and
sustainable,” said Peter Körte, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Strategy
Officer of Siemens AG. “This research shows that building this digital world is
about leveraging and integrating powerful technologies. However, it requires,
at least as importantly, openness, collaboration, and strong ecosystems.”
The Industrial Metaverse will result from the evolution and convergence of technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and cloud and edge computing. A key building block of the Industrial Metaverse will be the digital twin, which simulates the behavior of its real-world counterparts and is already revolutionizing product development, infrastructure management, manufacturing, and training measures. Future digital twins will provide photorealistic simulations of the real world and enable real-time interaction between people and machines.
The market potential of the Industrial Metaverse
is estimated to reach around $100 billion in 2030, according to ABI Research,
representing a tenfold increase compared to 2021.
The
Siemens Xcelerator digital business platform will play a crucial role in
leveraging the potential of the Industrial Metaverse. "This is the go-to
place for companies to find the building blocks to enable and cultivate the Industrial
Metaverse for their purposes," said Körte. "Nowhere else can you find
such comprehensive, open, interoperable, flexible, and scalable solutions from
various partners."
