Siemens and NVIDIA to enable industrial metaverse
Roland Busch (r.), CEO of Siemens AG and Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of Nvidia at the launch event of the Siemens Xcelerator on June 29, 2022 in Munich.
As a first
step in this collaboration, the companies plan to connect
Siemens Xcelerator, the open digital business platform, and
NVIDIA Omniverse™, a platform for 3D-design and
collaboration. This will enable an industrial metaverse with physics-based
digital models from Siemens and real-time AI from NVIDIA in which companies
make decisions faster and with increased confidence.
The addition
of Omniverse to the open Siemens Xcelerator partner ecosystem will accelerate
the use of digital twins that can deliver productivity and process improvements
across the production and product lifecycles. Companies of all sizes will be
able to employ digital twins with real-time performance data; create innovative
industrial IoT-solutions; leverage actionable insights from analytics at the
edge or in the cloud; and tackle the engineering challenges of tomorrow by
making visually rich, immersive simulations more accessible.
“Photorealistic,
physics-based digital twins embedded in the industrial metaverse offer enormous
potential to transform our economies and industries by providing a virtual
world where people can interact and collaborate to solve real-world problems.
Through this partnership, we will make the industrial metaverse a reality for
companies of all sizes,” said Roland Busch, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Siemens AG. “For over a decade, our digital twin technology has
been helping customers across all industries to boost their productivity
and today offer the industry’s most comprehensive digital twin. When Siemens Xcelerator
is connected to Omniverse, we will enable a real-time, immersive metaverse that
connects hardware and software, from the edge to the cloud with rich data from
Siemens’ software and solutions.”
“Siemens and
NVIDIA share a common vision that the industrial metaverse will drive digital
transformation. This is just the first step in our joint effort to make this
vision real for our customers and all parts of the global manufacturing
industry,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. “The connection to
Siemens Xcelerator will open NVIDIA’s Omniverse and AI ecosystem to a whole new
world of industrial automation that is built using Siemens’ mechanical,
electrical, software, IoT and edge solutions.”
This
partnership brings together complementary technologies and ecosystems to
realize the industrial metaverse. Siemens is uniquely positioned at the
intersections of the real and digital world, information technology and
operational technology. The Siemens Xcelerator platform connects mechanical,
electrical and software domains across the product and production processes and
enables the convergence of IT and OT.
NVIDIA
Omniverse is an AI-enabled, physically simulated and industrial-scale
virtual-world engine that enables for the first time full-fidelity live digital
twins.
NVIDIA AI, used by more than 25,000 companies
worldwide, is the intelligence engine of Omniverse in the cloud and autonomous
systems at the edge. NVIDIA Omniverse and AI are ideal computation engines to
represent the comprehensive digital twin from Siemens Xcelerator.

Forward looking statement
This document contains statements related to our future business and financial performance and future events or developments involving Siemens that may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by words such as “expect,” “look forward to,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “will,” “project” or words of similar meaning. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports, in prospectuses, in presentations, in material delivered to shareholders and in press releases. In addition, our representatives may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the current expectations and certain assumptions of Siemens’ management, of which many are beyond Siemens’ control. These are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and factors, including, but not limited to those described in disclosures, in particular in the chapter Report on expected developments and associated material opportunities and risks in the Combined Management Report of the Siemens Report (siemens.com/siemensreport), and in the Interim Group Management Report of the Half-year Financial Report (provided that it is already available for the current reporting year), which should be read in conjunction with the Combined Management Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, should decisions, assessments or requirements of regulatory authorities deviate from our expectations, should events of force majeure, such as pandemics, unrest or acts of war, occur or should underlying expectations including future events occur at a later date or not at all or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements of Siemens may (negatively or positively) vary materially from those described explicitly or implicitly in the relevant forward-looking statement. Siemens neither intends, nor assumes any obligation, to update or revise these forward-looking statements in light of developments which differ from those anticipated.
This document includes – in the applicable financial reporting framework not clearly defined – supplemental financial measures that are or may be alternative performance measures (non-GAAP-measures). These supplemental financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or as alternatives to measures of Siemens’ net assets and financial positions or results of operations as presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework in its Consolidated Financial Statements. Other companies that report or describe similarly titled alternative performance measures may calculate them differently.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this and other documents may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
