Siemens named leading industrial metaverse provider by PAC RADAR
“The
industrial metaverse is strongly centered around the interaction of people with
and around digital models of complex industrial operations. PAC considers
Siemens as the leading vendor in this space today. No other vendor has launched
more new functions and capabilities designed to move towards the industrial
metaverse in the past 12 months,” said Arnold Vogt, Head of Digital
Innovation & IoT, PAC.
In June
2022, Siemens announced its strategic ambition to enable the industrial
metaverse through solutions that are part of the Siemens Xcelerator open digital
business platform. These solutions include software for creating and managing
digital twins, the physics-based, continually updated models that form the
building blocks of the industrial metaverse. To accelerate development of the
industrial metaverse, Siemens is collaborating with partners within the Siemens
Xcelerator ecosystem, including NVIDIA, AWS and Microsoft, whose technologies
were leveraged to produce an immersive, working model of a proposed battery gigafactory for Norwegian battery company
Freyr, as part of an industrial metaverse showcase for the 2023 Hannover Messe.
Using a comprehensive digital twin of the factory enables the company’s
employees to interact with each other and with the machines across the entire
product, production and service lifecycle.
Playing field of the future: The industrial
metaverse
The emergent
industrial metaverse will allow people to better collaborate and test real
objects and processes in an immersive, intuitive, real-time environment, just
as in the real world. Experts can be engaged remotely, and plant planning &
optimization will become much easier, faster and more accurate, saving
resources and reducing emissions. As a result, the industrial metaverse is
making a concrete contribution to meeting real challenges such as climate
protection, demographic change and resource efficiency.
Siemens also
uses these technologies as part of designing and manufacturing a range of
products at various locations around the world. As part of the previously
announced €500 million investment in Erlangen, Germany, Siemens will expand
development and manufacturing capacities and establish Erlangen as a global
research & development hub and nucleus for the development of
technology to enable the industrial metaverse.
PAC has also
recently named Siemens as a “Best-in-Class” platform vendor in two Industrial
IoT categories (for industrial cloud applications and industrial edge
management) and “Leading Edge” for sustainability platforms as part of recent
PAC RADAR reports.
Siemens supports the development of common
standards worldwide
To further
promote openness and collaboration and support the development of industry-wide
standards, Siemens is also involved in the establishment of the Metaverse
Standards Forum. This organization – which includes technology companies such
as Microsoft and NVIDIA – is committed to developing common standards for an
open and inclusive metaverse. As a founding member, Siemens is now taking on
special responsibility here: Virginie Maillard, Head of Siemens Technology for
the U.S. and Head of Technology Field Simulation and Digital Twin at Siemens,
has been elected to the Metaverse Standards Forum’s board of directors.
Report on the emergent industrial metaverse
Together
with MIT Technology Review, Siemens has researched the development and
opportunities of the rapidly developing industrial metaverse. The result of
this collaboration is a comprehensive report on the potential of the emergent
industrial metaverse. This report compiles the most recent research results in
this field and includes interviews with leading technologists, industry
analysts, business leaders and researchers. The report is available at: https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/03/29/1070355/the-emergent-industrial-metaverse.
