Siemens Leads Industrial AI Revolution at CES 2026

Siemens took center stage at CES 2026, unveiling a suite of technologies designed to accelerate the industrial AI revolution. The company showcased its Digital Twin Composer software, set to launch mid-2026, which integrates real-time data and simulations to power the industrial metaverse. This announcement marks a significant leap forward in merging digital and physical worlds, promising to transform industries from manufacturing to energy.

The Digital Twin Composer, available on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace, allows companies to create virtual 3D models of products, processes, or plants. These models can simulate real-world conditions, enabling businesses to test and optimize designs before implementation. This technology is already being adopted by major players like PepsiCo, which is using it to modernize its U.S. manufacturing and warehousing facilities.

Siemens and NVIDIA: A Partnership for Innovation

A key highlight of Siemens' CES presentation was its expanded partnership with NVIDIA. The two companies are collaborating to build the Industrial AI Operating System, a platform designed to revolutionize how products are designed, engineered, and operated. By integrating NVIDIA's AI infrastructure and simulation libraries with Siemens' industrial software, the partnership aims to create AI-driven manufacturing sites globally, starting with Siemens' Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Germany.

This collaboration is expected to drive faster innovation, continuous optimization, and more sustainable manufacturing processes. The integration of NVIDIA's open AI models into Siemens' electronic design automation (EDA) software will also advance generative and agentic workflows for semiconductor and PCB design, reducing operational costs and maximizing accuracy.

AI-Powered Solutions Across Industries

Siemens demonstrated the versatility of its AI-powered solutions across various sectors. In the life sciences, the acquisition of Dotmatics has enabled Siemens to integrate vast research data into its AI solutions, accelerating drug discovery and development. With Dotmatics' Luma platform, scientists can unify billions of data points, creating a foundation for AI-driven exploration and virtual scaling of production.

In the energy sector, Commonwealth Fusion Systems is leveraging Siemens' technologies to lead the path to commercial fusion. By using Siemens' design software and data backbone, Commonwealth Fusion Systems is accelerating the development of fusion machines that promise clean, limitless energy.

Manufacturing is another area where Siemens is making significant strides. The company announced a collaboration to bring Industrial AI to Meta Ray-Ban AI Glasses, providing shop floor workers with hands-free, real-time audio guidance and safety insights. This innovation empowers workers to solve problems efficiently, enhancing productivity and safety.

Siemens also spotlighted its partnership with Microsoft, focusing on using AI to improve productivity, resilience, and innovation across industries. The collaboration includes co-building the award-winning industrial copilot, which streamlines manufacturing operations and drives operational efficiency.

The company's presence at CES 2026 underscores its commitment to transforming the everyday through technology. With a focus on industrial AI, Siemens is empowering customers to accelerate their digital and sustainability transformations, making factories more efficient, cities more livable, and transportation more sustainable.
