At CES 2026, Siemens unveiled a suite of groundbreaking technologies designed to accelerate the industrial AI revolution, positioning itself at the forefront of the next wave of digital transformation. The company’s keynote in Las Vegas highlighted how artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool but a foundational force reshaping industries from manufacturing and energy to life sciences and infrastructure. Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG, emphasized the transformative power of industrial AI, comparing its impact to that of electricity a century ago. “Industrial AI is no longer a feature; it’s a force that will reshape the next century,” Busch said. “We’re delivering AI-native capabilities embedded across design, engineering, and operations—enabling customers to anticipate issues, accelerate innovation, and reduce costs.” A major highlight of the event was the expanded partnership between Siemens and NVIDIA to co-develop the Industrial AI Operating System. This collaboration aims to create AI-accelerated solutions across the entire product and production lifecycle, from design to manufacturing. The two companies will build the world’s first fully AI-driven, adaptive manufacturing sites, starting with the Siemens Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Germany, as a pilot in 2026. NVIDIA will provide AI infrastructure, simulation libraries, models, and frameworks, while Siemens will contribute hundreds of industrial AI experts, advanced hardware, and software. The partnership will focus on four key areas: AI-native electronic design automation (EDA), AI-native simulation, AI-driven adaptive manufacturing and supply chains, and AI-powered factories. Siemens also announced the integration of NVIDIA NIM and Nemotron open AI models into its EDA software, enabling more accurate, efficient, and specialized generative and agentic workflows for semiconductor and PCB design. This integration is expected to improve model performance and significantly lower operational costs. The company introduced the Digital Twin Composer, a new platform launching on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace in mid-2026. This technology combines Siemens’ digital twin capabilities, NVIDIA Omniverse simulation libraries, and real-time physical data to create dynamic, high-fidelity 3D models of products, processes, and entire plants. These virtual environments allow users to simulate real-world conditions—such as weather, equipment changes, or process modifications—enabling faster, safer, and more efficient decision-making. PepsiCo is already using the Digital Twin Composer to transform its U.S. manufacturing and warehouse facilities. By creating high-fidelity digital twins, the company has achieved a 20% increase in throughput, nearly 100% design validation, and 10 to 15% reductions in capital expenditure. AI agents can now identify up to 90% of potential issues before any physical changes are made. Siemens also expanded its AI copilot suite, now including nine new tools for its software platforms like Teamcenter, Polarion, and Opcenter. These copilots enhance product data management, automate compliance, and optimize manufacturing operations—reducing errors, speeding time to market, and cutting costs. In life sciences, Siemens’ acquisition of Dotmatics has enabled the integration of vast research data into the Luma platform, accelerating drug discovery. Combined with Simcenter and digital twins, this allows for faster virtual testing of molecules and scalable production, potentially reducing time to market by up to 50%. In energy, Commonwealth Fusion Systems is using Siemens’ design and data tools to advance commercial fusion, a clean, limitless energy source. In manufacturing, Siemens is bringing industrial AI to Meta’s Ray-Ban AI Glasses, providing shop floor workers with hands-free, real-time audio guidance and safety feedback. The Siemens booth in the North Hall featured live demonstrations of its eXplore tour—an 18-wheel mobile experience showcasing AI, digital twins, and automation. The company also launched a new autonomous vehicle experience in West Hall, using its PAVE360 Automotive technology to demonstrate software-defined vehicle development in a virtual environment. Siemens is livestreaming its keynote and will make the recording available online. The company continues to lead in industrial AI, helping customers across industries drive efficiency, sustainability, and innovation. In fiscal 2025, Siemens generated €78.9 billion in revenue and employed around 318,000 people worldwide.
