PLANO, TX, Jan 8, 2026 – Siemens introduced Digital Twin Composer, a software platform designed to build industrial metaverse environments at enterprise scale. The software combines industrial AI, simulation, and real-time data from physical systems. It enables engineers to test scenarios, validate decisions virtually, and apply changes to industrial operations with confidence.
Digital Twin Composer brings 2D/3D digital twin data together in a secure, photorealistic 3D environment built on NVIDIA Omniverse libraries. With Digital Twin Composer, industrial teams maintain a single, high-fidelity digital environment covering products, processes, or facilities, supporting both virtual and physical data throughout the lifecycle.
At select U.S. facilities, PepsiCo is using high-fidelity 3D digital twins developed with Siemens to model plant operations and supply chains. Teams validated configuration changes within weeks, increasing capacity and throughput while gaining operational visibility and a foundation for future AI integration.
PepsiCo is using Digital Twin Composer, NVIDIA Omniverse, and computer vision to model factory assets and material flows with physics-level accuracy. AI agents test and refine changes virtually, identifying up to 90% of potential issues before any physical modifications occur. Early deployments have increased throughput by 20% and shortened design cycles. The virtual approach has also enabled nearly 100% design validation and reduced capital expenditure (Capex) by 10% to 15% by uncovering hidden capacity limits before investment.
Different tools and disconnected data systems continue to separate design, engineering, and production teams. Digital Twin Composer unifies these functions in a single, contextual digital twin. The model lets engineers test products and processes, validate automation early, and manage real-world facilities from one digital environment.
“The new Digital Twin Composer delivers on our vision for the industrial metaverse. It helps manufacturers to overcome the unprecedented challenges of mastering complexity, accelerating production, reducing costs and increasing profitability,” said Joe Bohman, executive vice president, PLM Products, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Siemens and NVIDIA are partnering to help manufacturers bring the most complex products, processes and factories online faster, boost resiliency and sustainability, and continuously optimize performance.”
“In an era where every physical object and process will have a digital twin, Siemens’ Digital Twin Composer establishes a digital thread that connects the silos of design, engineering, and operations across the Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem,” said Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and Simulation Technology, NVIDIA. “By integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries into Digital Twin Composer, enterprises can take advantage of physically accurate simulation across their workflows to validate their entire lifecycle – from product design to factory logistics – in the virtual world before committing a single atom to the real one.”
Digital Twin Composer operates within the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to integrate 3D digital twins with real-world operational data. The platform connects physically accurate, photorealistic digital twins to manufacturing execution system software (MES), quality management systems (QMS), programmable logic controller (PLC) code from machines or factory assets, and industrial internet of things (IIoT) data across open engineering environments. When combined with Siemens data science and AI software such as RapidMiner, the system enables virtual analysis and supports informed operational decisions.
