PARIS, France, June 16, 2025 – Siemens and NVIDIA announced an expansion of their partnership to accelerate the next era of industrial AI and digitalization and enable the factory of the future.
“Modern manufacturers face mounting pressure to boost efficiency, enhance quality and adapt swiftly to changing market demands,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “Our partnership with Siemens is bringing NVIDIA AI and accelerated computing to the world’s leading enterprises and opening new opportunities for the next wave of industrial AI.”
“AI is fundamentally transforming manufacturing and infrastructure. Over the last three years, we’ve worked closely to merge AI models and high-performance computing, with industrial data and domain know-how,” said Roland Busch, president and CEO of Siemens AG. “Together, Siemens and NVIDIA are now empowering companies across every industry to unlock the scaled impact of AI in the physical world.”
The combination of Siemens and NVIDIA technologies will allow industrial companies to apply AI technologies across the manufacturing lifecycle – from design to execution. This setup supports real-time decision-making based on data rather than assumptions, helping teams respond faster and with accuracy. It also improves coordination between systems and stakeholders, leading to streamlined operations and better use of resources.
Partnering to accelerate digital transformation of Industry
In 2022, the companies announced a partnership to bring the industrial metaverse to life by connecting technologies from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to the NVIDIA Omniverse platform. The combination of Siemens’ software and industrial automation leadership with NVIDIA’s AI and accelerated computing empowers organizations across sectors to optimize performance, boost productivity and meet sustainability goals through digitalization. The partnership has since expanded to include collaboration in generative AI, industrial AI and robotics.
Siemens integrates NVIDIA technology throughout the Siemens Xcelerator platform. Announced earlier this year, Teamcenter Digital Reality Viewer is a key player in product lifecycle management-based visualization, bringing ray-tracing into Teamcenter to enable companies to visualize and interact with photorealistic, physics-based digital twins of their products, allowing for quick turn-around decisions.
HD Hyundai, one of the renowned shipbuilders, could use this capability to visualize a next-generation LNG vessel – managing millions of parts in real time while cutting design iteration time from days to hours with generative AI.
By coupling NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs with Siemens’ computational fluid dynamics software, Simcenter Star-CCM+ customers can simulate and test products virtually with enhanced speed. For example, using Simcenter Star-CCM+ software accelerated by NVIDIA Blackwell and NVIDIA CUDA-X libraries, BMW Group and Siemens achieved a 30x speedup for transient aerodynamics simulations of vehicle geometries – accelerating the simulation of vehicle aerodynamics while reducing energy consumption and costs.
Siemens has introduced a line of industrial PCs certified for use with NVIDIA GPUs, designed to operate in environments with heat, dust, and vibration. These systems support AI-based tasks such as robotics, visual inspection, and maintenance planning. Performance tests indicate an improvement in AI processing speed, with up to 25 times faster execution compared to prior setups.
Advanced AI agents will work across the Siemens Industrial Copilot portfolio, executing AI-powered processes without human intervention. Siemens’ Industrial Copilot for Operations brings generative AI to shopfloor operators and will be optimized to run on premises with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. The Siemens Industrial Copilot leverages NVIDIA NeMo microservices and the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for video search to support shopfloor operations, reducing reactive maintenance time by up to 30%.
Siemens is collaborating with NVIDIA to apply BlueField DPUs in operational technology environments. The focus is on using accelerated computing to enhance system monitoring and support AI-based threat detection in industrial networks.
The collaboration between Siemens and NVIDIA reflects a practical step toward integrating AI into industrial manufacturing. By combining Siemens’ industrial expertise with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing, the partnership supports an efficient deployment of AI tools on the shopfloor. This approach aims to simplify implementation and improve the responsiveness of production systems.
