Siemens and NVIDIA Industrial AI Operating System
2026-01-06 · Publisher : Siemens · Domain : Industry 4.0 & 5.0
At CES 2026, Siemens and NVIDIA expand their partnership to build an "Industrial AI Operating System". Siemens launches Digital Twin Composer, adopted by PepsiCo, and presents nine industrial copilots.
What changes
- Partnership expanded to cover the whole chain, from design to production and supply chain.
- Goal: AI-driven adaptive manufacturing sites, starting in 2026 with the Erlangen electronics factory.
- Digital Twin Composer, on Siemens Xcelerator by mid-2026, combines the Siemens twin with Omniverse libraries.
- PepsiCo uses it to simulate upgrades of US facilities; nine industrial copilots announced.
### Background On 6 January 2026, during its keynote at CES in Las Vegas, Siemens announces with NVIDIA an expanded partnership to build an **"Industrial AI Operating System"**, intended to reinvent the whole industrial value chain through AI, from design and engineering to manufacturing, operations and supply chain. ### Key facts - Shared goal of fully AI-driven adaptive manufacturing sites, starting in 2026 with the Siemens Electronics Factory in Erlangen. - NVIDIA provides infrastructure, simulation libraries, models and blueprints; Siemens commits hundreds of industrial AI experts. - Launch of **Digital Twin Composer**, available on Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace by mid-2026: Siemens twin, simulations built on Omniverse libraries and real engineering data. - **PepsiCo** uses it to turn US facilities into 3D twins and validate new configurations within weeks. - **Nine industrial copilots** presented; NVIDIA NIM and Nemotron integrated into Siemens electronic design software. ### Why it matters The digital twin becomes a decision environment where the effect of an engineering or layout change is replayed over time before touching the plant. For manufacturing engineering, access moves to a software marketplace rather than bespoke projects. ### Takeaway High point of the Siemens–NVIDIA partnership: from GPU-equipped IPCs (2024) to a shared foundation announced for the whole industrial chain.
