ICYMI: Siemens at IMTS 2024 [VIDEO]
Experience the future of digital manufacturing with Siemens
As we wrap up another incredible time at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) 2024, let’s take a moment to reflect on the event’s biggest highlights. IMTS 2024, the largest manufacturing technology show in North America, was a resounding success, drawing over 89,000 participants and showcasing the cutting-edge innovations shaping the future of manufacturing.
The energy at IMTS 2024 was contagious. With thousands of attendees exploring new technologies, forming partnerships, and participating in hands-on demonstrations, it was clear that the future of manufacturing is brighter than ever. In case you missed it, watch the video for a preview of our booth showcasing the entire manufacturing process for the next generation of products.
At IMTS, we showcased our end-to-end digital thread, from identifying potential improvements through simulation and all the way to making and installing the new component. See how we developed and manufactured a transmission housing built to handle high forces, reduce noise, and minimize vibration. By digitally connecting design, 3D printing, CNC machining, quality inspection, and assembly, leveraging our partner ecosystems. The result? A high-performance EV part that’s 35% stronger and 25% quieter than the conventional design.
Here are three standout moments from the Siemens showcase:
Real-world digital manufacturing
At the heart of our booth this year was a fully integrated demonstration of the complete manufacturing process —an end-to-end journey from initial requirements to final product. We gave attendees a live look at how high-performance products can be conceived, designed, and brought to life, powered by cloud and AI technologies. The process was seamlessly connected, offering a glimpse into the digital manufacturing revolution that’s transforming the industry.
From concept to reality: innovative solutions
One of the biggest takeaways was how we demonstrated the power of digital manufacturing, where every step, from design engineering to manufacturing and assembly, is digitally linked in a unified thread. This digital thread ensures that every aspect of the production process is tightly connected, creating a streamlined workflow that accelerates innovation. We showed how this integration can result in faster turnaround times, improved product quality, and greater flexibility, ultimately paving the way for the next generation of high-performance products. Whether you’re manufacturing parts for aerospace, automotive, or consumer electronics, the future of manufacturing is digital, and we are proud to showcase it in action.
A thriving partner ecosystem
No modern solution is complete without a robust partner ecosystem, and IMTS 2024 gave us the perfect platform to showcase ours. Our vibrant partners are rapidly integrating their innovative solutions into the Siemens Xcelerator platform, providing manufacturers with even more opportunities to boost productivity and scale operations. Our partners are playing a critical role in helping manufacturers take their businesses to the next level.
If you missed out, don’t worry — we’ll keep the conversation going online with our manufacturing community. From what we experienced at IMTS 2024, the possibilities are limitless, and we’re excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in this space. Thank you to everyone who made this year’s IMTS an unforgettable event. Until next time!
