Few industries move faster, or demand more precision, than aerospace and defense. Designs can change overnight, compliance requirements tighten without warning, and mission needs evolve at a relentless pace. That’s why Northrop Grumman has turned to Siemens Process Simulate Human software, brought to life inside the HIVE (Highly Immersive Virtual Environment). Together, these digital tools give engineers the ability to collaborate globally in real time while simulating human interactions with complex systems before they’re ever built. Hear from Northrop Grumman’s Systems Engineer, Sibo Chou, to explore how the aerospace and defense leader combines Siemens Process Simulate Human with motion capture technology to bring a human touch to the design to aircraft assembly process.

Before Humanoids Hit the Factory Floor: Validating the Future with Manufacturing Simulation

By Christina Cort and Alex Greenberg

Humanoid systems are inherently complex, requiring substantial investment not only in physical hardware but also in intelligence, the “brain” of the robot. Expertise in sensors, control systems, machine learning, AI, and natural language interaction are all essential to humanoid development. At Siemens, this understanding is built through high-fidelity simulation. Using tools such as Tecnomatix Process Simulate, Siemens software enables manufacturers to precisely model how manufacturing labor resources respond to task requirements. With strong competencies in advanced robotics and human simulation, Siemens solutions are uniquely positioned to model flexible manufacturing environments that blend automation, human workers, and emerging humanoid systems.

Introducing the AI Powered Copilot for Siemens Plant Simulation software [VIDEO]

December 17, 2025

Imagine having an intelligent manufacturing assistant built directly into your simulation workflow, one that instantly answers your discrete event questions, streamlines complex optimization tasks, and helps you build better Plant Simulation models in a fraction of the time. That future is now a reality.

By offloading the repetitive and technical overhead — model exploration, code generation, data preparation, scenario setup, it guides engineers through search documentation to focus on high-value work like experimentation, insight generation, and system optimization. The result is faster modeling, clearer understanding, and dramatically shorter time-to-decision.

Washington Post features how Siemens digital twin technology is helping reimagine the future of modern manufacturing [ARTICLE]

December 15, 2025

Manufacturing is entering a new era, one where factories are designed, tested, and optimized long before a single piece of equipment is installed. In a recent Washington Post article, “The Digital Twin Age: Using Simulations to Boost Real-World Business,” journalist Jason Dan, Lead AI & Tech Analyst, explores how digital twin technology is transforming the way companies plan and operate industrial facilities.

At the center of this transformation referenced is Siemens, whose digital twin capabilities are helping manufacturers move faster, reduce risk, and rethink what’s possible in modern production.

Siemens showcases the future of AI-era manufacturing at NVIDIA GTC

November 25, 2025

At NVIDIA GTC in Washington, D.C., Siemens and NVIDIA demonstrated a new technology stack currently in development for the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. This live demo showed how engineers will soon be able to rapidly design, optimize, and manage the most advanced and accurate digital twins for future factories. By harnessing the integration between Siemens Xcelerator and NVIDIA Omniverse technologies, the new solution supports the creation of a holistic, highly realistic digital twin that unifies 3D visualization, simulation, and factory data into a single environment. This milestone marks a key step toward realizing the industrial metaverse — Siemens’ vision of seamlessly combining the real and digital worlds to unlock new levels of innovation, collaboration, and sustainable value creation for industry.
