The future of bridging humans, robots, and humanoids with Process Simulate software [VIDEO]

The manufacturing industry is entering a new era where humanoid robots are expected to gradually enter the factory floor within the next few years. However, their ability to rapidly learn and adapt makes them particularly exciting — but also introduces new levels of uncertainty for manufacturers. This is where Siemens advanced manufacturing simulation and validation software, Process Simulate, becomes indispensable, allowing manufacturers to virtually model and simulate the entire ecosystem — humans, robots, and automation systems — and eventually humanoids, within a unified production environment. By modeling humanoids within Process Simulate Human, manufacturers could test feasibility, validate ergonomics, plan workflows, and de-risk integration before deployment.

Pierre Fabre Driving Sustainable Water Management with Siemens Digital Twin Technology

Pierre Fabre is a leading French pharmaceutical and dermo-cosmetic company. The group faced increasing pressure to improve the sustainability of its water management practices without compromising operational reliability. By creating a digital twin of its water management system, the company gained the ability to simulate diverse scenarios and accurately forecast consumption patterns on both daily and seasonal scales.

Next-generation Ergonomics: Xsens & Siemens Process Simulate join forces to put motion capture and simulation in manufacturing 

In today’s manufacturing landscape, ergonomics isn’t just about comfort, it’s about productivity, safety, and efficiency. Observation and questionnaires only go so far. The integration of Xsens motion capture technology and Siemens Process Simulate software, you can now virtually analyze workstation design using authentic human movement data, leading to more informed decisions earlier in your design process.

Transforming Parcel Hubs: How Digital Twins are Paving the Way for Smarter, Ergonomic Operations 

In today’s competitive logistics landscape, operational efficiency and employee welfare are not mutually exclusive goals. In a “Virtual Parcel Hub”, researchers from the Institute of Logistics Engineering at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) demonstrated how advanced digital solutions can create a harmonious balance between productivity and ergonomics. This case study, supported by Siemens Xcelerator Portolio, including Plant Simulation and Simcenter HEEDS, offers valuable insights for organizations seeking to optimize their operations without compromising on employee care. 

What’s new in Optimize my plant 2509: Unlocking the Future of Digital Manufacturing

With each release, Optimize my plant (OMP) evolves to provide engineers and manufacturers with more powerful tools for simulation, integration, and decision support.

The new version 2509 introduces enhancements in simulation, connectivity, and visualization that improve precision, accelerate workflows, and enable deeper insights into production performance.

Smarter Workstations, Stronger Operations: Siemens Mendix and Process Simulate in Action [VIDEO]

Manufacturers everywhere face the same pressure: deliver flawless quality, end-to-end traceability, and agility — while empowering the people who make it all happen. The question is simple, but the answer is not: how do you achieve operational excellence without overwhelming operators or creating barriers with complex technologies? 

Operators are expected to manage machines, configure tools, record data, and double-check every step. These tasks are critical but often repetitive and time-consuming. Imagine if the system could take care of them automatically—guaranteeing right-first-time quality while freeing operators to focus on higher-value work. That’s exactly what Siemens is delivering with intelligent workstations powered by Siemens Mendix and Process Simulate.

Transforming Manufacturing Simulation with AI: BSH’s journey with Siemens Process Simulate Copilot

BSH is one of the world’s leading home appliance manufacturers and as a longtime Siemens customer, BSH has worked extensively with Siemens on 3D manufacturing simulation and digitalization projects to optimize production planning and validation. Most recently, AI is central to Siemens and BSH’s collaboration, with the AI-powered Process Simulate Copilot making advanced manufacturing simulation more accessible. Explore how the Process Simulate Copilot helps empower both simulation experts and beginners optimize operations faster and more effectively. In workshops, it reduced optimization time from hours to minutes and often improved quality. This partnership highlights how human-AI collaboration can accelerate manufacturing simulation and broaden participation in Industry 4.0.

Unlocking Production Performance with Optimize my plant at GWE

As a multi-award-winning plant, the Electronic Device Plant Erlangen (GWE) manufactures and develops industrial control systems for machine tools and production machines, drives and frequency inverters. In a highly diverse market with up to 1,000 product variants, Electronics Factory Erlangen has been successfully implementing end-to-end digitalisation and flexible automation for years.

Balancing Sustainability and Productivity Through The Digital Twin in the Food and Beverage Industry

The food and beverage industry is under constant pressure to maintain quality, keep cost under control, respond quickly to market demand all while meeting sustainability goals. 

It’s a complex puzzle and Optimize my plant helps manufacturers navigate this complexity. By creating a live digital twin of operations, it allows teams to simulate different scenarios, compare outcomes, and make smarter decisions to predict and optimize factory operations to reach the extra percentage of efficiency every shift.
