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.

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.

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.

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.

At this year’s Plant Simulation Users Conference during Realize Live 2025 in Amsterdam, Siemens presented a key topic at the heart of digital transformation: Integration of Optimize my plant with Insights Hub: Connecting the Real and Digital World. In today’s fast-moving industrial landscape, creating a digital twin is only the first step. The real value comes from calibrating that twin so it mirrors real-world performance and then using it to support everyday decisions. This blog recaps the key insights from the session and explores how this integration drives operational transparency, efficiency, and sustainability across the shop floor.

Hannover Messe 2025 brought together global leaders in industrial innovation under the powerful theme: “Industrial Transformation Energizing a Sustainable Future.” From automation to AI, the event spotlighted technologies redefining how industries operate. Plant Simulation and Optimize plant proudly joined the conversation. Explore how Plant Simulation and Optimize my plant are helping pharmaceutical companies tackle one of their most costly challenges: unplanned downtime.

Optimize my plant is a cloud-based solution available in the Tecnomatix portfolio, designed to transform manufacturing decision-making by integrating digital simulation models with real-time data. By connecting Plant Simulation models to Optimize my plant, manufacturers can create always-on, calibrated Digital Twins, enabling fast, data-driven scenario analysis for optimizing the performance of production systems.
