Shaping the Future of Aerospace & Defense: Human-Centric Design at Northrop Grumman 

December 18, 2025

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

December 18, 2025

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.

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.

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

November 7, 2025

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.
