Igniting the industrial AI future: Roland Busch at CES 2026 introducing Digital Twin Composer

At CES 2026, Siemens CEO Roland Busch introduced Digital Twin Composer, a new way for companies to design, simulate and optimize factories and operations digitally before they ever break ground. Built on the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, it brings software from the Tecnomatix portfolio among other solutions, to improve material flow, validate automation and boost performance long before commissioning.
Busch also spotlighted the expansion of our partnership with NVIDIA, combining Siemens’ industrial expertise with accelerated AI to create smarter, more predictive digital twins. And the results are already tangible: PepsiCo is using Digital Twin Composer to modernize manufacturing and warehouse operations, cutting capital costs and identifying issues early in the virtual world, before they become real.

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

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. 

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

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

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.
