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. 

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.

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.

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.
