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.

From factory floor to designing new facilities: how Plant Simulation became part of Dexcom’s DNA [VIDEO]

From production line to layout design, explore how a medical technology pioneer for diabetes management and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) optimizes factory operations with innovative use cases of Siemens Plant Simulation.

Bridging Design and Simulation: Seamless Kinematics Exchange Between NX and Process Simulate

In advanced manufacturing, every second counts – and even small disconnects between design and simulation can lead to delays, rework, and inefficiencies. When engineers develop complex equipment with moving parts – like industrial robots or custom machinery – it’s not just the geometry that matters. The kinematics – how components move and interact – must also be precisely defined and seamlessly integrated into the workflow.

Simulation without limits: bringing AI, Digital Twin, and Copilots to the Factory Floor 

In a recent webinar hosted by leading industry publication Automation World, Uli Rossgoderer, Senior Director of Portfolio Development for the Tecnomatix portfolio, joined the discussion to discuss how manufacturing simulation technologies are becoming more intelligent, accessible, and impactful across the manufacturing floor. Watch the discussion and see how AI-powered copilots, low-code interfaces, and seamless connectivity to real production data is helping empower the users of advanced manufacturing simulation.
