Siemens Recognized as a Market Shaper in the June 2026 Gartner® Emerging Market Quadrant for Physical AI Services- Established Vendors

From the screen to the shop floor Siemens is helping industrial companies put AI to work in the real world. Siemens has been recognized as a Market Shaper in the 2026 Gartner® Emerging Market Quadrant for Physical AI Services — Established Vendors.

We believe this reflects our focus on helping industrial companies move AI from concept to real-world application, from the screen to the shop floor, enabled by Siemens Xcelerator, our open digital business platform, combining a curated portfolio, partner ecosystem, and marketplace to help industrial companies accelerate and scale digital transformation.

Physical AI is one of the fastest-moving frontiers in industrial technology, but the challenge for most companies isn’t imagining what’s possible; it’s putting it to work safely and reliably on the factory floor. That’s where Siemens comes in, with a portfolio of offerings driving Physical AI forward, including:

• Autonomous Factory: a consulting service guiding clients toward AI-powered production optimization, predictive maintenance, AI-driven quality assurance, and Digital Twin simulation, elevating operations toward self-optimizing, situation-adaptive manufacturing.
• Industrial AI Suite: end-to-end AI from cloud to shop floor as part of the Industrial Edge ecosystem.
• SIMATIC Robot Pick AI: pre-trained, deep learning vision software that identifies optimal robotic pick points on arbitrary and unknown objects at runtime.
• Tecnomatix portfolio (Process Simulate and Plant Simulation): digital manufacturing software for simulation and validation of human tasks, robotics, automation, and plant-level logistics across the production lifecycle.
• SIMATIC APC engineering services: machine learning, data-driven, and model-based control applications for closed-loop process optimization, from opportunity assessment to implementation and lifecycle support.

Siemens works with industrial clients worldwide across manufacturing, energy and utilities, infrastructure and transportation, combining deep domain expertise with real-world design, engineering and production know-how. With Siemens Xcelerator – the launchpad for Industrial AI – and its extensive partner ecosystem behind it, customers have a proven path to scale AI-powered innovation across their operations.

How Siemens’ Tecnomatix portfolio is helping bring Physical AI to life

Siemens’ Tecnomatix portfolio is central to how Siemens brings Physical AI to life at the production system level. Process Simulate lets teams plan, simulate, and validate human tasks, robotics, and automation across the full product lifecycle, from concept and engineering through commissioning, production, and continuous improvement, with human work modeled alongside machines, and ongoing work to extend that same validation to humanoid robots. Plant Simulation complements this by modeling and analyzing production systems and logistics to optimize material flow and resource use, from global facilities down to individual lines. Together, the two create a full digital replica of the real production system, grounded in actual product data, equipment, and building information. This enables 360° validation of key variables like product variant mix, available production space, and target yield, with Physical AI built directly into that validation. It also lets Siemens meet customers where they are, reducing complexity so automation and robotics programmers can adopt physical AI services regardless of maturity level.

Siemens’ deep Digital Twin expertise and large installed base in industrial software, including simulation, puts us in a strong position as users look to level up their automation with Physical AI. Given our understanding of the customer problem and the broader Siemens context, Physical AI continues to be a core part of Siemens’ automation strategy, spanning engineering, simulation, validation, and commissioning.
