Siemens Unveiled Industrial AI Operating System with NVIDIA at CES 2026, Launches Digital Twin Composer

Siemens presented several AI-related technologies and partnerships at CES 2026, focusing on applications across industrial sectors.

Siemens and NVIDIA announced an expansion of their partnership to develop an Industrial AI Operating System. The collaboration aims to apply AI across the end-to-end industrial value chain, including design, engineering, manufacturing, production, operations, and supply chains. The companies plan to create AI-accelerated solutions for faster innovation, continuous optimization, and more resilient and sustainable manufacturing. They intend to establish fully AI-driven, adaptive manufacturing sites, with the Siemens Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Germany, serving as the initial site starting in 2026.

NVIDIA will supply AI infrastructure, simulation libraries, models, frameworks, and blueprints. Siemens will contribute hundreds of industrial AI experts along with its hardware and software. The identified focus areas include AI-native EDA, AI-native simulation, AI-driven adaptive manufacturing and supply chain, and AI-factories.

Siemens will integrate NVIDIA NIM and NVIDIA Nemotron open AI models into its electronic design automation (EDA) software to support generative and agentic workflows for semiconductor and PCB design. This integr...
