Since establishing a strategic partnership in June 2022, Siemens and NVIDIA have continuously made new breakthroughs in the field of industrial artificial intelligence (AI). Recently, Siemens launched a new product series as an important part of the Industrial Operations X portfolio, aiming to accelerate the application of AI in industrial scenarios.

New Product Launch

The new product series launched by Siemens integrates NVIDIA's full-stack accelerated computing platform, enabling it to handle more complex AI tasks in industrial scenarios, such as AI-based robotics, quality inspection, predictive maintenance, and operational optimization. The launch of this product marks another milestone in the collaboration between Siemens and NVIDIA.

Rainer Brehm, CEO of Factory Automation at Siemens Digital Industries, stated that digital transformation requires high-performance industrial-grade systems, and the new product launched by Siemens will accelerate the application of AI in the industrial sector. Through Industrial Operations X, Siemens can efficiently apply the latest achievements in industrial AI to companies of various sizes and across different industries.

Performance Enhancement and Widespread Application

The fully integrated hardware and software products of Siemens, combined with NVIDIA's AI technology, are expected to increase the speed of AI execution in workshops by about 25 times, helping customers reduce costs and accelerate product launches. Rev Lebaredian, Vice President of Omniverse and Simulation Technologies at NVIDIA, said that NVIDIA's accelerated computing platform and AI technology can significantly enhance customers' production efficiency and flexibility, achieving higher levels of digitization.

To promote the widespread application of cutting-edge technologies, Siemens and NVIDIA are committed to empowering automation engineers to use AI technology without extensive coding knowledge. Siemens' Industrial Operations X not only provides no-code tools for integrating, managing, and executing AI solutions but also launches various "ready-to-use" AI applications. For example, NVIDIA-powered Siemens SIMATIC Robot Pick AI allows factory technicians without AI expertise to create AI-driven robotic solutions to meet warehouse automation needs.

Innovative Product Highlights

Embedded IPC SIMATIC BX-35A: A compact device based on NVIDIA's Jetson Orin NX system-on-module (SoM), featuring low power consumption and a fanless design for high-performance AI computing.

High-Performance Workstations and Servers: Including the SIMATIC IPC RW-545A workstation, SIMATIC IPC RS-828A server, and high-performance modular box PC SIMATIC IPC BX-59A, meeting the needs for high-performance AI technology integration, management, and execution in industrial environments.

Industrial Automation and Operational Optimization: Supported by NVIDIA NIM inference microservices, Siemens' Industrial Copilot for Operations can run at industrial sites, providing real-time access to operational and documentation data, reducing decision-making time, and minimizing machine downtime.

In the future, Siemens plans to preload NVIDIA AI software onto its IPCs and further accelerate the widespread application of industrial AI in more industries based on the Industrial OS real-time operating system. As the integration of AI and machine vision solutions continues to increase in the industrial sector, Siemens and NVIDIA will continue to drive the widespread application of cutting-edge technologies, injecting new momentum into the digital transformation of industries.
