On September 24, 2025, Shanghai - At the 25th China International Industrial Fair (CIIF 2025), Siemens showcased its latest breakthroughs in industrial automation, digitization, artificial intelligence (AI), and sustainable development with over 180 hardcore products and solutions under the theme of "Integration of Data and Reality, New Intelligence Growth". From AI applications covering the entire industrial production cycle, to new generation industrial products that combine software and hardware, and to ecological cooperation that empowers thousands of industries, Siemens is driving China's manufacturing industry through the dual wheels of "technology+ecology" to break through growth bottlenecks and unleash new quality productivity.

Industrial AI landing acceleration: Industrial Copilot makes its debut in China, increasing efficiency by 30%

At the Industrial Fair, Siemens and Top Think Tank jointly released the "2025 Industrial Intelligent Agent Trend Outlook Report", which revealed the core challenges and paths for the implementation of industrial AI. The report shows that although 83% of enterprises recognize the value of industrial AI in improving efficiency and reducing costs, only 8% of enterprises have implemented multi scenario applications, and 43% of enterprises have not yet deployed it. High deployment costs, lack of professional talent, and insufficient technological maturity have become the main obstacles.

In response to this pain point, Siemens has launched its globally leading generative industrial AI assistant, Industrial Copilot, and made its debut in China on the EMB intelligent assembly line of Zhongke Motong new energy vehicles. By integrating big language models with Siemens' profound industry knowledge, Industrial Copilot assists engineers in completing tasks such as automation program development and equipment debugging, reducing program development time by 30%, shortening production line debugging cycles by 30%, and reducing labor and material losses by 10%. This pilot project validates the true value of industrial AI in complex manufacturing environments and provides a replicable landing paradigm for the industry.

Dr. Xiao Song, Global Executive Vice President and Chairman of Siemens in China, stated that the true value of industrial AI lies in the deep integration of technology, data, and industry mechanisms. Siemens, with 150PB of engineering data accumulation, practical experience in over 40 industries, and full stack capabilities that combine software and hardware, is upgrading AI from an 'auxiliary tool' to an 'industrial field conductor', helping enterprises achieve real benefits

Soft and Hard Collaborative Innovation: Over 10 New Products Launch, Breaking Through IT/OT Barriers

At the Industrial Fair, Siemens released a series of new products that combine software and hardware, further consolidating the technological foundation for the landing of industrial AI:

SIMATIC ET 200BL Distributed I/O System: Developed in TIA Botu environment, supports rapid deployment, significantly reduces engineering costs, and is suitable for harsh industrial environments.

SMART LINE PLUS Exciting Panel: Added third-party device compatibility and local data recording function, reducing configuration time and improving fault diagnosis efficiency.

SIMOTICS E DC servo electromechanical integration solution: designed specifically for high dynamic response scenarios, widely used in AGV/AMR steering, intelligent warehousing sorting and other fields to enhance equipment flexibility and production efficiency.

BFC Baixuda 3.0 Industrial IoT Connection Software: strengthens compatibility with multiple brand devices and ensures secure data transmission throughout the entire chain, supports flexible analysis, and helps enterprises explore the value of data assets.

In addition, Siemens also showcased the FMT020 electromagnetic flow transmitter designed specifically for the Chinese market, which supports multiple communication protocols and harsh operating conditions, as well as the 5S COM intelligent terminal power distribution new product that integrates intelligent detection and remote control functions, promoting intelligent management of power distribution systems.

Ecological empowerment: Nearly 40 enterprises have signed contracts to jointly build an industrial AI innovation ecosystem

The large-scale implementation of industrial AI cannot be separated from ecological collaboration. During the Industrial Fair, Siemens signed cooperation agreements with nearly 40 companies, covering multiple fields such as automobiles, new energy, electronics, and equipment manufacturing. For example:

Deepen cooperation with China Automotive Engineering Corporation to jointly promote the construction of digital factories in the automotive industry;

Jointly develop AI solutions based on industrial data cloud with Xuelang Cloud to assist in process industry optimization;

Collaborate with Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute to establish Suzhou Surrey University (preparatory) advanced manufacturing discipline, cultivating a new generation of industrial transformation talents.

Siemens also collaborates with over 60 Chinese AI partners through the open digital business platform Xcelerator to accelerate the development and implementation of joint solutions. For example, Teamcenter Digital Reality Viewer, launched in collaboration with NVIDIA, introduces physics based visualization capabilities into Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) to reduce decision errors; The immersive engineering solution in collaboration with Sony utilizes mixed reality technology to achieve 3D collaborative design and improve engineering efficiency.

Sustainable Development: Technology Empowers Green Transformation, Energy Consumption Halves Case Recognized

Under the "dual carbon" goal, Siemens uses technology to support industrial green development. For example, its technology has helped the Berlin State Library achieve a halving of energy consumption, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 4000 tons annually, and the energy-saving costs fully cover the project costs. In addition, Siemens has launched the Smart ECX smart energy carbon platform, which provides one-stop services such as energy consumption data query and energy audit report generation for enterprises through the built-in AI assistant energy carbon management function, helping process industries create a "zero carbon future".

Future Outlook: From the "Year of Intelligent Agents" to "Manufacturing+AI"

2025 is defined by Siemens as the 'Year of Intelligent Agents'. With the continuous expansion of the Industrial Copilot ecosystem, Siemens is accelerating the construction of the Industrial Foundation Model, creating a "universal language" for processing engineering languages such as 3D models and industrial sensing data, and promoting the evolution of AI from single task assistance to full process autonomous execution.

Dr. Xiao Song emphasized that "China's vast industrial system is the most dynamic application scenario for AI. Siemens will use 'integration of data and reality' as a link, work together with ecological partners, and drive China's manufacturing industry from 'AI+manufacturing' to 'manufacturing+AI', providing Chinese solutions for global industrial transformation. ”
