Siemens and NVIDIA expand industrial AI partnership

Siemens and NVIDIA have expanded their strategic partnership at CES to develop an industrial AI operating system and a suite of AI‑accelerated industrial tools.

The companies, in an announcement, said NVIDIA will provide AI infrastructure, simulation libraries, models, frameworks and blueprints, while Siemens will commit hundreds of industrial AI experts and hardware and software to the effort.

They said the collaboration will span the full product and production lifecycle, applying an "AI Brain" powered by software‑defined automation, Siemens operations software, NVIDIA Omniverse libraries and NVIDIA AI infrastructure.

Several customers, including Foxconn, HD Hyundai, KION Group and PepsiCo, are already evaluating some capabilities.

“Together, we are building the Industrial AI operating system — redefining how the physical world is designed, built and run — to scale AI and create real-world impact," Siemens CEO Roland Busch commented.

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, meanwhile, added: “Generative AI and accelerated computing have ignited a new industrial revolution, transforming digital twins from passive simulations into the active intelligence of the physical world.”

The companies said Siemens will complete GPU acceleration across its simulation portfolio, expand support for NVIDIA CUDA‑X libraries and AI physics models, and integrate NVIDIA CUDA‑X libraries, PhysicsNeMo and GPU acceleration across its EDA portfolio, targeting 2-10x speedups in key workflows.

They also said they will add AI‑assisted tools for layout guidance, debug support and circuit optimization.

The Recap

• Siemens and NVIDIA expand partnership to build Industrial AI OS.
• Siemens will add GPU acceleration across its simulation portfolio.
• First AI-driven adaptive factory blueprint starts in Erlangen in 2026.
