Siemens is expanding its partnership with Nvidia to build an Industrial AI Operating System to help customers change the way they design, engineer, and operate physical systems.
The partnership will build AI-accelerated industrial solutions across the full lifecycle of products and production.
Part of a host of announcements from Siemens at CES 2026, it revealed it is expanding it partnership with Nvidia, launching 9 new industrial copilots and collaborating with Meta on its AI glasses
Alongside Nvidia, the companies are aiming to co-build the world’s first fully AI-driven, adaptive manufacturing sites globally, starting in 2026 with the Siemens Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Germany.
“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,” said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
Nvidia will provide AI infrastructure, simulation libraries, models and frameworks while Siemens provides AI experts, hardware and software.
“Our partnership with Siemens fuses the world’s leading industrial software with Nvidia’s full-stack AI platform to close the gap between ideas and reality. Empowering industries to simulate complex systems in software, then seamlessly automate and operate them in the physical world,” added Huang.
Siemens spotlighted their partnership with Microsoft in building CoreAI and announced 9 new AI-powered copilots for its software offerings including Teamcenter, Polarion, and Opcenter, which will be available to companies of every size on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace.
“Just as electricity once revolutionised the world, industry is shifting toward elements where AI powers products, factories, buildings, grids and transportation. Industrial AI
is no longer a feature; it’s a force that will reshape the next century,” said Siemens AG president and CEO Roland Busch.
“Siemens is delivering AI-native capabilities, intelligence embedded end-to-end across design, engineering and operations, to help our customers anticipate issues, accelerate
innovation and reduce cost.”
This broadening of copilots is said to streamline product data navigation, reduce errors and accelerate time to market, along with automating compliance, helping to ensure faster regulatory approvals and lower risk; and transforming manufacturing processes, driving cost savings and operational efficiency.
In further manufacturing announcements, Siemens will collaborate with Meta to bring Industrial AI to Ray-Ban AI Glasses.
With hands-free, real-time audio guidance, safety insights, and feedback, shop floor workers will feel empowered to solve problems efficiently and confidently.
