Munich, GERMANY - This should accelerate the use of digital twins that can deliver productivity and process improvements across the production and product lifecycles.

Siemens and NVIDIA announced an expansion of their partnership to enable the industrial metaverse and increase the use of AI-driven digital twin technology that should help bring industrial automation to a new level.

The companies plan to connect Siemens' open digital business platform and NVIDIA's platform for 3D design and collaboration. This should enable an industrial metaverse with physics-based digital models from Siemens and real-time AI from NVIDIA.

According to Siemens, this will accelerate the use of digital twins that can deliver productivity and process improvements across the production and product lifecycles. Companies of all sizes should be able to employ digital twins with real-time performance data; create innovative industrial IoT solutions; leverage actionable insights from analytics at the edge or in the cloud; and tackle the engineering challenges of tomorrow by making visually rich, immersive simulations more accessible.

"Photorealistic, physics-based digital twins embedded in the industrial metaverse offer enormous potential to transform our economies and industries by providing a virtual world where people can interact and collaborate to solve real-world problems. Through this partnership, we will make the industrial metaverse a reality for companies of all sizes," said Roland Busch, President and Chief Executive Officer, Siemens AG.
