Nvidia, Siemens Expand Partnership to Develop Fully AI-Driven Manufacturing Sites
By Elias Schisgall
Nvidia and Siemens are expanding their industrial and physical artificial-intelligence partnership, aiming to build the first fully AI-driven, adaptive manufacturing sites this year.
The companies said Tuesday at the Consumer Electronics Show 2026 in Las Vegas that they will leverage Nvidia's AI infrastructure and Siemen's industrial AI experts, hardware and software, including its digital twins technology, to build AI solutions across full industrial lifecycles.
They are using Siemens Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Germany, as a first blueprint for the project, expected to start this year.
Siemens also will complete GPU acceleration across its simulation portfolio and expand support for Nvidia libraries and models, and both companies will advance generative simulation work using Nvidia PhysicsNeMo as part of the expansion, they said.
"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 Chief Executive Roland Busch said.
The companies said several customers are already evaluating these capabilities, including Foxconn, HD Hyundai, KION Group, and PepsiCo, which said on Tuesday it was partnering with the two tech firms to modernize its physical production processes.
Siemens and Nvidia said they hope to develop a repeatable blueprint for AI-powered factories to accelerate deployment. They also said they are implementing new technologies in their own systems to create proof points of value and scalability before scaling them across various sectors.
