At the opening of CES 2024, the world's main technology meeting, Siemens brought innovations that are combining the real and digital worlds to redefine reality. The company announced new partnerships and advances in AI and immersive engineering to enable the industrial metaverse. It also highlighted how these technologies are empowering the world's innovators to succeed through its open digital business platform, Siemens Xcelerator.
“We see the industrial metaverse as a virtual world almost indistinguishable from reality, enabling people, together with AI, to collaborate in real time to tackle real-world challenges,” said Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens. “This will enable customers to accelerate innovation, improve sustainability and adopt new technologies faster and at scale, leading to a profound transformation of entire industries and our everyday lives. Alongside our customers and partners, we are proud to announce new products that will bring the industrial metaverse closer to us all.”
“Siemens is making the industrial metaverse more accessible so our customers can use it to solve their real-world problems more quickly, sustainably and efficiently – and we will make it available to companies of all sizes, so everyone can transform their big ideas in innovations that move the world”, pointed out Cedrik Neike, member of the Executive Board of Siemens AG and CEO of Siemens Digital Industries.
Partnership between Siemens and Sony to enable immersive engineering
Siemens and Sony Corporation (Sony) have teamed up to introduce a solution that combines the Siemens Xcelerator industrial software portfolio with Sony's new spatial content creation system: the Mixed Reality (XR) display with high-performance 4K OLED microdisplays. quality and with controllers for intuitive interaction with 3D objects. By enabling designers and engineers to create and explore design concepts in an immersive, borderless work environment, the new solution will usher in content creation for the industrial metaverse. Expected to be available in 2024, Siemens NX™ Immersive Designer brings immersive design and collaborative product engineering capabilities to Siemens' flagship product engineering solution.

“At Sony, we are passionate about empowering creators with cutting-edge technologies, and in the field of spatial content, we have innovated the way they work by leveraging our unique motion and display technologies,” said Yoshinori Matsumoto, Executive Vice President and Executive in Charge by Sony Corporation Technology and Incubation. “By combining our technologies with Siemens’ engineering expertise, we are excited to offer engineering that is more immersive and redefines the daily workflow of designers and engineers. High-quality realistic rendering and intuitive interaction will provide creators with tools to pursue more immersive creative processes, further fueling innovation in the industrial metaverse.”
Partnership with Amazon to expand applications
Siemens and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are strengthening their partnership, helping companies of all sizes and industries build and scale generative artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Siemens is integrating Amazon Bedrock – a service that offers a choice of high-performance foundation models from leading AI companies through a single API, along with security, privacy and responsible AI features – with Mendix, the leading low-code platform that is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.
With a keynote speech and its presence at the event, Siemens highlights how its customers are using the Siemens Xcelerator open business platform to transform the way we live, work, act and make things happen.
- We live – Siemens is showcasing its smart home energy management portfolio – Inhab™ – at CES. The Intelligent Habitat suite of solutions allows users to have complete transparency and control over which sources are providing energy at any given time and how that energy is being distributed throughout the home. Features like real-time alerts, 24/7 monitoring, and energy target settings give residents the transparency they need to make informed decisions. As more home appliances go electric and we introduce electric vehicle charging and solar panels into homes, highly accurate monitoring and management solutions will help reduce energy consumption and utility bills while increasing security and capacity.
- We work – Siemens presents its partnership with Sony to deliver the next generation of the industrial metaverse, combining immersive engineering software innovations on the Siemens Xcelerator open business platform with Sony's innovative mixed reality hardware. In collaboration with Red Bull Racing, Siemens demonstrates how this new solution empowers engineers, freeing them from traditional constraints, to bring together the virtual and physical worlds, immersing them in the industrial metaverse.
- We act – Siemens' Experience at CES highlights how innovators are using Siemens Xcelerator platform to transform the way the world works. Unlimited Tomorrow is doing a transformative work by designing affordable, customizable and scalable prosthetics, working collaboratively with customers to help develop cleaner, safer environments for everyone, everywhere.
- We make it happen – THE Blendhub is using Siemens technology to combat food insecurity and transform food production. By deploying and connecting a multi-location network of personalized food and nutrition factories, placing them closer to ingredient supply points and end consumers, Blendhub is enabling a technology-driven approach to creating shared value in the global food system. foods.
Expanding the Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem
With the launch of the Siemens Xcelerator Developer Portal, Siemens takes a big step forward, delivering a pioneering platform that consolidates all Siemens APIs and developer resources. This portal, which is part of Siemens Xcelerator, operates on principles of openness and collaboration, providing developers with a unified space to explore and access Siemens and partner APIs.
The developer portal features a Chatbot in collaboration with Microsoft, paired with an innovative AI companion to enhance the development experience. Smoothly integrated with leading API platforms like Postman, the Siemens Xcelerator Developer Portal ensures a streamlined, developer-friendly journey from discovery to deployment.
