- In November 2024, Siemens Innovation Day highlighted advancements in AI, the Industrial Metaverse, and sustainable technology solutions aimed at improving productivity, quality, and energy efficiency in industries like manufacturing and infrastructure. The event showcased how combining technologies like digital twins and generative AI can enhance factory productivity, optimize energy systems, and support sustainable urban infrastructure.
- In September 2022, NVIDIA launched its first software- and infrastructure-as-a-service offering, Omniverse Cloud, a suite of cloud services designed for building and operating industrial metaverse applications. The platform enabled users to design, collaborate, and operate 3D workflows without local compute power. It was particularly useful for industries like robotics, autonomous vehicles, and automotive design, offering scalable, AI-driven simulations and sensor data generation.
- In January 2024, Siemens and Sony launched a new industrial metaverse system at CES 2024, combining Siemens' Xcelerator software with Sony’s spatial content creation system. The system features a VR headset with 4K OLED displays, spatial recognition, and video see-through functionality, enabling designers and engineers to collaborate in a "borderless immersive workspace." This immersive platform, using Siemens’ software and Sony’s hardware, allows for sophisticated 3D content creation and real-time collaboration, enhancing design processes.
- In June 2022, Siemens and NVIDIA expanded their partnership to enable the industrial metaverse by connecting Siemens Xcelerator with NVIDIA Omniverse. This collaboration aimed to integrate physics-based digital twins and AI-driven systems, enhancing decision-making and productivity across the entire lifecycle from design to operation.
