Siemens strengthens its technological leadership in fast-growing battery market
With this strategic agreement, Siemens is expanding its footprint in the battery manufacturing industry. The company has recently signed several partnerships with leading companies, demonstrating its deep domain know-how in this dynamic and fast-growing market.
“Speed, scale, sustainability: That’s what battery manufacturers need. And this is what our customers get at Siemens better than anywhere else,” said Cedrik Neike, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, and CEO Digital Industries. “With this partnership, we underscore our position as prime partner to battery manufacturers worldwide.”
As part of their
strategic partnership, Siemens and NVIDIA have developed a showcase for Hannover Messe highlighting the transformative potential of the industrial metaverse. A cloud based digital twin of the next-generation FREYR factories, created using AWS IoT TwinMaker and demonstrated in a custom Siemens application built on the
NVIDIA Omniverse platform, the exhibit illustrates how companies like FREYR can make better and faster engineering decisions by visually interacting with, experiencing and utilizing the comprehensive digital twin across the product, production and service lifecycles in a high-fidelity, immersive environment. The model integrates operational data from the factory, 3D definitions of the building, plant, machinery, and equipment, human ergonomics and safety information, detailed production processes, robots and automatic guided vehicles, and simulations of products and production. The exhibit highlights the possible integrations between the Siemens Xcelerator and
NVIDIA Omniverse platforms.
“Combining the power of Siemens’ expertise in industrial automation and digital twin technologies with NVIDIA AI computing and Omniverse will let companies like FREYR take full advantage of the industrial metaverse,” said Rev Lebaredian, Vice President of Omniverse and simulation technology at NVIDIA. “With the new connections between the Siemens Xcelerator and NVIDIA Omniverse platforms, the world’s manufacturers will reach new heights of digitalization and AI-enabled automation, supercharging their efficiency, agility and innovation.”
“Working together, Siemens and AWS are making it easier for industrial customers to use Siemens Xcelerator and AWS’s industry‐leading cloud services like AWS IoT TwinMaker to deliver new manufacturing insights, automation, and connected services,” said Bill Vass, Vice President of Engineering at AWS. “As we identify new ways to leverage the cloud and virtualization technology to solve real-world problems like EV battery production, working with leaders like Siemens will help companies of any size turn industrial complexity into a competitive advantage.”
