Digitally Explosive: How Siemens Intelligence Center X is Forging the Future of Product Realization

Tony HEMMELGARN, Siemens’ PLM Boss: ”Moving from experimentation to industrial AI orchestration and scaling.”
Siemens Digital Industries Software is rapidly cementing its position as the market leader in industrial AI. Arguably, no other competitor has moved as fast in pioneering the convergence of AI, connected PLM, and smart manufacturing solutions.
When Tony Hemmelgarn, CEO of Siemens Digital Industries Software, took the stage at the company’s flagship event, Realize LIVE 2026 in Detroit, the energy among the 3,000 attendees was palpable. His keynote on 'Industrial Intelligence' delivered a powerful message: his team is currently deploying disruptive digital solutions that could redefine both product realization and further extend Siemens' market lead.
But how does Siemens define Industrial Intelligence? It is the intersection of the comprehensive digital twin, lifecycle intelligence, and adaptive execution. Translating this ecosystem into actionable enterprise solutions will be a game-changer, Hemmelgarn noted:
"The future of technology and manufacturing belongs to companies that learn, predict, and optimize products before they are ever built—leveraging physics, AI, and real-world data."
While the vision is grand, Siemens backs it up with substance rather than mere corporate rhetoric. The concrete proof of this ambition is the newly unveiled Intelligence Center X. Hemmelgarn’s introduction of the platform in Detroit clearly struck a chord with the audience.
"It's a new software for industrial AI orchestration, helping organizations move from isolated experiments to scalable business impact," says Siemens PLM boss. ”As part of Siemens Xcelerator, the platform combines Mendix—the low-code engine—with Graph Studio and AI Studio from the RapidMiner portfolio. This allows humans and AI agents to collaborate seamlessly within a hybrid workforce, featuring shared context, coordinated workflows, and complete traceability.”
This system also proves that last year's $10.6 billion acquisition of Altair Engineering is already paying dividends. Siemens’ digital edge is increasingly defined by Altair’s HPC, simulation, and analysis capabilities, combined with the power of the NVIDIA partnership. All of this innovation is directed by Tony Hemmelgarn, who has emerged as a leading visionary in the PLM industry.

Handshake Worth Billions: TCS Takes Over SKF’s Global IT and Lays the Foundation for...

"The coming decade of industrial manufacturing will be defined by how deeply companies integrate AI into design, production, and service delivery," notes SKF CEO Rickard Gustafson.
To lead this transformation, SKF has signed a strategic global agreement with IT consultant Tata Consultrancy Services (TCS) to drive the AI transformation of its operations. The deal entails TCS taking over the operation of SKF's global IT infrastructure—encompassing business systems, data security, and connectivity—across 130 countries. The overarching goal is to modernize the technology landscape, standardize workflows, and build a robust AI foundation for the entire group.
This decision is particularly intriguing given SKF's recent, highly active approach to IT. The company has already initiated a massive cloud migration and upgrade of its SAP S/4HANA Cloud system via ’RISE with SAP.´ This effort is designed to unify global operations on a single real-time platform, allowing SKF to integrate embedded AI and machine learning to streamline financial and order-processing workflows.
For TCS, this agreement represents a major milestone. While financial details remain undisclosed, industry analysts estimate the contract to be worth several hundred million dollars. It is a substantial investment, but one that will enable SKF to build a future-proof digital organization.
"The coming decade in industrial manufacturing will be defined by how deeply companies integrate AI into their design, production, and service delivery. SKF intends to lead that transformation,” he says, adding: ”With TCS as our partner, we are not just modernizing our technology; we are also building the operational and AI foundations that will set new standards for precision and customer value in our industry. This is a long-term commitment between two companies that share a clear vision for the future of industrial manufacturing."
TCS CEO K. Krithivasan agrees: "Our partnership will modernize their global IT environment and build a robust, scalable digital foundation for the future. Together, we are using data-driven intelligence and AI to create a nimble organization capable of adapting quickly to technological shifts. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to making SKF an industry-leading, AI-driven manufacturer."
Behind the scenes, however, SKF's current industrial IT ecosystem remains a fragmented mix. In product development, the company relies primarily on PTC's Creo for CAD design and Windchill for managing e-BOMs (engineering Bills of Materials). Manufacturing operations introduce further variety: Siemens NX handles CAM design and processes, while the Gothenburg facility utilizes Siemens Teamcenter. Meanwhile, SAP serves as the overarching ERP backbone.

Hon skalar upp AI från ”DIGITALT DAMM” till REAL PRODUKTION: Möt Siemens PLM Nordics...

Så ska ZANDRA NILSSON ta grepp om AI i de nordiska kundföretagen.
Vem kommer att vinna slaget om industriell AI – med den typ av lösning som överskrider digitalt damm och slagord för att leverera konkret produktdesign, fysisk produktion och kraftfulla effektivitetsvinster? Det är en av dagens mest centrala frågor. Utmaningarna slutar dock inte där, då nya banbrytande teknologier stärker sitt grepp om PLM-industrin. Elektrifiering, elektronik och mjukvarans växande betydelse är alla avgörande faktorer i spelet om framtiden.
Att i detta läge ta rodret för en av Nordens viktigaste leverantörer av PLM är ingen liten utmaning. Fråga Zandra Nilsson, VP och chef för Siemens Digital Industries Software Nordics and Baltics. Hon vet.
Efter att ha tillbringat drygt ett år för att ta sig förbi hindren på resan i detta krävande landskap har Nilsson skapat en ledningsgrupp som kombinerar domänexpertis med nya perspektiv. Det är en nyckelfaktor framöver, säger hon: "Ja, vi behöver ledare som kan styra oss genom den AI-era vi nu står inför. Detta kräver individer som förstår våra kunders branscher, men som också utmanar oss som har varit med länge att tänka i nya banor."
Nilsson hävdar att Siemens utmärker sig specifikt när det gäller industriell AI: "När jag tillträdde tillkännagavs förvärven av Altair och Dotmatics, vilket accelererade Siemens AI-drivna innovation inom life science, process och diskret tillverkning. Altair breddade vår simuleringsportfölj – vilket gjorde oss till en ledare inom nästan alla discipliner – men det stärkte också vår AI-position med helt nya funktioner. Genom att kombinera detta med vår befintliga Mendix-plattform för agentisk utveckling kan vi nu leverera skalbar och agentisk AI i en pålitlig, säker och kontrollerad miljö."
Det här är onekligen nödvändiga förbättringar i kampen om AI-marknaden, som hittills inte varit någon söndagspromenad. Enligt analytiker har misslyckandegraden i att leverera förväntat tekniskt värde legat mellan 80–85 %. Dessutom har MIT-studier visat ett stort antal generativa AI-pilotprojekt som misslyckas med att skapa mätbara ROI:er. Samtidigt förutspådde Gartner nyligen att 60 % av alla AI-projekt som saknar korrekt datastruktur kommer att överges.
Är detta, som Gartners Frank Ridder föreslår, en fråga om en "AI-värdekris”? Nja, ingenting inom PLM är enkelt från början; historiskt sett kan det ta år upp till ett decennium innan nya, komplexa teknologier blir tillämpbara modeller. AI är inget undantag. År 2026 handlar kampen om industriell AI inte längre bara om att ha den bästa modellen, utan också om att kontextualisera data och länka den direkt till produktutvecklingens värdekedja, och i förlängningen till fysisk produktion: "Skalning genom kontext, inte kod."
Genom sitt helhetsgrepp och sitt senaste initiativ "Industriell AI" har Siemens en konkurrensfördel. Hur då? Läs hela dagens djupintervju på PLM&ERP News.

Scaling AI From Digital Dust to Real-World Production: Meet Siemens VP/MD Zandra Nilsson

Boss for Siemens Digital Industries Software, the Nordic and Baltic PLM division.
Who will win the race for industrial AI—the kind that transcends digital dust and PR buzzwords to deliver tangible product design, physical production, and powerhouse efficiency gains? It is the question of the day. Yet, the challenges don’t stop there as cutting-edge technologies tighten their grip on the PLM industry. Electrification, electronics, and the soaring significance of software are all critical factors in play. Taking the helm of one of the Nordics' most vital suppliers of PLM is no small feat. Ask Zandra Nilsson, VP and Director for Siemens Digital Industries Software Nordics and Baltics. She knows.
Having spent just over a year navigating the top executive journey in this demanding landscape, Nilsson has curated a leadership team that blends domain expertise with fresh perspectives. It’s a key factor, moving forward, she says: "Yes, we need leaders who can steer us through the AI era we are now facing. This requires individuals who understand our customers' industries, but who also challenge those of us who have been around a long time to think in new ways."
Nilsson asserts that Siemens stands out when it comes to specifically Industrial AI:
"When I took office, the acquisitions of Altair and Dotmatics were announced, accelerating Siemens' AI-driven innovation across life sciences, process, and discrete manufacturing. Altair broadened our simulation portfolio—making us a leader in nearly every discipline—but it also bolstered our AI position with entirely new capabilities. By combining this with our existing Mendix platform for agentic development, we can now deliver scalable and agentic AI in a reliable, secure, and controlled environment."
These are undeniably necessary improvements in the battle for the AI market, which has been no walk in the park. According to analysts, the failure rate in delivering expected technological value has been between 80–85%. Furthermore, MIT studies have shown high numbers of generative AI pilots failing to create measurable ROIs. Meanwhile, Gartner recently predicted that 60% of all AI projects lacking proper data structure will be abandoned.
Is this, as Gartner’s Frank Ridder suggests, a question of an "AI value crisis"? Well, Zandra Nilsson doesn't need to break a sweat. Nothing in PLM is easy from the start; historically, it can take years up to a decade before new, complex technologies are applicable models. In 2026, the battle for industrial AI is no longer just about having the best model, but also about contextualizing data and linking it directly to the product development value chain, and by extension, to physical production: "Scaling through context, not code."
By virtue of its holistic approach and its recent "Industrial AI" initiative Siemens has a competitive edge.
So, what are Nilsson’s thoughts around AI, leadership, competition, market dynamics, and where she is taking the movement? Click on the headline to read today’s in-depth inter view on PLM&ERP News.

Nationell DIGITAL TVILLING centralt inslag när Sveriges största satsning inom AVANCERAD DIGITALISERING drar igång

ELFLEXIBEL INDUSTRI: "Volvo, Siemens & Telia bland deltagarna."
Svensk industri elektrifieras i rekordfart – men elnäten hinner inte byggas ut i samma tempo. För att undvika att utvecklingen stannar av behövs lösningar som gör att industrin kan använda effekt smartare, flytta laster, dela resurser och avlasta elnäten – här och nu. Vilket är precis vad Chalmers Industriteknik dragit igång ett 320 miljonersprojekt kring, med delfinansiering om 150 miljoner från Vinnova.
När Chalmers Industriteknik i veckan annonserade att man har mobiliserat närmare 50 aktörer i ELFLEXIBEL INDUSTRI-satsningen är det samtidigt en av Sveriges största satsningar inom avancerad digitalisering. Bland deltagande företag märks Volvo Cars, Siemens Energy, ESAB, Ellevio, SWECO, Telia och Volvo Construction Equipment Projektet går ut på att möjliggöra för industrin att styra sin elanvändning, skapa innovation, frigöra kapacitet i elnäten och bidra till ett mer flexibelt energisystem – genom praktiska demonstrationer i industrimiljöer runt om i Sverige.
”Tekniken är viktig, visst, men det verkliga skiftet handlar om beteenden och systemförändrande insatser,” kommenterar Hanna Persson, projektledare vid Chalmers Industriteknik, och tillägger: ”När tillverkande industri, energiansvariga och nätägare börjar fatta beslut tillsammans, utifrån samma data i realtid, förändras hela sättet vi använder effekt på. Det är så vi bygger ett mer flexibelt och motståndskraftigt energisystem – i praktiken, inte bara i teorin.”
Allmänt ska sägas att Elflexibel Industri fått med aktörer från hela värdekedjan – industri, energibolag, elnätsägare, akademi och innovationsmiljöer – och kopplar ihop produktion, effektanvändning och elnät i ett och samma system. All utveckling och lärande sker direkt i verkliga fabriker, industrikluster och energianläggningar, där projektet möter den komplexitet som präglar industrin varje dag.
Åtta industridemonstrationer kommer att inkludera funktioner som:
• Avancerad mätning och datadelning • AI baserad prognostisering • Automatiserad flexibilitetsstyrning • Energidelning mellan företag • Lokal lagring och smart styrning • Nya affärsmodeller och nya roller mellan industri och elnät
Ett centralt inslag är etablering av en nationell digital tvilling – som gör det möjligt att simulera och validera tekniska, marknadsmässiga och regulatoriska lösningar innan de implementeras i verkliga miljöer.

AI och Accelererad GPU-kraft: NVIDIA-effekter som lyfter Dassaults CAE-plattform MODSIM

TECHNIA Simulation: ”Utvecklingen går från kraftfulla simuleringsverktyg till AI-laddade, intelligenta designmotorer.” Det är svårt att överskatta NVIDIAs monumentala inverkan på PLM-marknadens AI-transformation. Särskilt inom CAE har NVIDIAs teknologier varit avgörande för att flytta branschen från statisk datahantering till en framtid av AI-drivna, realtids- och immersiva multifysiksimuleringar.
Dassault Systèmes flaggskeppslösning, MODSIM – förankrad i SIMULIA-plattformen och 3DEXPERIENCE-ekosystemet – fungerar som en mästerlig vägvisare i hur AI för närvarande ritar om gränserna för vad simulering kan uppnå. I grund och botten är MODSIM (Unified Modeling & Simulation) mer än bara ett programvarupaket; det är en enhetlig miljö som väver in simulering i själva strukturen i designarbetsflödet. Genom att kombinera t ex CATIAs modelleringsprecision med SIMULIAs analytiska djup i 3DEXPERIENCE-molnet kan ingenjörer utföra komplexa optimeringar på exakt samma datamodell som används för initiala koncept. Denna synergi markerar ett avsteg från traditionella silos och erbjuder en samarbetsmetodik som överbryggar klyftan mellan form och funktion.
Dessutom är det en "shift-vänster-metod" som är ett grundläggande steg mot att öka användningen av simulering inom utvecklingslivscykeln.
Vi talar alltså om ett strategiskt ramverk som överbryggar klyftan mellan SIMULIAs simuleringsteknik och primära designverktyg, och som effektivt avvecklar de traditionella silos som skiljer designers från simuleringsingenjörer.
Men vad innebär framväxten av AI för MODSIM-miljön? Under DS' evenemang i april 2026 betonade Daniel Pyzak (på bilden), teknisk chef för CATIA på Dassault, att, "AI-förstärkt MODSIM förenar modellering och simulering till en enda datamodell inom 3DEXPERIENCE-plattformen. Denna konvergens bryter ytterligare ner barriärer mellan designers och analytiker." Pyzak betonade också den strategiska betydelsen av vänsterförskjutna metoder och noterade att "de möjliggör tidigare prestandaförutsägelser, minskade omkostnader och snabbare, mer strömlinjeformat samarbete över komplexa projekt med flera fysikområden."
I dagens reportage utforskar PLM&ERP News det föränderliga landskapet för MODSIM, AI och den växande betydelsen av simulering inom modern produktutveckling. Vi har träffat representanter från TECHNIA – Dassaults ledande globala VAR – som avsevärt har stärkt sina simulerings- och analysmöjligheter genom sin Simulation-avdelning. Konklusionen av deras syn på saken är tydlig: AI är ett paradigmskiftare. Enligt teamet, ”utvecklar AI MODSIM från ett robust simuleringsverktyg till en intelligent designmotor. Dessutom omvandlar samarbetet mellan DS och NVIDIA stora industriella datamängder till återanvändbar kunskap och generativa designupplevelser."

The NVIDIA Catalyst: How AI and GPU Power Are Redefining Dassault’s MODSIM CAE Platform

TECHNIA Simulation: ”Evolving robust engineering tools into intelligent design engines.”
It is difficult to overstate NVIDIA’s monumental impact on the PLM market’s AI transformation. Particularly within CAE, NVIDIA’s technologies have been pivotal in moving the industry from static data management toward a future of AI-driven, real-time, and immersive multiphysics simulations. Dassault Systèmes’ flagship solution, MODSIM—anchored by the SIMULIA platform and the 3DEXPERIENCE ecosystem—serves as a masterclass in how AI is currently redrawing the boundaries of what simulation can achieve.
At its heart, MODSIM (Unified Modeling & Simulation) is more than a software suite; it is a unified environment that weaves simulation into the very fabric of the design workflow. By fusing CATIA’s modeling precision with SIMULIA’s analytical depth on the 3DEXPERIENCE cloud, engineers can execute complex optimizations on the exact same data model used for initial concepts. This synergy marks a departure from traditional siloes, offering a collaborative methodology that bridges the gap between form and function.
Moreover, it’s a shift-left approach that represents a fundamental move to front-load simulation within the development lifecycle. By integrating critical testing, security, and quality protocols into the earliest stages of the value chain, MODSIM empowers teams to solve problems before they even arise.
So, we’re talking about a strategic framework that bridges the gap between SIMULIA’s simulation technology and primary design tools, effectively dismantling the traditional silos that separate designers from simulation engineers. This integration isn’t limited to DS’ own CATIA and SOLIDWORKS ecosystems; the platform is engineered to simulate models from most major CAD systems on the market.
But what does the emergence of AI mean for the MODSIM environment? During the company’s April 2026 events, Daniel Pyzak, Technical Director for CATIA at Dassault, emphasized that ”AI-enhanced MODSIM unifies modeling and simulation into a single data model within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This convergence further breaks down barriers between designers and analysts.” Pyzak also highlighted the strategic importance of 'shift-left' methodologies, noting that ”they enable earlier performance predictions, reduced overhead, and faster, more streamlined collaboration across complex, multi-physics projects."
In today’s feature, PLM&ERP News explores the evolving landscape of MODSIM, AI, and the growing importance of simulation in modern product development. We sat down with representatives from TECHNIA—Dassaults' leading global VAR—who have significantly bolstered their simulation and analysis capabilities through their Simulation Centre of Excellence. The consensus is clear: AI is a paradigm shifter.
According to the team, ”AI is evolving MODSIM from a robust simulation tool into an intelligent design engine. Moreover, the collaboration between DS and NVIDIA is transforming vast industrial datasets into reusable knowledge and generative design experiences. In practice, this means AI can automate the simulation of design alternatives, eliminate manual bottlenecks like meshing and data export, and navigate far more expansive design spaces than a human engineer could ever explore manually."

STAR-CCM+ and the GPU Revolution: Inside BMW’s High-Performance Simulation Pivot

SIEMENS’ Simone LANDI & NVIDIA's Ian PEGLER: ”Redefining Automotive Simulation.”
GPU-based technology has rapidly revolutionized the field of simulation. By pivoting from sequentially structured CPUs (Central Processing Units) to GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), the industry has unlocked significant advantages. The massive parallel architecture of GPUs enables thousands of tasks to be executed simultaneously, delivering transformative boosts in speed, scale, and cost-efficiency for modeling complex systems—such as fluid dynamics, molecular interactions, and autonomous vehicle sensors.
What once took weeks can now be completed in hours. For the intensely competitive automotive industry, currently navigating a dramatic shift toward electrification and software-defined vehicles, this capability is invaluable.
Few domains within the PLM world have embraced this shift as effectively as the partnership between NVIDIA and Siemens regarding simulation, with BMW acting as a prime example. Leveraging NVIDIA GPU architecture to simulate high-resolution, transient aerodynamic models has enabled BMW to boost process speeds by up to 60% while optimizing vehicle drag and performance.
During a presentation at NVIDIA’s GTC, Siemens Vehicle Aerodynamics Specialist, Simone Landi, highlighted how BMW leverages advanced, large-scale simulations to balance aesthetic design with aerodynamic efficiency. These complex models, often exceeding 100 million cells, normally require massive HPC resources and several days to process. Today new realities have surfaced, claimed Landi, underscoring the critical partnership between Siemens and NVIDIA .
"While heavy-duty simulations have long relied on thousands of CPU cores, the shift toward GPU accelerated computing has unlocked new levels of efficiency. Modern NVIDA GPU acceleration now allows us to push boundaries further, with even a single GPU node demonstrating significant speed improvements—sometimes up to 60%—over traditional CPU setups," added NVIDIA’s Ian Pegler (pictured), Global Business Development – CAE. This performance milestone was achieved by BMW Group utilizing NVIDIA GPU technology to accelerate Simcenter Star-CCM+ solvers.
Beyond aerodynamic simulation, STAR-CCM+ serves as a comprehensive multiphysics CFD solution for a broad spectrum of applications at BMW. The software is engineered to master complex scenarios, including heat transfer, combustion, and other sophisticated thermofluidic processes. STAR-CCM+ has become an industry-standard tool for automotive digital twins, leveraging GPU-accelerated, high-resolution simulations to shift from physical testing to virtual validation. This transition is essential for maintaining competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market.

Siemens Powers Up: Local AI Takes Command of the Industrial Drivetrain

Siemens AG CEO ROLAND BUSCH’s vision is clear: to transition industrial AI from an isolated function into a cohesive "Industrial AI Operating System" that drives the entire value chain.
The recent launch of Drivetrain Analyzer Onsite (DTA Onsite)—featuring Industrial IoT sensors and AI-driven analytics—is a prime example of this strategy, allowing manufacturers to move from reactive maintenance to predictive insights, optimizing machine lifespan, and reducing energy consumption.
Lately, Roland Busch has been maintaining an intense pace. Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio is setting new benchmarks for AI in PLM and shop floor automation, offering an integrated end-to-end depth that no competitor can currently match. And Busch intends to fully leverage this competitive advantage.
DTA Onsite exemplifies this, bridging the gap between isolated machines and cloud-based platforms by bringing cutting-edge AI directly to the edge, keeping sensitive data within the user’s own infrastructure. By transforming raw metrics like torque and temperature into actionable insights, it enables manufacturers to move from reactive repairs to predictive mastery. This isn’t just a tool; it’s a vital link in Siemens' broader digital chain.
The launch of Drivetrain Analyzer Onsite (DTA Onsite) highlights the integration of cutting-edge AI for identifying drivetrain patterns and anomalies. Unlike the existing cloud solution, this new on-premise, localized AI software ensures data remains within the user’s infrastructure.
Drive data is the technical term for metrics related to motor drive systems in industrial automation, covering critical parameters such as torque, speed, position, current, and temperature for machinery monitoring and control. While drive parameters refer to unit-specific settings like Sercos, analyzing this comprehensive data is crucial for optimizing industrial production.
In short, the software bridges the gap between isolated machines and cloud-based platforms, processing drive data entirely within the user's secure environment. Essentially, the software bridges the gap between isolated machinery and the cloud, processing drive data—the lifeblood of industrial automation—entirely within the user’s own infrastructure. By transforming raw metrics like torque and temperature into actionable AI-driven insights, manufacturers can finally shift from reactive repairs to predictive mastery.
Yet, DTA Onsite is only one link in a much larger digital chain. Across the entire product development lifecycle, Siemens Digital Industries remains the undisputed market leader. But what exactly keeps them at the top of the global industrial AI hierarchy?
