Siemens brings digital twin software to CES 2026 to cut factory upgrade risks
AI Article Summary
Siemens unveiled its Digital Twin Composer at CES 2026, a tool that helps simulate and test factory upgrades in real time using 3D models. Partnering with NVIDIA Omniverse, the software allows industrial companies to visualize changes and assess impacts before physical modifications. Early use by PepsiCo demonstrated significant efficiency improvements and cost-saving potential. Beyond manufacturing, Siemens is applying this technology across sectors like life sciences and energy to accelerate innovation.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
For Canadian builders, this means that using digital twin technology can significantly mitigate risks associated with factory or process upgrades by accurately simulating changes ahead of time. This could streamline the permitting process, reduce unexpected costs, and optimize timelines for industrial projects by enabling more informed decision-making. It also highlights the potential for digital technologies to improve overall project efficiency and establish a new standard in industrial project management.
