Siemens и IFS создадут замкнутый цифровой двойник для оптимизации производства

Siemens and IFS have entered into a partnership involving the creation of a closed-loop Digital Twin to help manufacturers connect design, production and asset performance in a continuous loop, from engineering intelligence to operational outcome, optimising their production assets across the entire product lifecycle with industrial AI The collaboration combines Siemens' leadership in industrial AI, engineering, automation and manufacturing execution and IFS's strengths in industrial AI, enterprise asset management and field service domains. With manufacturers under pressure to make the most of their existing assets, the two companies aim to help them address the disconnect between how factory operations are designed and how they run in reality, where unplanned downtime, disconnected maintenance schedules, siloed production data and supply chain disruption continue to erode throughput, agility, and margin. Industrial AI at the core With Industrial AI at the heart of the collaboration, Siemens and IFS are looking to enhance industrial performance by bringing the physical and digital worlds together to help manufacturers translate design intent into operational reality and connect that operational reality back into better design to accelerate innovation. Siemens’ comprehensive Digital Twin brings the engineering, simulation and manufacturing context while IFS brings the service history, asset behavior and operational lifecycle data that show how those products and assets perform in the real world. Together, they plan to create a closed loop Digital Twin grounded in both design intent and field performance that is secure, governed and auditable across design, simulation, service records, factory execution and can be trusted to deploy at industrial scale. Industrial environments demand accuracy, reliability, regulatory compliance and adaptability to drive optimisation and agility, as even small error rates are unacceptable when decisions affect safety, compliance and costly physical assets. The partners’ shared approach to industrial AI is built for this reality. "Industrial AI only delivers value when it is grounded in both engineering intent and real-world performance," said Tony Hemmelgarn, president and chief executive officer, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "Together with IFS, we are bringing these domains together by connecting design, manufacturing and asset lifecycle data in a secure, contextualised data fabric. By converging our combined strengths in industrial AI, together we will empower our customers with our vision of an executable Digital Twin that will enable them to accelerate innovation with confidence.” "Manufacturers need their factory floor to behave the way it was designed. This partnership with Siemens brings together two companies that each own a critical piece of the puzzle. Agentic AI is the critical frontier, and industrial leaders need solutions with closed loop models and data, and a rich set of context that will not hallucinate in active operations,” said Mark Moffat, chief executive officer, IFS. “By combining our collective strengths in Industrial AI, we can help manufacturers close the loop between design and reality, and unlock real, measurable performance gains."
