Siemens presents the Digital Twin Composer at CES in Las Vegas. It connects physical AI with the power of the most comprehensive digital twin. This enables complete production facilities to be quickly built and maintained virtually.

With the Digital Twin Composer, Siemens introduces a new software solution that creates industrial metaverse environments on a large scale. The software enables companies to leverage industrial AI, simulations, and real-time physical data to make virtual, fast, and large-scale decisions.

With Digital Twin Composer, industrial companies combine 2D and 3D digital twin data from Siemens' comprehensive digital twin with physical real-time information in a managed, secure, photorealistic real-time scenario. These scenarios are created using Nvidia Omniverse libraries. According to Siemens, companies can quickly build and maintain this global environment, which contains all aspects of their product or production data (both virtual and physical), in a secure, high-resolution 3D environment that covers the entire lifecycle of the product, process, or plant.

Plan And Visualize Processes And Factories Faster

Digital Twin Composer provides context-based real-time insights and information for every product, process, and factory, allowing them to be visualized in their real context. The company can then interact with these products, processes, or factories and further develop the design before they are physically created or built. This applies whether it is a new smartphone, a tanker in a shipyard, an autonomous electric vehicle, or a new AI-powered factory in a new or existing environment.

PepsiCo is already using the tool and, together with Siemens, is digitizing selected production and warehouses in the USA by transforming them into highly precise digital 3D twins. These simulate plant operations and the entire supply chain to establish a performance baseline. Within a few weeks, the teams optimized and validated new configurations to increase capacity and throughput. This provided PepsiCo with a unified real-time overview of operations with the flexibility to integrate AI-driven features over time.

Pepsico Increases Throughput By 20 Percent With Digital Twin Composer

With Siemens Digital Twin Composer, Nvidia Omniverse, and computer vision, PepsiCo can now replicate every machine, conveyor belt, pallet conveyor, and operator path with physical accuracy, allowing AI agents to simulate, test, and refine system changes. Up to 90 percent of potential issues can thus be identified before physical changes are made.

This approach has already led to a 20 percent increase in throughput during the initial deployment. Additionally, PepsiCo achieved shorter development cycles, nearly 100 percent validation of design data, and a reduction in capital expenditures (Capex) by 10 to 15 percent by uncovering hidden capacities and validating investments in a virtual environment.

No More Boundaries Between Design, Engineering, And Production

Many design, engineering, and production teams still work independently and use different tools and isolated data systems. Digital Twin Composer aims to break down these barriers by uniting design, simulation, and operation in a realistic, context-based model. This enables designers to test products, processes, and plants within minutes, validate automation long before hardware is completed, and operate the real product or plant through a single digital twin.

"The new Digital Twin Composer realizes our vision for the industrial metaverse. It helps manufacturers tackle challenges associated with managing complexity, accelerating production, reducing costs, and increasing profitability," said Joe Bohman, Executive Vice President, PLM Products, Siemens Digital Industries Software.

"In an era where every physical object and process will have a digital twin, Siemens' Digital Twin Composer creates a digital thread that connects the silos of design, development, and operation across the entire Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem," said Rev Lebaredian, Vice President of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at Nvidia. "By integrating Nvidia Omniverse libraries into the Digital Twin Composer, companies can leverage the benefits of physically accurate visualization in their workflows. This allows them to validate the entire lifecycle—from product development to factory logistics—in the virtual world before bringing even a single atom into the real world."

Digital Twin Composer As Part of Siemens Xcelerator

Digital Twin Composer is part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. The software is used to connect the powerful, photorealistic, and physically accurate 3D digital twin created with Siemens Xcelerator to real-world physical data sources. These data sources range from data from manufacturing execution software (MES) or quality management systems (QMS) to the PLC code (Programmable Logic Controller) of a machine or factory installation, as well as IIoT data (Industrial Internet of Things) from an open ecosystem of design data.
