Siemens wants to use this to meet the growing demand for high-tech electronic products and increase flexibility in production in the future. Siemens is investing around 200 million euros (approx. USD 230 million) in the new building. Further investments in the modernization and decarbonization of the site are also planned.

"This investment is a clear commitment to the location. And an additional growth impulse for Siemens in Germany that goes beyond the investment commitments made as part of the "Made for Germany" initiative," says Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens AG. "By using industrial artificial intelligence, digital twins and state-of-the-art automation, we are strengthening competitiveness and creating sustainable jobs. A contribution to a strong industrialized country like Germany."

In the new factory, Siemens wants to build a self-learning, autonomous and highly flexible production system that is controlled by artificial intelligence. In this way, the company not only wants to make operations more efficient and sustainable, but also more flexible - for example, in order to be able to react more quickly to new requirements and developments in the market.

It is important to the company to take the approximately 2,400 employees of Siemens Smart Infrastructure with it in the digital transformation and to secure jobs at the site in the future. To this end, Siemens is providing its employees with comprehensive training and preparing them for the changing tasks in a digitalized factory.

Siemens is already using its digital twin technology during the planning of the new building, which allows the entire plant - including production, machines and logistics - to be simulated in advance and in various scenarios. The new "Digital Twin Composer", which brings together the various digital twins, will also be used for this.

Artificial intelligence will play a particularly important role in future production: The AI will be constantly fed with real-time data in order to coordinate order planning, implementation, material transport and system control in the best possible way - and to continuously optimize them. The new factory will also have fully automated logistics, with driverless transport systems and humanoid robotics. A clean room for electronics production is also an integral component.

Amberg, with its two Siemens plants and around 4,500 employees, is an important production and development site for Siemens. Switching, protection and monitoring devices for industrial applications are currently produced and developed there - as well as industrial controllers at the Digital Industries division's plant for customers all over the world.

With this investment, Siemens is reinforcing its commitment to Germany as a business location and the "Made for Germany" initiative. To date, 124 companies have joined the initiative and pledged joint investments of over 800 billion euros (approx. USD 923 billion) in Germany.
