Siemens used Automate 2026 to lay out a broad digital-manufacturing vision — weaving industrial AI, simulation and real-time data across the whole value chain.
The ambition spans design and engineering, production and operations, with digital twins as the connective tissue that lets teams test changes virtually before touching the line.
It's less a single product than a direction of travel: the factory as a continuously simulated, data-driven system rather than a set of disconnected machines.
