Digital Twin Composer: Virtual testing, real results
Digital Twin Composer also made its debut at the exhibition and will be available on the Siemens Xcelerator platform from mid-2026. The new software combines digital twins, real-time operational data and advanced simulations, enabling companies to test developments virtually before physical interventions. The tangible results of this can be seen at PepsiCo's US plants: the use of digital twins has increased throughput by 20 percent, while investment costs have fallen by 10-15 percent.

Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses: AI in the field of vision of factory workers
CES 2026 also revealed how industrial AI can be made more "fashionable." Through its collaboration with Meta, Siemens also wants to use Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses to increase the efficiency of factory workers. This allows users to receive information directly in their field of vision or in their ears. This hands-free, real-time guidance, safety information, and feedback helps workers solve problems efficiently and confidently. The smart glasses now also "understand" German, which is key for European markets, as it makes Siemens' industrial AI solutions even more widely applicable.
Not a feature, but a technological force
Siemens also unveiled nine new artificial intelligence-powered "industrial co-pilots." These solutions support the work of engineers and operators from design through manufacturing to operation, reducing errors, accelerating time to market, and increasing manufacturing efficiency for companies of all sizes.
Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG, emphasized that industrial artificial intelligence is no longer a new feature, but a technological force that will shape the industry in the coming decades. Siemens' goal is to bring measurable business and operational benefits to companies worldwide through AI.
