Industrial AI is transforming how factories operate, innovate and scale.
The convergence of AI, simulation and digital twins is poised to unlock new levels of productivity, flexibility and insight for manufacturers worldwide - and NVIDIA's collaboration with Siemens is bringing these technologies directly to factory and shop floors, making advanced automation more accessible.
Matthias Loskyll, head of virtual control and industrial AI at Siemens Factory Automation, joined the NVIDIA AI Podcast to discuss how Siemens' work with NVIDIA is reshaping manufacturing, as the industry hits a turning point.
Manufacturing companies are facing a shortage of skilled labor, widening skills gaps as experts retire and increased demand for resilient, efficient production.
At the same time, AI advancements offer ways to automate tasks previously deemed too complex or variable for traditional programming - and digital twins open a path to designing and optimizing safe, efficient interactions between AI-powered robots and smart spaces.
Siemens' Inspekto, an AI-driven visual quality inspection system, enables even small manufacturers to automate defect detection in their production lines. Inspekto can be trained in under an hour using as few as 20 product samples, making it ideal for fields like electronics and metal forming.
Meanwhile, automaker Audi is using industrial AI in its car body shops, where 5 million welds are made daily. Training AI models to automate weld-spot inspection and integrating them with Siemens' Industrial AI Suite helped Audi achieve up to 25x faster inference directly on the shop floor, where the defects can be addressed.
Siemens is creating an AI-driven vision software enabling robots to handle arbitrary, previously unseen objects. The company is also developing Industrial Copilots with NVIDIA NIM microservices to bring generative AI-powered assistance directly to shopfloor operators and service technicians. Loskyll noted that the Industrial Copilots will run on premises to keep sensitive production data secure while enabling rapid troubleshooting and process optimization.
