Siemens and TRUMPF partner to accelerate digital manufacturing and AI readiness

• Partnership unites Siemens’ digital expertise and Xcelerator portfolio with TRUMPF’s manufacturing and software excellence
• Collaboration addresses critical system integration challenges in modern manufacturing with open and interoperable interfaces
• Support for virtual development and standardized interfaces enable faster time-to-market and significant operational efficiency improvements for customers

Technology company Siemens and leading machine tools and laser manufacturer TRUMPF today announced a partnership that promises to elevate industrial production by harnessing advanced digital manufacturing solutions. The collaboration joins Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio with TRUMPF’s renowned machine-building and software expertise.

The partnership addresses a critical challenge in modern manufacturing: the disconnect between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems that has historically hindered production efficiency and innovation. By leveraging Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio and TRUMPF’s manufacturing excellence, the collaboration aims to deliver comprehensive solutions that bridge this gap. Both companies are working on open and interoperable IT interfaces that will help to advance artificial intelligence (AI) readiness for motion control applications.

“Real transformation in a factory begins when machines on the shop floor are connected through a shared digital backbone – so that data flows seamlessly, decisions happen faster, and production responds to changing conditions,” said Cedrik Neike, Member of the Managing Board at Siemens AG and CEO of Siemens Digital Industries. “By working with TRUMPF, we’re making that connection effortless. We’re bridging the gap between IT and OT so that manufacturers can move faster, adapt in real time, and prepare for the AI era. I’m proud to see two European champions leading the way.”
