Siemens and TRUMPF Forge Alliance for Digital Manufacturing
Technology giant Siemens teams up with TRUMPF, a leader in machine tools and lasers. Together, they aim to drive a digital manufacturing revolution by combining Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio with TRUMPF’s expertise in machines and software.
Bridging IT and OT for Smarter Factories
Modern factories face a critical challenge: IT and OT remain disconnected. This gap slows innovation and reduces efficiency. Siemens and TRUMPF now tackle this issue by developing open, interoperable IT interfaces. Their joint solutions will prepare factories for AI-driven motion control applications.
A Shared Digital Backbone for Real Transformation
“Real transformation begins when machines connect through one digital backbone,” says Cedrik Neike of Siemens. He explains that shared data flows enable faster decisions and real-time adaptability. He adds, “By working with TRUMPF, we make this connection effortless.”
Tackling Complexity with Integrated Solutions
Today, software drives manufacturing innovation. Hardware alone is no longer enough. Integration of both creates new levels of flexibility and value. Siemens and TRUMPF will simplify complexity through joint development, modular system design, and standardized interfaces.
Benefits for Customers and the Industry
Customers will gain efficiency, lower engineering costs, and scalable automation solutions. Open interfaces will unify shop floor equipment with enterprise systems. As a result, manufacturers achieve faster time-to-market, more flexible production, and AI-ready operations.
Advancing Smart Factories with Open Standards
“TRUMPF leads in smart factory solutions for sheet metal,” says Stephan Mayer of TRUMPF. He highlights that open standards strengthen connectivity across machines, robots, and AI-driven recognition. Together, Siemens and TRUMPF take industrial manufacturing to a higher level.
Building on Strong Development Collaboration
This partnership builds on close collaboration between Siemens and TRUMPF teams. Their ongoing exchanges reflect the value of ecosystems in solving industry challenges and accelerating innovation.
