As a technology company focused on the industrial, infrastructure, transportation, and healthcare sectors, Siemens has not only announced a partnership with Sony, but also other collaborations to design the latest innovations in immersive engineering.
According to a statement from Siemens, the two well-known companies collaborated on the development of their systems – the Siemens XCELERATOR industry software portfolio and Sony's new mixed reality headset – a novel spatial content creation system that forms Siemens' NX Immersive Designer.
This new system showcases a myriad of features, including an XR headset with a high-quality 4K OLED microdisplay and controller for intuitive interaction with 3D objects.
"The new solution, which enables designers and engineers to create and explore design concepts in a borderless immersive workspace, will kickstart content creation in the industrial metaverse," the company said. ”
Siemens' NX Immersive Designer is scheduled to launch later in 2024.
In addition, Siemens has partnered with Amazon Web Services to create generative AI that is more accessible to application developers.
The Siemens Xcelerator Open Business Platform is designed to integrate the physical and virtual realms to enable digital transformation across industries.
Dr. Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens, will showcase technologies that enable leading brands to improve the way we live, work, move and manufacture.
Yoshinori Matsumoto, Executive Vice President and Head of Technology and Incubation at Sony Corporation, said: "At Sony, we are passionate about providing cutting-edge technology to creators, and in the space content creation space, we have made great strides in innovating the way they work with our proprietary motion and display technologies.
By combining our technology with Siemens' engineering expertise, we are excited to enable more immersive engineering that redefines the daily workflow of designers and engineers." High-quality, photorealistic renderings and intuitive interactions will give creators the tools to pursue a more immersive creative process, driving further innovation in the industrial metaverse.
The unveiling took place earlier today (January 8) at CES 2024, one of the world's largest tech events.
The company's goal is to revolutionize the industry and everyday life by stimulating the industrial metaverse, accelerating innovation, improving sustainability, and adopting new technologies.
Dr. Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens, emphasized the sustainability of innovation in his CES keynote speech, saying: "This is a place where the physical and digital worlds come together. A place for industrial innovation.
Simulate anything you want in the digital world before building in the real world. Fewer resources are used to make the product, and it can be utilized.
According to an official statement from Siemens, they launched the INHAB smart home energy management portfolio at CES.
INHAB is a suite of habitat solutions that enable users to fully understand and control energy and its distribution in the home.
It includes features such as real-time alerts, 24/7 continuous monitoring, and customizable energy target settings to provide occupants with the transparency they need to make informed decisions.
The company noted that as the trend of home appliances, EV charging and solar arrays grows, these precise monitoring and management solutions will play a key role in reducing energy consumption and utility bills, while improving safety and capacity.
This information highlights Siemens' efforts to merge the physical and digital worlds, promoting innovation and accessibility through partnerships and technological advancements.
