The cooperation marks a key step toward the Siemens Industrial Foundation Model, an industry-specific AI system that Siemens first unveiled at Hannover Messe 2025.
“Together with customers and partners, we are taking a significant step today toward scaling industrial AI,” says Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens AG.
“I see a great opportunity here for Europe's economy with its strong industrial base. By making our companies' data treasure trove available for generative AI, we can achieve completely new levels of productivity – and the data alliance in mechanical engineering is leading the way.”
AI for more efficient manufacturing and faster development cycles
The alliance aims to significantly increase efficiency and innovation speed in the manufacturing industry through AI technologies. A key area of application is the automated creation of part programs for machine tools. In the future, these programs could be generated much faster and with fewer errors – developers would be relieved of routine tasks and could focus more on complex tasks.
“Access to high-quality machine data from different manufacturers is the key,” explains Busch.
“With this alliance, we can develop AI systems that understand the complexity of development and manufacturing, making them a powerful partner for skilled workers.”
