Siemens digital twin software targets faster factory upgrades

Siemens unveiled its Digital Twin Composer software at CES 2026, aiming to accelerate and de-risk factory upgrades by enabling real-time decision-making through high-fidelity digital twins. The platform integrates Siemens’ digital twin technology with NVIDIA Omniverse simulation libraries and real-world engineering data to create physics-accurate 3D models of products, processes, and plants. This allows companies to simulate and visualize the impact of engineering changes and environmental conditions before implementing physical modifications. PepsiCo is an early adopter, using the software to digitally transform select U.S. manufacturing and warehouse facilities. Within weeks, PepsiCo achieved a 20% increase in throughput, nearly 100% design validation, and a 10-15% reduction in capital expenditure by identifying potential issues virtually and optimizing configurations before physical upgrades. Siemens positions Digital Twin Composer as a foundational element of the emerging industrial metaverse, where simulation, real-time data, and AI converge to support faster, more informed industrial decisions.
