Siemens has launched a new line of Industrial PCs (IPCs) equipped with NVIDIA's GPUs and an extended AI offering. This is part of the Industrial Operations X portfolio, which aims to offer a scalable computing portfolio dedicated to high-performance industrial applications.
With the full-stack NVIDIA accelerated computing platform, Siemens IPCs claim to handle complex AI tasks in advanced industrial automation, claiming to help drive down costs and accelerate time-to-market for customers.
Industrial automation solutions
"Customers driving their digital transformation need high-performance industrial-grade systems. Our new offerings accelerate the next-level AI-based applications," says Rainer Brehm, CEO of Factory Automation at Siemens. "With Industrial Operations X, we've made the latest advances in industrial AI widely available to companies of all sizes."
Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA, said: "Supercharged by NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI technologies, Siemens' leading portfolio of industrial automation solutions will enable the world's manufacturers to reach new heights of digitalization and deliver incredible efficiencies and agility."
Supercharging AI applications
Siemens and NVIDIA aim to democratise access to AI capabilities for automation engineers through no-code tools to integrate, manage, and execute industrial AI solutions.
The Industrial Operations X portfolio also claims to provide a wide range of AI applications, such as the Simatic Robot Pick AI accelerated by NVIDIA and the Siemens Industrial Copilot for Operations powered by NVIDIA NIM microservices.
Siemens IPCs
Siemens IPCs are NVIDIA-certified systems that claim to withstand harsh industrial conditions while maintaining reliability and longevity.
New embedded devices claim to provide high-performance AI computing in a low-power and fan-less design, seamless and high-performance AI integration, management, and execution in industrial environments, and the ability to deploy and run AI models in industrial environments without coding expertise.
