Siemens and Trumpf accelerate digital manufacturing and AI preparation

summary

September 15, 2025 – Technology company Siemens and leading machine tools and laser manufacturer Trumpf today announced a partnership that promises to boost industrial production by leveraging sophisticated digital manufacturing solutions. This collaboration joins Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio and features Trumpf’s renowned machine building and software expertise.


This partnership addresses key challenges in modern manufacturing. The disconnect between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems has historically hindered production efficiency and innovation. By leveraging Siemens’ Xcelerator Portfolio and Trumpf’s Manufacturing Excellence, the collaboration aims to provide a comprehensive solution to fill this gap. The companies are working on an open, interoperable IT interface that will help them prepare artificial intelligence (AI) for motion control applications.

“The real transformation in the factory begins when machines on-site are connected via a shared digital backbone. So data flows seamlessly, decisions are made faster, and production responds to changing conditions.” “Working with Trump, we are making that connection easier. We are closing the gap between it and OT so that manufacturers can move faster, adapt in real time and prepare for the AI ​​era. We are proud to have two European champions leading the way.”

Overcoming complexity with seamless system integration

In today’s rapidly evolving industrial environment, software is no longer an add-on to hardware, but is becoming an important differentiator in the manufacturing industry. From intelligent control systems to data-driven optimization, the seamless integration of hardware and software enables a whole new level of flexibility, efficiency and value creation. For Siemens and Trumpf, this shift has created important opportunities, but it also created new complexities. Collaboration is therefore essential, allowing for faster innovation cycles, better integration of hardware and software, and a more scalable approach to delivering solutions and value through standardized interfaces.


The collaboration also brings tangible customer benefits through modular system architecture and unified system solutions. Standardized interfaces allow for seamless connections between field equipment and enterprise-level systems. Customers benefit from improved operational efficiency, reduced engineering costs and future scalability by using open, modular automation solutions. These are important to ensure future AI preparation. This allows customers to achieve faster time to market, more production flexibility and competitive manufacturing operations.


“TrumpF is a leading smart factory solutions company in the sheet metal industry. Our collaboration with Siemens supports our position as a solution provider. Thanks to open standards, our customers benefit even more from digital networking in production, from machinery to robots, grippers, grippers and some recognition of AI.


The partnership is based on a regular exchange between Siemens and Trumpfe’s development team. This underscores the importance of a vibrant ecosystem to solve the most pressing challenges in the industry.
