Siemens brings the industrial metaverse to life with Digital Twin Composer

Siemens’ Digital Twin Composer builds Industrial Metaverse environments at scale, empowering organizations to apply industrial AI, simulation and real-time physical data to make decisions virtually, at speed and at scale

At CES 2026, Siemens unveiled a new era of technology for industry and infrastructure. Just as electricity once revolutionised the world, Siemens is now positioning Industrial AI as the force that will reshape the next century.

Digital Twin Composer enables industrial companies to combine 2D and 3D digital twin data from Siemens’ comprehensive digital twin with physical real-time information in a managed, secure real-time photorealistic visual scene, built using NVIDIA Omniverse libraries. With Digital Twin Composer, companies can rapidly build and maintain this global environment, containing all aspects of their product or production data (both virtual and physical) in a secure, managed high-fidelity 3D experience, throughout the lifecycle of the product, process or facility.

Digital Twin Composer provides contextualised, real-time insights and intelligence enabling companies to visualize, interact with and iterate on any product, process or factory in its real-world context before physical design or construction – whether it’s a new smartphone, a tanker in a shipyard, an autonomous electric vehicle, or a new AI factory on a greenfield or brownfield site.

PepsiCo and Siemens are digitally transforming select manufacturing and warehouse facilities by converting them into high-fidelity 3D digital twins that simulate plant operations and the end-to-end supply chain to establish a performance baseline. Within weeks, teams optimized and validated new configurations to boost capacity and throughput, giving PepsiCo a unified, real-time view of operations with flexibility to integrate AI-driven capabilities over time.

Leveraging Siemens’ Digital Twin Composer, NVIDIA Omniverse and computer vision, PepsiCo can now recreate every machine, conveyor, pallet route and operator path with physics-level accuracy, enabling AI agents to simulate, test and refine system changes - identifying up to 90 percent of potential issues before any physical modifications occur. This approach has already delivered a 20 percent increase in throughput on initial deployment and is driving faster design cycles, nearly 100 percent design validation and 10 to 15 percent reductions in capital expenditure (Capex) by uncovering hidden capacity and validating investments in a virtual environment.

Many design, engineering, and production teams work independently with different tools and disconnected data. Digital Twin Composer unifies design, simulation, and operations into a single model, allowing engineers to quickly test products, validate automation before hardware exists, and operate real products or facilities from a digital twin.

“Digital Twin Composer fulfills our vision for the industrial metaverse, helping manufacturers tackle complexity, speed up production, cut costs, and boost profitability,” said Joe Bohman, executive VP, PLM Products, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Siemens and NVIDIA are collaborating to bring complex products and factories online faster, enhancing resiliency and sustainability, and optimizing performance.”

“In an era where every object and process will have a digital twin, Siemens' Digital Twin Composer links design, engineering, and operations within the Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem"

Digital Twin Composer is part of Siemens Xcelerator, an industry proven portfolio of software used by companies worldwide to develop digital twins that empower them to design, simulate and prepare their products, process and factories at speed and scale. Digital Twin Composer is used to connect the high performance, photorealistic and physically accurate 3D digital twin created using Siemens Xcelerator to real-world physical data sources as such manufacturing execution software (MES), quality management systems (QMS), programmable logic controller (PLC) code from a machine or factory asset or industrial internet of things (IIoT) data – from across an open ecosystem of engineering data.
