Making AI Ready for Industry with an Industrial Foundation Model

June 10, 2025

Siemens is making AI ready for industry with an Industrial Foundation Model.

AI is transforming everyday life — but its understanding remains largely limited to text, images, and audio. It still falls short when it comes to the modalities that matter most in industry: complex 2D diagrams, 3D models, and time-series data.

Siemens’ vision is to change that — with an Industrial Foundation Model designed to understand the language of industry. This teaser video offers a first glimpse into their journey to build a domain-specific foundation model tailored for industrial applications.

This is just the beginning. Join Siemens as they build the future of industrial-grade AI.

Making AI Ready for Industry with an Industrial Foundation Model

At Automate 2025 in Detroit, Siemens is announcing an expansion of its industrial AI offerings with advanced AI agents designed to work seamlessly across its established Industrial Copilot ecosystem. This new technology represents a fundamental shift from AI assistants that respond to queries towards truly autonomous agents that proactively execute entire processes without human intervention. Siemens’ new AI agent architecture features a sophisticated orchestrator. Like a craftsman, it deploys a toolbox of specialized agents to solve complex tasks across the entire industrial value chain. These agents work intelligently and autonomously – understanding intent, improving performance through continuous learning, and accessing external tools and other agents as needed. Users retain complete control, selecting which tasks they wish to delegate to AI agents.
