Featured Global Partnerships

Siemens and IBM

Revolutionize system engineering and service operation

Harness the power of your data to continuously optimize and simulate your systems and streamline service planning and operations along the product & production lifecycle.

Power the future of MBSE

Siemens and IBM jointly power the future of MBSE with next-gen systems engineering solutions, standardized modeling (SysML) v2, automation, traceability and a holistic approach enable continuous, seamless integration of systems design across systems, processes and the entire product lifecycle.

100+

Complexity factor

Through different aircraft generations, from the A310 to the A350 XWB, complexity has increased with a factor of 100 to 1000.

Open ecosystem

The Siemens and IBM partnership enables an open ecosystem across both companies’ portfolios. With the expanded portfolio of Siemens Xcelerator, customers can connect and collaborate across our solutions (IBM Rhapsody Engineering, IBM Rhapsody Systems Engineering, Siemens Teamcenter, Polarion, Capital and more) and across the entire value chain seamlessly and effectively.

Comprehensive digital twin

We provide a leading system modeler and a best-in-class PLM system, enabling standard, flexible and scalable integration of the MBSE domain solutions. This allows users to have a holistic view and full traceability throughout the product and production lifecycle. It can help users identify problems early, mitigate risk and manage cost.

Leading technology innovation

The adoption of new technology-based standard SysML v2 enables an highly interoperable environment. With an intuitive and seamless user interface, we maximize the end user’s productivity and efficiency. The adoption of GenAI into our solutions help automate the creation of system models and simplify and accelerate engineering operation.

In collaboration with IBM, we are developing innovative solutions that enable companies to “shift left” and prioritize product improvements earlier in the development cycle—resulting in transformative outcomes. Our focus is on enhancing the extensibility and reuse of systems models and associated data. We are committed to delivering standards-based solutions within an open ecosystem of tools, emphasizing seamless integration across mechanical, electronics, electrical, and software engineering domains.

Unlock smart manufacturing and intelligent asset management for the pharmaceutical industry

The pharmaceutical industry must minimize yield losses, boost operational efficiency, advance sustainability, and proactively control quality. Siemens and IBM are joining hands to provide an end-to-end sustainable operations & asset lifecycle management solution that can significantly enhance the management of production processes through sustainable practices with:

  • Open integration architecture: Integrating IBM Maximo Application Suite and Siemens OpCenter provides an open, flexible architecture that enables seamless data exchange and process alignment across the enterprise. This allows for a more holistic view of operations and facilitates closed-loop optimization.
  • Intuitive user experience: The integrated platform offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface with enhanced visualization and decision-support capabilities based on digital twin models.
  • Mobility and IoT support: The solution seamlessly integrates with mobile devices and the Internet of Things (IoT). This allows for remote monitoring, maintenance, and support of the manufacturing assets and processes, improving operational efficiency and responsiveness.

Deliver value through service lifecycle and asset management excellence

In this video, IBM Senior Technology Manager Ashok Kumar and Siemens Teamcenter Product Manager Brian Johnsen talk about the value of bringing together solutions from the leader in enterprise asset management (EAM) with IBM Maximo - and the leader in PLM with service lifecycle management (SLM).
