Partnership unites Siemens' digital expertise and Xcelerator portfolio with TRUMPF's manufacturing and software excellence.
Siemens and TRUMPF announced a partnership to integrate Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio with TRUMPF’s machine-building and software expertise for industrial production.
The partnership addresses a critical challenge in modern manufacturing: the disconnect between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems that has historically hindered production efficiency and innovation. Using Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio and TRUMPF’s manufacturing expertise, the collaboration will focus on developing open and interoperable IT interfaces to support AI readiness for motion control applications.
Overcoming complexity with seamless system integration
Software is increasingly central to manufacturing, moving beyond its traditional role as an addition to hardware. Integrated hardware and software can improve flexibility, efficiency, and overall performance. For Siemens and TRUMPF, this shift brings both opportunities and challenges. Their collaboration aims to support faster innovation, improve hardware–software integration, and provide a scalable approach to delivering solutions through standardized interfaces.
The collaboration will also deliver tangible customer benefits through modular system architecture and unified system solutions. Standardized interfaces will allow for seamless connectivity between shop floor equipment and enterprise-level systems. Customers will benefit from increased operational efficiency, reduced engineering costs, and future-proof scalability by using open, modular automation solutions. These are critical to ensure future-proof AI readiness, that will permit customers to achieve faster time-to-market, improved production flexibility, and competitive manufacturing operations.
The partnership builds on regular exchanges between Siemens and TRUMPF development teams and reflects the role of collaboration in addressing industry challenges.
