Opening Day of China International Industry Fair: Record-breaking Hype! What Big Moves Did Siemens Make On-site?

Siemens made its debut at the 25th China International Industry Fair (CIIF) today under the theme of "Digital-Physical Integration, Smart Growth for the Future". As a pioneer and innovation driver in industrial AI applications, Siemens is actively advancing the deep integration of AI technology with industrial scenarios by virtue of its proven digital-physical integration capabilities, profound industry experience, and high-quality data from industrial sites. On-site, Siemens jointly released the 2025 Industrial Agent Trend Outlook Report with Top Brain Think Tank, delivering the latest insights into the current status of industrial agent implementation in manufacturing; demonstrated the first pilot application of Industrial Copilot in China – the Zhongke Motong EMB intelligent assembly equipment, highlighting the quantifiable value of industrial AI in practical applications; and launched more than 10 new software and hardware products, further consolidating the systematic capabilities for industrial AI implementation. The true implementation of industrial AI starts with the accurate capture of demand scenarios and succeeds with the deep integration of technology, data and industrial mechanisms. This is exactly where Siemens' strengths lie – awakening dormant data with in-depth industry know-how, and working hand in hand with ecological innovation partners to help thousands of Chinese industrial enterprises reap the real value and benefits of industrial AI. True Insights: Industrial Agent Implementation Faces Three Major Challenges 2025 is known as the "First Year of Industrial Agents". To gain insights into the current status and challenges of AI agent applications in the industrial field, Siemens and Top Brain Think Tank jointly released the 2025 Industrial Agent Trend Outlook Report based on an in-depth survey of 200 industrial enterprises. Data shows that although more than 80% of enterprises recognize the value of industrial agents in improving production efficiency and reducing operational costs, their actual deployment still faces significant challenges: 43% of enterprises have not yet deployed industrial agents, and only 8% have realized multi-scenario applications. The restrictive factors are concentrated in three aspects: high deployment costs, shortage of professional talents and insufficient technological maturity. In addition, enterprises generally regard stability and reliability as core considerations when deciding whether to apply industrial agents. In response to the multiple challenges of industrial agent implementation, Siemens provides systematic solutions through all-round technological and ecological layout: In terms of ensuring safety and reliability, Siemens has precipitated a century of industrial knowledge into safety specifications and process models, embedded them into the decision-making logic of industrial agents, and conducted testing and verification in the digital world through digital twins to ensure the operational safety and reliability of industrial agents in the physical world; Siemens Industrial Copilot greatly reduces the difficulty of use through natural language interaction, enabling engineers to complete complex tasks such as equipment configuration and PLC programming without professional programming skills, effectively lowering the application threshold and the demand for professional talents; In addition, through Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform, Siemens has connected 530,000 users and gathered more than 300 ecological partners in China, over 60% of which are AI-related, building an open and win-win innovation ecosystem. True Value: First Pilot of Industrial Copilot in China Achieves 30% Efficiency Improvement At the CIIF site, the new-generation new energy vehicle EMB intelligent assembly equipment built by Siemens in cooperation with Zhongke Motong was officially unveiled. This equipment is the first pilot application of Siemens' generative industrial AI assistant, Industrial Copilot, in the Chinese market. During the commissioning of the equipment, Industrial Copilot assisted engineers in the development of automation programs, greatly reducing repetitive work, effectively improving program development efficiency and reducing production losses caused by misoperation of equipment. Combined with Siemens' standardized solutions and robot library, Industrial Copilot has helped Zhongke Motong reduce program development time by 30%, shorten on-site production line commissioning cycle by 30%, and cut labor and material losses by 10%, fully demonstrating the real value of industrial AI in complex manufacturing environments. As a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise with AI as its innovation engine, Zhongke Motong is committed to using AI technology to build a flexible automation large model and create a digital smart factory for applications such as automated assembly, performance testing, and intelligent warehousing and logistics. Siemens and Zhongke Motong will further deepen their strategic cooperation to provide a solid digital foundation for Zhongke Motong's future overall intelligent equipment solutions. True Foundation: Full-Stack Solutions Consolidate the Base for Industrial AI Implementation At the CIIF site, Siemens presented a panoramic view of its full-stack software and hardware products and solutions, which can help enterprises break down the barriers between IT and OT and enable free data flow across all links of enterprise product development, production, operation and decision-making. Massive high-quality industrial data provides the "corpus" for the accurate training of industrial AI. The latest members of the Siemens product family also made their debut at the CIIF, and more than 10 new products have further consolidated the software and hardware foundation, including: New basic distributed I/O system SIMATIC ET 200BL: Developed in the TIA Portal environment, it can be quickly deployed without complex configuration, significantly reducing engineering implementation difficulty and investment costs. It inherits the consistent high reliability of Siemens automation products, ensuring stable operation and high-speed data transmission in harsh industrial environments, helping customers control costs without sacrificing equipment performance. New SMART LINE PLUS HMI series: On the basis of full compatibility with all functions of SMART LINE V5, it adds a number of functions to greatly improve connection flexibility and engineering efficiency. This series expands the compatibility of third-party equipment, and can significantly reduce configuration time by directly importing PLC variables from TIA Portal engineering files; the local data recording function does not require external storage media, providing a reliable basis for fault diagnosis and production optimization. FMT020 new-generation electromagnetic flow transmitter: Custom-designed for the Chinese market, it can not only measure volume flow and medium flow rate, but also monitor conductivity at the same time. The product supports multiple communication protocols such as HART, MODBUS, Profibus DP/PA and PROFINET, and the IP67/68 protection grade ensures stable operation under harsh working conditions. Equipped with a 380,000-pixel Chinese graphic display, it provides enhanced diagnostic functions such as empty pipe monitoring and equipment self-test. SIMOTICS E DC servo ultra-low voltage mechatronics solution: Including 1EE1 brushless inner rotor motor, 1EV1 brushless outer rotor motor and ArgoDrive drive steering system. This product portfolio is specially designed for high dynamic response scenarios and is widely used in AGV/AMR steering wheel steering, intelligent warehousing sorting systems and rail transit door control systems. The highly integrated mechatronics design significantly improves equipment flexibility, production efficiency and operational reliability. BFC 3.0: This industrial IoT connection software is committed to breaking down OT and IT data barriers and has multi-brand equipment compatibility. The new version strengthens communication technology, interface richness and system security, supports full-link secure data transmission and flexible analysis functions, and provides strong support for enterprises to deeply tap the value of data assets and optimize production processes. 5S COM intelligent terminal power distribution new products: Integrating intelligent detection, wireless communication and remote control functions.
