Siemens Launches Digital Twin Composer to Scale Industrial Metaverse Environments

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

(IN BRIEF) Siemens has launched Digital Twin Composer, a new software solution that enables industrial metaverse environments at scale by combining digital twins, physical AI, real-time data, and photorealistic simulation. Built on NVIDIA Omniverse, the solution allows companies to design, simulate, and optimize products and production systems virtually before physical deployment. Early adopters such as PepsiCo are already realizing significant gains, including faster design cycles, higher throughput, reduced capital expenditure, and early identification of potential issues. Digital Twin Composer forms part of Siemens Xcelerator and supports unified, data-driven decision-making across the entire industrial lifecycle.

(PRESS RELEASE) MUNICH, 7-Jan-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Siemens has introduced Digital Twin Composer, a new software solution designed to scale industrial metaverse environments and deliver actionable industrial intelligence by unifying physical AI, advanced simulation, and the most comprehensive digital twin available today.

Digital Twin Composer enables industrial organizations to bring together 2D and 3D digital twin data with real-time physical inputs in a secure, managed, and photorealistic 3D environment. Built using NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, the solution allows companies to create and maintain a persistent global digital environment that reflects products, processes, and facilities across their full lifecycle — from early design through operations.

By providing contextualized, real-time insights, Digital Twin Composer allows teams to visualize, simulate, and iterate on products and production systems in their real-world context before any physical changes are made. This capability applies across a wide range of use cases, from consumer electronics and shipbuilding to autonomous vehicles and next-generation AI factories, whether deployed on greenfield or brownfield sites.

As an early adopter, PepsiCo is digitally transforming select manufacturing and warehouse facilities in the United States using Digital Twin Composer. By converting these sites into high-fidelity 3D digital twins, PepsiCo has been able to simulate plant operations and end-to-end supply chain performance, establish operational baselines, and validate new configurations within weeks rather than months.

Leveraging Digital Twin Composer alongside NVIDIA Omniverse and computer vision, PepsiCo can now recreate machines, conveyors, pallet routes, and operator workflows with physics-level accuracy. This approach enables AI agents to simulate and refine changes virtually, identifying up to 90 percent of potential issues before physical implementation. Initial deployments have delivered a 20 percent increase in throughput, near-complete design validation, faster design cycles, and capital expenditure reductions of between 10 and 15 percent by uncovering hidden capacity and validating investments virtually.

Digital Twin Composer also addresses long-standing organizational silos across design, engineering, and operations. By unifying simulation, automation, and operational data into a single living digital model, the solution allows teams to test and validate products, processes, and facilities in minutes, confirm automation logic before hardware exists, and operate physical assets directly from a shared digital twin.

Joe Bohman, Executive Vice President of PLM Products at Siemens Digital Industries Software, said the launch represents a major step toward realizing the industrial metaverse, helping manufacturers manage complexity, accelerate production, reduce costs, and improve profitability. He added that Siemens and NVIDIA are working together to help companies bring complex products and factories online faster while improving resilience and sustainability.

Rev Lebaredian, Vice President of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA, noted that Digital Twin Composer establishes a continuous digital thread connecting design, engineering, and operations. By integrating NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, enterprises can validate entire lifecycles — from product design to factory logistics — in a physically accurate virtual environment before committing resources in the real world.

Digital Twin Composer is part of Siemens Xcelerator, Siemens’ open digital business platform. The solution connects high-fidelity 3D digital twins with real-world data sources such as manufacturing execution systems, quality management systems, PLC code, and industrial IoT data. Additional intelligence can be unlocked through integration with Siemens’ data science and AI software, including RapidMiner, enabling real-time insights and confident decision-making.

Launched at CES 2026, Digital Twin Composer is currently available in early access to selected customers.
