Siemens: AI could automate 70–80% of manufacturing processes, up from 30–40% today
A Siemens board member says AI could automate 70–80% of manufacturing, compared with 30–40% today. Siemens and Nvidia agreed on 22 October to build an industrial AI operating system using digital twins.
Who is affected and how
- plant manager
- Compare your own automation level with today's 30–40% average, and identify which processes you would test first in a digital twin.
- skilled worker
- The share of manual, repetitive tasks may fall, so building supervisory and setup skills pays off.
