Siemens, Google Cloud cooperate on AI-based Solutions in Manufacturing

Google Cloud has teamed with industrial automation and software technology provider Siemens to cooperate on optimising factory processes and to improve productivity on the shop floor.
Siemens says it intends to integrate Google Cloud’s leading data cloud and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) technologies with its factory automation solutions to help manufacturers “innovate for the future”.
According to Siemens, data drives today’s industrial processes, but many manufacturers continue to use legacy software and multiple systems to analyse plant information, which is resource-intensive and requires frequent manual updates to ensure accuracy - and in addition, while AI projects have been deployed by many companies in “islands” across the plant floor, manufacturers have “struggled to implement AI at scale across their global operations”.
