Furthermore, it will promote wider adoption of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and facilitate the implementation of software-defined vehicle (SDV) frameworks for the automotive industry.

“By strengthening our partnership, we combine the unique capabilities of two market leaders: Siemens’ technology, access to data and deep domain knowledge in software, automation and industrial AI with Accenture’s power to apply data and AI in engineering and manufacturing,” said President and CEO of Siemens, Roland Busch.

Accenture’s Industry X digital engineering solutions will be instrumental in driving AI-enhanced engineering advancements.

This involves developing specialized AI agents for simulation and robotics. Generative AI agents integrated into Siemens NX software will streamline industrial workflows by automatically assessing the feasibility and cost implications of design changes.

Manufacturing services under the initiative will help companies deploy and refine manufacturing execution systems, improving real-time tracking and control of operations.

By applying IT methodologies, the group will enhance AI-powered shopfloor automation and cybersecurity protections for critical systems, leveraging Accenture’s Managed Extended Detection and Response (MxDR) platform.

Price Action: ACN shares traded higher by 0.72% at $306.52 at last check Monday.
