Siemens and Google Cloud to collaborate on industrial AI

Siemens and Google Cloud are working on the development of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) solutions for industrial processes.

The partnership will seek to integrate Siemens’ Digital Industries Factory Automation portfolio with Google Cloud’s capabilities, allowing manufacturers to run cloud-based AI/ML models on top of factory data and deploy algorithms at the network edge on the factory floor. According to the two companies, the joint offering has the potential to improve manufacturing processes such as visual inspection and predictive maintenance.
