Siemens and Schneider Electric Deploy AI Agents in Industrial Settings
What happened
Siemens and Schneider Electric are deploying AI agents in industrial environments. Industry is the world’s largest energy consumer, accounting for nearly 40% of final global energy demand, making efficiency gains a major opportunity. Siemens is using a wheeled-humanoid robot and AI agents to simulate and discover process and cost efficiencies. Schneider Electric is using AI-enabled digital twins of advanced power systems to simulate power requirements from the utility grid down to individual chips.
