Overview
- Announced at CES 2026, the multi-year collaboration applies physics‑based digital twins and AI to redesign PepsiCo’s plants and supply chains.
- Siemens’ new Digital Twin Composer, built on NVIDIA Omniverse, connects photorealistic 3D models to real-time factory data including MES, QMS, PLC code and IIoT sources.
- Select U.S. manufacturing and warehouse sites have been converted into high‑fidelity models to simulate operations and validate changes before any physical build.
- Company-reported pilot results cite about 20% throughput gains, near‑complete design validation and 10–15% reductions in capital expenditure, with AI agents identifying up to 90% of potential issues pre‑deployment.
- Digital Twin Composer is in early access with select customers, and broader rollout and independent verification of performance claims have not yet been published.
