At Hannover Messe 2026, Siemens presents the next generation of its Industrial Automation DataCenter, a custom-configured data center for all IT requirements in production – further developing its proven turnkey solution into an AI-ready platform.
In partnership with NVIDIA and in collaboration with Palo Alto Networks, Siemens delivers secure NVIDIA computing infrastructure at the edge for powerful AI acceleration, alongside NVIDIA BlueField data processing units (DPUs) for intelligent real-time data processing and security from Palo Alto Networks Prisma AIRS.

Delivered fully pre-installed, pre-configured, and system-tested from a single source, the turnkey solution combines high-performance virtualization for OT applications, backup and restore capabilities, data archiving, and an industrial demilitarized zone, effectively separating IT networks from OT environments. Through a strategic partnership with NVIDIA and collaboration with Palo Alto Networks, accelerated AI computing power and advanced AI-specific cybersecurity from NVIDIA and Palo Alto Networks is now enabled directly at the edge.

This evolution addresses a critical industry need: implementing standardized, pre-integrated AI infrastructure poses significant challenges for many industrial companies. Building complex, high-performance, and secure AI-capable environments is very demanding, time-consuming, and costly – with integration, installation, and system engineering alone requiring up to 80 hours. Additional risks include compatibility issues and potential operational downtime. With the enhanced Siemens Industrial Automation DataCenter, customers benefit from real-time insights, optimized processes, and enhanced efficiency, yielding substantial gains in productivity and innovation.
