Highlights from IMTS 2026

Experience how Industrial AI and the digital thread are helping manufacturers move faster from design to production and beyond.

Shape the future of your shopfloor. Now.

Manufacturers don't need more data. They need better connections between engineering, manufacturing, and operations. At IMTS 2026, Siemens showcased how a connected digital thread links software, automation, operational intelligence, and Industrial AI to create a seamless manufacturing workflow.

Watch the IMTS 2026 highlights video and see how visitors experienced one connected manufacturing story across two Siemens booths. From design and planning to simulation, machining, and continuous improvement, the demonstration brought the power of an end-to-end digital thread to life.

Four ways to shape the future of CNC manufacturing

Design

Accelerate product and process development with intelligent engineering, model-based workflows and AI-assisted design decisions.

Validate

Use digital twins to simulate, validate and optimize products, processes and machines before production begins.

Produce

Connect planning, execution and machine operations with advanced CNC technologies, robotics and manufacturing automation all powered by AI technologies.

Improve

Turn operational data into actionable insights with Industrial AI, connected services and continuous performance optimization.

See the future in action. Follow a connected story.

Meet at the Machine initiative
