Leveraging proprietary machine learning and generative AI, the platform processes over 5 million data points daily from 370+ ocean carriers and airlines, 6,000+ vessels, 1,200 ports, direct integrations with 45+ terminals. Siemens Digital logistics partnered with Portcast in 2023 to enable more resilient and transparent supply chains for shippers and freight forwarders. Portcast is also available in the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace.

Realtime Robotics

Realtime Robotics provides a powerful suite of software tools for programming robotic arms and the systems they are used in. They automate the programming and execution of robot motions, cutting out difficult and costly aspects of operating robots. Visualize, prioritize and simulate path plans to validate robot programs with a seamless Process Simulate plug-in.

Retrocausal

Retrocausal is an industry leader in AI-powered intelligence augmentation systems that helps manufacturing workers avoid assembly mistakes, be more efficient at their daily jobs, and improve the processes they drive. Its Assembly Copilot™ and Kaizen Copilot™ products use machine learning, computer vision and AI to continuously guide, track and analyze assembly processes. Retrocausal joined the Siemens Frontier program in 2021, and developed integration with Siemens Process Simulate Human as part of a funded research project. The next step was to interface Siemens' Opcenter Execution platform, in order to streamline the production and manage quality more effectively.

SkillReal

SkillReal is realizing its mission to deliver accurate & reliable next-generation Digital Twin technologies across industries, helping global manufacturers to significantly shorten time of serial production, and improve productivity and quality. Through its partnership with Siemens, SkillReal was able to secure funding from the Bird Foundation – a US-Israel fund investing in joint technology research projects. Since 2023, SkillReal is also a portfolio partner of Siemens.

Cybord

Cybord, listed above as a portfolio partner, was also able to secure research funding thanks to is partnership with Siemens. In 2019 Siemens in Israel joined the Multi-National Corporates program of the Israeli Innovation Authority, in November 2020, Cybord was the first startup awarded a grant within this framework.

Inspekto

Inspekto enables out-of-the-box visual quality inspection and requires no expertise in vision solutions or AI. Inspekto is easy to deploy and use, scalable, and provides the necessary connectivity to existing automation systems. Inspekto joined the Siemens Dynamo program in February 2020, and was acquired by Siemens Digital Industries in February 2024. During this period, it was deployed in different Siemens factories and has been building integration with Siemens Industrial Edge. See also this Inspekto presentation at SPS 2024.

ioTech

ioTech from Jerusalem has developed a multi-material additive manufacturing technology that can process almost any industry certified material at high resolution and high speed. In 2019 we introduced ioTech to our innovation partner ASM Assembly Systems GmbH & Co. KG. This led to a successful technology collaboration as well as capital investment. Guenter Schindler, COO of ASM SMT Solutions talks here about ASM SMT's collaboration with Siemens Dynamo.

Percepto

Percepto is revolutionizing the way vital infrastructure and assets are inspected and monitored by providing a holistic fully automated solution. Siemen Energy is using Percepto to monitor power plants since 2022.

Razor Labs

Razor Labs (TASE: RZR) a leading developer of AI solutions for industrial manufacturing processes, in March 2022 it has announced that it was selected by Siemens Energy to implement a pilot at its O&M site in Israel, for the station’s cooling system. DataMind AI predicts the future power supply of the station, verifies the optimality of the cooling system performance and the optimum output of the station.

Siemens Dynamo is open to a wide range of companies:

• Innovative startups to established businesses in the Industry 4.0 and Digital Transformation domains
• Companies with technologies or solutions aligned with Siemens' interests, particularly in industrial automation, digitalization, and smart factories
• Our partners are typically companies that have secured funding and identified their first repeatable and scalable use case in a specific industry or geographic region, which they now want to scale with us
• Companies from different geographic regions - there are no specific location restrictions

• There are two ways to be a part of the system:
  1. We scout startups for a Siemens stakeholder, and according to their requirements...
  2. We discover a potential startup, or it applies.
• The startup is evaluated according to our requirements, our portfolio and our needs.
• Afterwards, we validate with startup and Business Units to find a perfect match.
• We set up a technology pilot and start execution.
• Eventually, a Business Unit of Siemens takes over the responsibility, which means that:
  1. They use the product.
  2. They partner with the startup to include the product in their ecosystem.
  3. They partner with the startup to include the product in their portfolio.
  4. They invest in the startup.

After startups successfully finish the pilot project, the ambassadors integrate the Startups in different ways into their workflows (see above). The ambassadors come from different Siemens units and have varied areas of expertise related to innovation and technology.
