Hannover Messe 2026 - Siemens xDT: Virtual Sensing on Industrial Edge Powered by AWS
Siemens demos virtual sensing via executable digital twins on Industrial Edge with an on-premise AWS-powered small language model.
“we set up a small language model which allows our operational personnel to interact with the measurement results with our digital twin data”
Siemens showcased an executable-digital-twin virtual sensing demo at Hannover Messe 2026, running simulation, automation, and an on-premise small language model on Siemens Industrial Edge with a local GPU, built with AWS Bedrock for model selection and SageMaker HyperPod for fine-tuning. It signals the convergence of edge AI, digital twins, and on-prem LLMs in manufacturing, but is a vendor demo with limited broad AI-industry impact.
