Siemens and Google Cloud to cooperate on AI-based manufacturing solutions Google Cloud and Siemens are to co-operate in order to optimise factory processes and improve productivity on the shop floor. According to Siemens, it intends to integrate Google Cloudâs data cloud and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) technologies with its factory automation solutions to help manufacturers innovate for the future. Data is critical for todayâs industrial processes, but many manufacturers continue to use legacy software and multiple systems to analyze plant information, which is resource-intensive and requires frequent manual updates to ensure accuracy. In addition, while AI projects have been deployed by many companies in âislandsâ across the plant floor, manufacturers have struggled to implement AI at scale across their global operations.
