AI Becomes a Reality in the Process Industry
- 15.09.2026

Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a key driver of innovation, efficiency, and competitiveness in the industry. Against this backdrop, AI workshops were held in Wunstorf (August 19, 2026) and Speyer (September 15, 2026).
The events underscore the close and constructive partnership between SpiraTec AG and Siemens AG. Both companies share the common goal of driving digital transformation in the process industry and making innovative technologies practical and usable. As a partner for digital transformation, industrial automation, industrial IT, and modern engineering solutions, SpiraTec brings extensive expertise in the areas of Industry 4.0, automation, and digitalization.
Following a brief welcome and introduction, participants gained insight into Siemens’ AI vision and the strategic importance of artificial intelligence for industrial value creation. After the coffee break, the focus shifted to specific use cases and innovative solutions. Among other things, the presentation featured modern AI-supported tools such as the Eigen Engineering Agent (a generative AI assistant directly connected to TIA Portal), solutions for visual inspection, and other practical applications of artificial intelligence in engineering and production environments. The session demonstrated how intelligent technologies can optimize processes, increase efficiency, and unlock new potential in planning, operations, and maintenance.
The workshop concluded with an open Q&A session. Here, all participants had the opportunity to exchange experiences, discuss individual questions, and jointly explore future areas of application for AI in industry.
We would also like to thank our contacts at Siemens – Carsten Blume (Partner Account Manager), Lars Wattenberg (Head of Sales @Siemens Digital Industry, Solution Partner Management), and Alexander von Paumgartten (Head of Digital Discrete Industries for the Germany Region) – for this exciting exchange, and we look forward to working together to set new trends for the digital future.
