Designing better products with AI and sustainability

Siemens has leveraged AI-powered generative design tools to significantly optimize the design of robot grippers, reducing their weight by 90% and the number of parts by 84%, which can lead to annual carbon dioxide savings of up to three tons per robot. This innovation addresses the environmental impact of manufacturing, with potential global implications given the over four million industrial robots in operation worldwide, by enabling more sustainable production practices through smarter, AI-driven design processes. The use of generative AI allows Siemens to autonomously explore and refine design solutions, facilitating rapid testing and optimization for functionality and manufacturability,
