The Siemens-Snowflake partnership enables manufacturers to connect shop floor OT data, such as from PLCs and sensors, with IT data like supply chain and financial metrics. By combining Siemens Industrial Edge with Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud, customers gain access to plug-and-play applications that contextualize and transfer data, creating a robust foundation for AI-driven insights. This integration enhances machine performance, increases availability, and optimizes production processes across facilities.
FFT, a global leader in innovative manufacturing systems, utilizes Siemens Industrial Edge and its DataBridge app to securely transfer production data to Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud. Already implemented in FFT’s own production lines, this solution demonstrates its ability to meet high standards of efficiency and data-driven optimization. As a Siemens Xcelerator and trusted Snowflake partner, FFT supports automated and flexible production systems across mobility and industrial sectors.
“This collaboration brings together the best of both worlds,” said Rainer Brehm, CEO of Factory Automation at Siemens. “Siemens has deep expertise in how to bring OT and IT together on the shop floor, while Snowflake excels in managing and analyzing both large-scale OT and IT data.” The joint solution, designed for production managers, data engineers, and IT leaders, tackles data silos, limited transparency, and inefficient analytics, delivering measurable improvements in operational efficiency and product quality.
“Together with Siemens, we’re enabling manufacturers to harness the full potential of their data through Snowflake’s easy, connected and trusted platform,” said Christian Kleinerman, EVP of Product at Snowflake. Snowflake’s AI-powered analytics and agentic AI capabilities transform OT and IT data into actionable insights, enabling predictive maintenance, quality improvements, and process automation. This partnership empowers manufacturers to scale their digital transformation across machines, lines, and factories.
Siemens and Snowflake’s collaboration sets a new standard for manufacturing, combining cutting-edge automation and AI to drive sustainability and efficiency in the digital era.
