Background

Siemens was founded in Berlin in 1847 and is today organized around a small number of large businesses: Digital Industries, Smart Infrastructure, Mobility and the separately listed Siemens Healthineers. Digital Industries accounted for 27.6% of Siemens sales in fiscal 2023, about the same as Healthineers.

The business covers automation for discrete and process industries, including factory automation, numerical control, drives and inverters, together with industrial software for product lifecycle management and simulation. Siemens describes itself as number one in industrial software and automation, and frames the business around three themes: the comprehensive digital twin, software-defined everything and industrial AI.

The Software Business

The software side of Digital Industries is Siemens Digital Industries Software, headquartered in Plano, Texas. It was built largely through acquisitions.

Key milestones

1963: United Computing, the origin of the business, is founded in Torrance, California.
2007: Siemens acquires UGS for USD 3.5 billion and forms Siemens PLM Software.
2016: Siemens announces the USD 4.5 billion acquisition of Mentor Graphics, which becomes Siemens EDA.
2018: Acquisition of Mendix, a low-code development platform.
2019: The business is renamed Siemens Digital Industries Software.
2025: Acquisition of Altair Engineering for USD 10 billion.

Software products

Product	Purpose
NX	Design, manufacturing and engineering software suite
Teamcenter	Product lifecycle management and collaboration
Tecnomatix	Manufacturing and factory planning
Simcenter	Simulation and testing
Solid Edge	Mid-market design software
COMOS	Engineering software for process industries
Mendix	Low-code application development
Siemens EDA	Electronic design automation tools such as Calibre and Questa

For robotics and factory automation these tools matter because they are used to design machines and production lines, simulate them as digital twins and connect them to the controllers on the shop floor.

Financial Performance

Siemens' fiscal year ends on September 30.

Digital Industries	Quarter to June 30, 2026	A year earlier

Strengths and Challenges

Strengths

A leading position in both automation hardware and industrial software.
A profit margin of 18.7% and fast-growing recurring software revenue.
A software portfolio that spans design, simulation, manufacturing planning and electronics.
The scale and balance sheet of Siemens.

Challenges

Exposure to industrial investment cycles in automation.
The cost and complexity of integrating large software acquisitions.
No robot arms of its own, so its role in robotics is as a supplier of control and software.

Outlook

Siemens has raised its group guidance after a quarter of record orders and profit. In Digital Industries the momentum is in software, where annual recurring revenue has reached EUR 5.7 billion.
