Siemens returns to CES to display what the company’s Xcelerator and digital twin technology offers to drive sustainability and human security for all. Experience Nemo’s Garden, an ocean-floor biosphere off the Italian coast where air-filled pods house vertical gardens of fruit, vegetables and herbs. You’ll also get a close look at the Space Perspective balloon flight where astronauts-for- a-day journey to the edge of space for 360-degree views of Earth. This CES Tech Talk episode, Undersea Farming & Space-Balloon Travel at CES 2023, delves into the fantastic advances Siemens technology enables for the benefit of mankind. These stories, and more, are told by Brenda Discher, Siemens SVP of business strategy and marketing.
Takeaways
- With Siemens technology, the Nemo’s Garden biosphere, harnesses positive environmental forces from the ocean -- water generation from condensation, CO2 absorption, pest minimization – it also models how regions lacking airable land can grow crops sustainably
- Siemens digital twin technology with automation, robotics, AI and IoT pushes the limits of design and construction, optimizing 3D and simulations that speed manufacturing
- As will be shown at CES 2023, Siemens simulation and digital twin technology capture and enable the experience of going into space via the Space Perspective balloon -- simulations as close as is possible recreate in vivid detail every aspect of a voyage to the stratosphere
- Working with Unlimited Tomorrow, Siemens is bringing customized prosthetic limbs to children, including Ukrainian children, where resources are scarce - and in a way that’s practical, scalable and sustainable
They Said It
“
They can't test taking people up and down in space. They've got to be able to trust that it can actually simulate the space environment, optimize everything that may or may not be happening, and then be able to manufacture this balloon, and reuse it over and over again.

…[A] digital twin…is a digital representation or a digital model of eventually what you visualize to be your final product or your plant or your process...we think that’s something pretty unique for us.
