Cumulocity, an industrial artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) platform provider, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Siemens Energy to develop integrated digital solutions for customers across the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

Under the partnership, the companies will combine Cumulocity's AIoT platform with Siemens Energy's engineering expertise, operational technology (OT) integration capabilities and digital applications to connect industrial data with operational context, supporting better-informed decisions and improved performance.

The collaboration will focus on strengthening asset connectivity, establishing secure data foundations and converting operational information into actionable insights.

 It will also explore interoperability between Cumulocity's platform and Siemens Energy's industrial systems, equipment, sensors and digital applications, including third-party environments.

Key areas of cooperation include asset performance and reliability, distributed asset monitoring, energy and emissions management, digital twins and industrial cybersecurity.

The agreement was signed at ADIPEC 2026 by Nasri Nassereddine, General Manager for the Middle East, Türkiye and Africa at Cumulocity, and Denis Voloder, Vice President of Electrification, Automation and Digitalisation for the Middle East and Africa at Siemens Energy.

Nassereddine said industrial AI is moving beyond connected assets and dashboards towards increasingly autonomous operations. He said combining Cumulocity's scalable AIoT platform and AI-ready operational data with Siemens Energy's industrial expertise would help customers turn data into intelligence and reliable action, delivering measurable benefits while preparing for future autonomous operations.

Dr Zied Ouertani, Vice President of Global Digital Services at Siemens Energy, said combining Cumulocity's Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities with Siemens Energy's energy-sector expertise and global installed base would help transform industrial data into measurable value. He added that the partnership aims to accelerate digitalisation at scale, enabling smarter, more reliable and efficient asset operations.

Initial opportunities will target national oil companies, oil and gas operators, petrochemical and process industries, industrial utilities, terminals and distributed industrial assets. -TradeArabia News Service
