Siemens, a global leader in industrial automation technology, and rhobot.ai, a pioneer in probabilistic artificial intelligence for industrial systems, have announced the commercial availability of their advanced AI solution for manufacturing. Following a deployment at CarbonAMS’s anaerobic digester facility in Ireland, this specialized, edge-native AI is now accessible through the Siemens Xcelerator digital marketplace.
This collaboration brings to market a unique form of artificial intelligence—distinct from language models and copilots—designed specifically to perform the “math of manufacturing operations.” It integrates directly with factory automation hardware and software on the industrial edge, enabling real-time optimization, tuning, and control of processes.
Agbotic Inc., the predecessor to rhobot.ai, began initial validation work in 2024, where the AI-driven optimization approach was first piloted in robotic greenhouses. The CarbonAMS deployment yielded:
39 percent decrease in digester parasitic load
2.5 percent increase in gas output
These efficiencies represent a potential annual value of over $1 billion across Europe’s 20,000 digesters, underscoring the solution’s significant impact on sustainability and profitability. CarbonAMS anticipates continuous improvements and plans to deploy the application across its portfolio and beyond.
Edge-Native AI: The Language of Machines
The rhobot.ai solution is engineered to run directly on the factory edge, seamlessly integrating with existing industrial controllers. It intelligently auto-queries, analyzes, tunes machine settings, and refines control logic in combination with other process inputs—all while meeting the high reliability and control demands of serious industrial operators.
The rhobot.ai specialized AI solution is now available globally through the Siemens Xcelerator digital marketplace.
