Cumulocity and Siemens Energy Sign Deal on Industrial AI for Middle East Oil and Gas

The memorandum was signed on the sidelines of ADIPEC 2026 in Abu Dhabi by Cumulocity's general manager for the Middle East, Turkey and Africa and a Siemens Energy vice president responsible for industry transformation in its electrification, automation and digitalisation business for the region.

The partnership is aimed first at the Gulf's largest industrial buyers. In its first phase, the companies said, they will explore work with national oil companies, oil and gas operators, petrochemical and manufacturing companies, and service providers to industrial sites, plants and distributed assets.

Under the agreement, Cumulocity's platform would be combined with Siemens Energy's engineering and operational technology, including its digital applications. The companies said they would also look at connecting Cumulocity's software to Siemens Energy's industrial systems, equipment and sensors, and to systems from other vendors, so that operational data can be read in its industrial context and used for decisions.

The main areas named are asset performance and reliability, monitoring of distributed assets, energy and emissions management, digital twins and industrial cybersecurity.

Cumulocity's regional general manager said industrial AI should go beyond connecting equipment and showing it on dashboards, toward operations that can run with greater autonomy, and that the aim was practical results now while laying the groundwork for more autonomous plants. A Siemens Energy vice president for global digital services said combining Cumulocity's IoT capabilities with Siemens Energy's energy expertise and installed base of assets worldwide would help customers run equipment more reliably and efficiently.

The companies did not disclose financial terms, a timeline for products or any named customers.
