Siemens Industrial Edge makes drive systems more intelligent
Concept study demonstrates the integration of Sinamics frequency converters to the Siemens Industrial Edge platform
High-frequency data exchange and complex analysis of the drive train possible
Paving the way for new business models
At the Hannover Messe 2020, Siemens presents a
concept study that demonstrates the integration of a Sinamics drive system to
the Siemens Industrial Edge platform. In future, it will be possible to perform
high-frequency data exchange in drive technology using an Edge device. The integration
of Sinamics frequency converters to an Edge device enables users of machines
and applications to perform complex analyses of data that is already collected
in the drive. Machine learning algorithms identify patterns and detect anomalies
and their causes, providing early indications of necessary maintenance. This minimizes
downtimes and reduces the consumption of resources. For example, in intralogistics applications
the belt tension can be monitored for a storage and retrieval machine. The
belts, which are driven by a motor and frequency converter, require a specific
tension so that the application runs smoothly. If the visualization of the data
analyses shows irregularities in the drive system, then belt maintenance can be
triggered promptly, for example.

By connecting Sinamics frequency converters to the Industrial
Edge platform, Siemens is making drive technology more intelligent and paving
the way for new business models. With intelligent drive technology, machine
builders can provide application-specific app solutions and digital services,
for example, or contractually guarantee the availability of a machine.
Siemens Industrial Edge
With Siemens Industrial Edge, Siemens offers a digitalization solution
that expands automation to include data processing at machine level, by safely
moving the intelligence of edge computing and advanced analytics into the manufacturing
area. Siemens Industrial Edge offers users the opportunity
to execute a range of descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytics
applications. Cloud connectivity - in conjunction with Edge apps created by Siemens,
third-party suppliers or users themselves - is used in an integrated hardware and
software ecosystem for automation components.
At the Hannover Messe 2020, Siemens presents a concept study that demonstrates
the integration of a Sinamics drive system to the Siemens Industrial Edge
platform.
