Siemens combines the real and digital worlds to empower companies to act flexibly and sustainably
In light of the fact that the supply chain
accounts for the largest share of the ecological footprint of products, the
decarbonization of industry is a challenge which must be tackled by all the
stakeholders together. As a leading provider of automation technology and
industry software, Siemens has launched an all-new solution for the efficient
query, calculation, and transfer of information on the actual Product Carbon
Footprint (PCF). SiGreen now makes it possible to exchange emission data along
the supply chain and combine it with data from a company’s own value creation
in order to obtain a product’s true carbon footprint. To achieve this, Siemens
has initiated the open, cross-industry Estainium network with the aim of
enabling manufacturers, suppliers, customers and partners to exchange
trustworthy PCF data. With SiGreen supporting companies in tracking their
Product Carbon Footprint, they can take targeted reduction measures providing a
quantifiable effect. CO
2 management supports companies on their way
towards carbon neutral production and helps them to transform sustainability
into a decisive competitive edge.
In the Siemens Industrial
Edge sector, the company has established an independent, cross-manufacturer
marketplace for industry customers. The marketplace serves as a transaction
mechanism for Siemens Industrial Edge: an innovative IT platform which enables
the scalable deployment of IT technologies on the shopfloor in a production
environment. In addition to the Siemens Edge apps for the discrete and machine
tool industries, third-party providers such as Braincube, Cybus, SeioTec and
Tosibox have already started to list their products and services on the
marketplace. Customers
thus benefit from a broad range of software components, offered by numerous
providers and manufacturers, which they can integrate into their manufacturing
processes in a standardized manner. Today, the multifaceted offering already
ranges from connectivity, data storage, visualization and analysis right up to
machine monitoring, as well as energy and asset management. As an open software
platform, Industrial Edge thus provides the ideal basis for creating an Edge
Computing ecosystem.
The Industrial Edge
portfolio is also growing on the hardware side. The Simatic IPC427E industrial
PC with a pre-installed Google Coral AI accelerator card based on the
latest-generation processor technology comes as a Microbox PC: the ideal
platform for Industrial Edge and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications.
In the field of drive technology, Siemens
demonstrates that the integration of drives into a consistent digitalization
approach is of critial importance. With its DriveSimBasic, the company has
launched a software solution for the simulation, adaptation and optimization of
drive constellations and their behavior in both machines and plants. This
innovative solution designed by Siemens makes it quick and easy for machine and
plant manufacturers to get started with drive technology simulation and thus
accelerate their development phase. Thanks to Analyze MyDrives Edge, drives can
now also be connected to the Industrial Edge platform in order to analyze their
data almost in real time.
Industrial communication and networks,
identification and localization form the basis for the digitization of
industry. With its Scalance MUM853-1, Siemens is presenting an industrial 5G
router for the control cabinet for the first time at the virtual event. The
device connects local industrial applications to public 5G, 4G (LTE), and 3G
(UMTS) mobile wireless networks. The router can be used to remotely monitor and
service plants, machines, control elements, and other industrial devices via a
public 5G network – with the utmost flexibility and high data rates. In
addition, the device can be integrated into private 5G networks. The Scalance
MUM856-1 thus supports future-oriented applications such as mobile robots in manufacturing,
autonomous vehicles in logistics, and augmented reality applications for
service technicians.

Siemens Digital Enterprise
Services combine experts, conventional services and future-oriented
technologies. The result is a unique overall package which supports companies
from all industries on their both successful and secure digital transformation
journey. At its virtual event, Siemens presents a dedicated service solution for
the predictive maintenance of spare parts inventories: Predictive Services for
Spare Parts. Digital and efficient spare part management, as well as
comprehensive analyses of historical spare part logistics data and detailed
obsolescence management, support users in enhancing the availability of plants
and reducing storage costs – while at the same time optimizing their spare
parts inventory and ensuring that it is up to date at all times.
