- Sinamics DriveSim Advanced expands the Industrial Operations X offering, part of the Siemens Xcelerator digital business platform
- Sinamics DriveSim Advanced simulation software for virtual engineering and commissioning of drive constellations
- Complete digital twin of Sinamics drives with all parameters and configurations
- Extending digitalization of drive technology continuously enables machine builders to reduce resource consumption and optimize energy efficiency
At this year's Hannover
Messe, Siemens is presenting Sinamics DriveSim Advanced, an extended simulation
software for drive constellations that can be used for both engineering and
commissioning on the basis of a digital twin. Sinamics DriveSim
Advanced thus expands the simulation portfolio for motion control drives at
Siemens, which was introduced to the market in 2021 with Sinamics DriveSim
Basic. At the same time, Sinamics DriveSim Advanced adds to the Industrial Operations X offering. With Industrial Operations X, Siemens offers a continuously growing interoperable portfolio of products and services for production engineering, execution, and optimization. This offering brings more information technology (IT) and software capabilities to automation and production operations, making industrial operations more adaptable. The Industrial Operations X portfolio is characterized by supporting an open ecosystem, being flexible with modular and scalable functions, and enabling interoperable, seamless, holistic production value chains.
- Siemens’ new Teamcenter app for Microsoft Teams to use AI, boosting productivity and innovation throughout a product lifecycle
- Azure OpenAI Service powered assistant can augment the creation, optimization and debugging of code in software for factory automation
- Industrial AI to enable visual quality inspection on the shop floor
Siemens and Microsoft are harnessing the
collaborative power of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to help
industrial companies drive innovation and efficiency across the design,
engineering, manufacturing and operational lifecycle of products. To enhance
cross-functional collaboration, the companies are integrating Siemens’ Teamcenter®
software for product lifecycle management (PLM) with Microsoft’s collaboration
platform Teams and the language models in Azure OpenAI Service as well as other
Azure AI capabilities.
- Traditional agriculture is coming under increasing pressure from climate change: Today indoor farming offers a resource-conserving alternative
- Siemens supplies automation and digitalization technologies to make indoor farming safer and more productive
- By working with Siemens, indoor farming company 80 Acres Farms can run farms on 100 percent renewable energy, yield 300 times more than conventional farmland, and use 95 percent less water
Growing lettuce in the
desert using environmentally friendly methods? Yes, it’s possible. Looking
ahead, it’s important to start developing new concepts for agriculture. By
2050, 10 billion people are expected to live on our planet, and they’ll all
want to be fed. But new agricultural land is becoming scarce, and more and more
farmers are struggling with water shortages. Indoor farming is therefore an
intelligent solution for reliably and energy-efficiently creating perfect
growing conditions for plants. This will help meet the growing challenges of
food supply and food security.
- Siemens is working with NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) and NTT DATA Corporation (NTT DATA) to scale the software Sigreen to manage carbon emissions.
- The companies will develop a combined portfolio that will be available via the Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform.
- As a part of Siemens Xcelerator, Sigreen offers easy integration with NTT Com and NTT DATA’s portfolio through open data interfaces.
The Siemens
Xcelerator ecosystem now encompasses the Japan-based companies NTT Com and NTT
DATA. NTT Com is a leading global
provider of information and communication technology (ICT) solutions within the
NTT Group. NTT DATA is a trusted global innovator of IT and business services. To enable climate-neutral production using materials
from a sustainable supply chain, Siemens will work with these two companies to develop
a range of products and services for decarbonizing industry together with those
two companies. A one-stop portfolio will be created as a part of the Siemens Xcelerator business
platform, where the Sigreen carbon emission management tool from Siemens will
be combined with NTT Com and NTT DATA’s integration services. The portfolio
will be deployed in a number of pilot projects along with OMRON Corporation, a manufacturer of electronic systems, and DENSO
International Europe B.V., an automotive supplier. This follows a successful exploration phase at R&D organization
Switzerland Innovation Park Biel/Bienne.
- More space for locomotive production and service business
- Floor area to be increased by around 30,000 m2
- New capacities to meet growing demand
Siemens
Mobility is expanding its manufacturing and services facility in Munich-Allach
in order to meet the growing demand for locomotives and services. The factory
will be enlarged to 80,000 m2 from its current 50,000 m2
to provide additional capacities for processing new orders, optimizing
production and logistics flows within the facility, and add more office space.
- Pilot project with Bayer at the Dormagen site
- Reliable product identification with ID link and quick access to digital product information
- Automatic provisioning through an Information Exchange Platform
- Siemens presents Digital Data Chain at Hannover Messe
Making product data for plant components
available digitally and at all times – that is the basic idea of the so-called
Digital Data Chain (DDC). Siemens is a pioneer in mapping the entire digital
data chain as the company has now supplied Bayer's Crop Science Division with
several SITRANS P320 pressure transmitters with standardized ID links for
unique object identification. In this way, the associated instance-specific,
digital documentation according to VDI standard 2770 could be transferred
directly to the ERP system used by Bayer. "With the digital data chain,
plant operators save a lot of time and money," says Axel Lorenz, CEO
Process Automation at Siemens. "Currently, plant maintenance personnel
spend most of their working time searching for relevant information. In the
future, components at the field level can be identified quickly and reliably
via mobile devices. At the same time, all information about the component is
immediately available digitally – for example for operation or
maintenance."
- Siemens Xcelerator portfolio enables Daimler Truck to advance development of innovative technologies for its trucks and buses

and lifecycle management of trucks and buses and will be rolled out globally
across Daimler Trucks’ engineering hubs, brands and business segments.
- Sinamics G220 are the first Sinamics drives to join the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio
- Integrated Clean Power technology reduces harmonics by up to 97 percent
- Digital twin in Startdrive (TIA) enables testing and optimization of behavior before hardware is available
- IIoT module for easy integration into edge and cloud applications
With Sinamics G220,
Siemens is launching a new high-performance frequency converter to join the
Sinamics family in the run-up to Hannover Messe 2023. The innovative frequency
converters are equipped with so-called clean power technology. This reduces
harmonics by up to 97 percent without the need for line harmonic chokes or DC
link chokes.
