- New hardware and software available for Siemens' Industrial Edge ecosystem
- Industrial Edge Management System now cloud-based As-a-Service
- Low code for Industrial Edge: Simplifying edge app programming with Mendix on Edge
- Market launch at this year's SPS trade show in Nuremberg as part of Siemens Xcelerator
Industrial companies are increasingly relying on
what’s known as edge computing in their production. It allows them to capture
and process data where it’s generated: at the field level in the plant. At this
year's SPS trade show in Nuremberg, the technology company Siemens is expanding
its range of products and services for Industrial Edge at all levels. This will
allow users to connect their information technology (IT) even better with the
operational level (OT). Industrial Edge is also part of the portfolio of the Siemens
Xcelerator open and flexible business platform.
- Opportunities from European Unitary Patent,
above all, in digital technologies
- Offerings on Siemens Xcelerator platform
can be protected much more effectively with European Unitary Patent
Siemens is
at the forefront of unitary patent applications. The European Unitary Patent – together
with the associated Unified Patent Court (UPC) – started in June 2023.
Since then, the European Patent Office has received more than 12,000
applications for the new European Unitary Patent – most of these applications
came from Siemens.
- Joint commitment to reduce
software’s environmental footprint
- Siemens recognizes
importance of software in order to advance sustainability and aims to invest in
sustainability networks like Green Software Foundation
- Green Software Foundation
focuses on developing energy-efficient systems and infrastructure and aims for
green software to become new standard for the future
Siemens is proud to join the Green Software
Foundation (GSF) as a new member of its steering committee to help guide the
Foundation’s strategic direction. Siemens’ steadfast commitment to resource
efficiency and sustainability aligns with the GSF’s mission to build the tools,
knowledge and best practices necessary for reducing software’s environmental
footprint.
- Festo AX Data Access app available on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace
- Connectivity solution helps to drive productivity and sustainability
- Siemens Industrial Edge Ecosystem continues to grow: More apps from Festo being planned
Siemens Xcelerator, the open digital
business platform, creates an open ecosystem for collaboration between
customers, Siemens, and certified partners, from large technology companies to
independent software developers. Festo and Siemens announced their latest
partnership at this year’s Hannover Messe trade fair. Festo has joined the
Industrial Edge Ecosystem. To kick this off, Festo is offering the Festo AX
Data access app, effective immediately, on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace,
where industrial customers can
purchase numerous apps from different providers. The integrated IoT
solutions based on these apps offer customers greater productivity,
flexibility, and sustainability. Siemens launched the independent, cross-vendor
app store for industrial customers in October 2021. This marketplace is based
on the Siemens Industrial Edge platform. It uses edge computing to process data
right at its source, such as on an industrial PC in machines or plants. Effective
immediately, Festo is offering data-driven AI solutions from the Festo
Automation Experience (Festo AX) portfolio on the marketplace.
- SINEC Security Inspector: Offering a single user interface for a software framework combining different cybersecurity tools
- Includes market-tested solutions for asset detection and identification, compliance checks, malware scans and vulnerability checks
- Originally developed by and used for Siemens only, now available for any industrial environment
With the evolving convergence of IT and OT networks in industrial manufacturing, cybersecurity concerns have risen likewise. Moreover, legal regulations force industrial companies to enhance cybersecurity in their processes. To address the growing need for industrial cybersecurity solutions, the technology company Siemens has grown its cybersecurity solution portfolio and launched an all-in-one security testing suite for industrial communication networks. The SINEC Security Inspector is a software framework for active one-time scanning that allows individual network devices, network segments or the entire network infrastructure to be scanned during maintenance time windows. It brings together a selection of best-in-class security tools which are integrated into a single user interface.
- RUGGEDCOM RST2428P: a secure, high-port density advanced switching platform with Power-over-Ethernet
- Enables secure communications for high-speed, real-time control applications and SCADA systems in harsh environments
- Emphasis on high-bandwidth, low latency communications and cybersecurity features
As critical infrastructure networks are digitalizing
rapidly, OT networks must handle large data volumes from increasing IoT devices
in the field and connect intelligent electronic devices to IT systems securely.
To this end, Siemens has launched the RUGGEDCOM RST2428P, an advanced multilayer
Ethernet switching platform, designed to provide secure and error-free communications
for networks in harsh environments like electric power, transportation, or oil
and gas plants.
- Infrastructure for private industrial 5G networks with a focus on automation applications
- The solution is already in use at Siemens plants and pilot customers like Salzgitter AG
- 5G is crucial for mobile robots, autonomous logistics, driverless transport systems, and edge devices
For the first time, the technology company Siemens is launching a private infrastructure developed in-house for the 5G mobile communications standard. The solution enables industrial companies to build their own local 5G networks that will provide optimal support for automation applications. "By building their own 5G networks, industrial companies are launching the next stage of connected production," says Axel Lorenz, CEO of Process Automation at Siemens. "5G is crucial for applications like mobile robots, autonomous logistics, and driverless transport systems in factories. Siemens' private 5G infrastructure also gives users sole control over the data in their 5G network at all times, and they can custom-configure the network for their applications."
