- Third party app providers can now offer solutions based on the Siemens Industrial Edge Platform
- New transaction mechanism – select, buy and use software from the open App Store with just a few clicks
- App providers profit from seamless services and instant access to the industrial automation market
Siemens, a leading provider of automation technology and industrial software, has launched a digital and vendor independent, cross-manufacturer App Store for industry customers. The marketplace serves as a transaction mechanism specifically for the Siemens Industrial Edge platform: an innovative IT platform which enables the scalable deployment of IT technologies and apps in the 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. 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 constitute an Edge Computing ecosystem.
- Virtual event from Nov 22 to 26, 2021: Explore highlights in 3D and engage in dialog with Siemens experts
- New products, services, and solutions from the Digital Enterprise portfolio enable more flexible production to adapt to rapidly changing requirements
- Numerous practice-oriented exhibits and models visualize the digital progress along the value chain
In line with the motto “Infinite
opportunities from infinite data”, Siemens has organized its own virtual event
within the scope of the SPS trade fair: It is the ideal setting to present new
products, services, and solutions from its Digital Enterprise portfolio which
enable customers from the manufacturing and process industries to respond to
ever more rapidly changing market requirements and general conditions. To make
this happen, Siemens combines the real and digital worlds. Industrial
enterprises can thus leverage the benefits of automation, electrification and
digitalization in order to act both flexibly and sustainably while at the same
time making extensive use of the data generated. Using this link
https://sie.ag/3qZY9iY, interested parties
can register for the virtual event, enabling them to discover the topics in a
virtual 3D showroom and join the dialog to extend their knowledge. The
innovations and highlights on display include: the connection of drives to the
Siemens Industrial Edge platform, an industrial 5G router for the control
cabinet, as well as a software solution for the simulation of drives. In
addition to new spare part management services and solutions and a B2B
marketplace for industrial companies, we present an ecosystem-based approach
for the exchange of emission data.
- SiGreen enables the reliable tracking of a product carbon footprint
across the supply chain
- The distributed and open Estanium network makes it possible to combine emission data into a true ecological footprint
- Companies are using data to better deploy their resources and pave the way towards an eco-friendly and sustainable economy
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 for the first time launched a 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. CO2 management thus supports companies on their way towards carbon neutral production and helps them to transform sustainability into a decisive competitive edge.
- End-to-end automation and digitalization of all process steps enables the industrialization of additive manufacturing
- Simulation and digital twins help to test and implement profitability and scalability
- Individual financing models lower investment hurdle and time-to-market
- Carbon footprint to be reduced by up to 58 percent with additively manufactured eyewear
Siemens enables the
start-up You Mawo in offering bespoke eyeglass frames in such a way that they
are accessible, affordable, and sustainable for a broad market and You Mawo can
have them produced in an economically cost-effective and responsible way. The
customization process considers parameters such as design, a perfect fit for
the person wearing the glasses, and color.
- Both companies kick off developments to ensure quality and trust in
a machine-to-machine (M2M) connected world
- The aim is to provide instant accessibility to quality and safety
information with a single source of truth to enable disruptive business models
- Anchoring physical products in the digital world using smart
contracts, blockchain and industrial edge
Merck
KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a leading science and technology company, and
Siemens, an innovation leader in automation and digitalization, Germany, plan
to develop and implement solutions that offer unprecedented levels of digital
trust in M2M connected industrial value chains. This would help industrial
customers to comply with stricter regulations in the value chain in different
countries and enable disruptive business models in a variety of industrial
sectors, ranging from the food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and electronics
industries to the automotive industry.

- Two new edge devices enable scalability of industrial edge offering for machine tools
- Analyze My Workpiece /Capture now also captures
data from external sensors
- Software applications available via Machine
Tool Software Store
Siemens is
expanding its Industrial Edge offering for machine tools with two new edge
devices. In addition to the already available IPC227E, there is now the
IPC127E, an entry-level device, and the IPC427E, the most powerful edge device
for machine tools. The IPC127E serves as an entry-level solution to provide
connectivity and performance for simple use cases. With the IPC427E, Siemens is
launching a device with sufficient computing power to meet the demands of
AI-based edge applications and sophisticated data analytics. The new Simatic
ET200 adapter also offers the possibility of connecting additional external
sensors and acquiring their data at a sampling rate of up to 10kHz. For this
purpose, the already known edge application Analyze MyWorkpiece /Capture has
received an update. In addition to data on the workpiece, tool and tool path,
this app can now also record data from external sensors in high temporal
resolution. As a novelty, the app can also stream process data via MQTT to an
external MQTT endpoint. In addition, users can visualize the workpiece of a
5-axis machining operation with the newly developed online coordinate
retransformation from the machine coordinate system to the workpiece coordinate
system. This is interesting because the visualization of the machining axes in
visualization applications such as Analyze MyWorkpiece /Toolpath gives no
indication of the machined workpiece. All other recorded data can subsequently
be visualized and analyzed with Analyze MyWorkpiece /Toolpath. The insights
gained enable optimization of the CAD/CAM model and the generated NC program. In
addition, Analyze MyWorkpiece /Toolpath now allows the creation of a realistic
surface reconstruction using process data recorded with Industrial Edge for
Machine Tools. This allows the workpiece quality to be evaluated before a
workpiece has even been manufactured, because the surface reconstruction also
works with process data from an air cut.
