Strained
supply chains, geopolitical uncertainties, skilled-labor shortages and climate
change are increasing the pressure to digitalize and automate value chains –
always with the aim of becoming faster, more adaptable and more resilient. For
this reason, Siemens will use “Accelerate Transformation” as its motto for
Hannover Messe 2023, where it will be showcasing how new offerings from its open,
digital business platform, Siemens Xcelerator, enable customers’ digital
transformation in industry and infrastructure faster and at scale. Using the
concrete example of an industrial plant for battery production, Siemens will
show how to rapidly transform production facilities to enable manufacturing
operations that are digital from end to end. In addition, the Siemens Digital

- 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.

- 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."
