- Siemens presents liquid-cooled, robust power conversion system based on proven Sinamics S120 platform
- Grid converter comes with certification in accordance to VDE-AR-N 4110 and with validated simulation model for easy project planning, optimization and integration into the power grid
With Sinamics PCS, Siemens presents a new power conversion system for battery storage applications. The Sinamics PCS grid converter makes locally generated battery power usable for industrial and public power grids. Sinamics PCS controls the charging and discharging process of the battery and helps to handle load peaks and grid disturbances via the battery storage, to store the electricity in an energy- and cost-efficient manner and to bring the energy stored in batteries efficiently and reliably into the grid.
- Growing demand for remote access via public 5G networks for remote maintenance
- Scalance MUM856-1 connects local industrial applications to the public 5G network
- Sinema Remote Connect management platform provides secure access to remote plants and machines
Siemens presents the first industrial 5G router for connecting local industrial applications to a public 5G network. The device will be available in spring 2021. Using the newly developed Scalance MUM856-1, industrial applications such as machines, control elements, and other devices can be accessed remotely via a public 5G network, providing a simple remote maintenance option for these applications using the high data rates offered by 5G. The Sinema Remote Connect management platform for VPN connections can be used to provide easy and secure access to these remote plants or machines – even if they are integrated in other networks.
- Simatic Robot Integrator with Simatic Robot Library makes engineering easy for robots in the TIA Portal
- Universal interface supports integration by all robot manufacturers
- Re-usable program codes thanks to standard programming language
- Time savings of up to 30 percent for engineering
Siemens presents the Simatic Robot Library for the Simatic Robot
Integrator - a new universal robot library for the TIA (Totally Integrated
Automation) Portal, which replaces the previous manufacturer-specific
libraries. The specification has been developed in close cooperation with robot
manufacturers ABB Robotics, Comau, Epson, FANUC, Kawasaki Robotics, KUKA,
Panasonic Industry, STÄUBLI, Techman Robot, Yamaha, and YASKAWA. In future,
users will be able to program most of the robots available on the market in the
TIA Portal using the Simatic Robot Library, and make use of standard operating
concepts based on the Simatic Robot Integrator and Simatic HMI.
We released our financial figures for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020 on November 12, 2020. The Press Conference and the Analyst Call were broadcast live.
- At €57.1 billion, revenue at prior-year level; orders decline slightly to €60.0 billion
- At €7.6 billion, adjusted EBITA for Industrial Businesses only slightly below prior-year level; adjusted EBITA margin of 14.3 percent (FY 2019: 14.4 percent) stable at a high level
- Net income of €4.2 billion (FY 2019: €5.6 billion)
- Free cash flow up substantially to €6.4 billion (FY 2019: €5.8 billion); highest level in past ten years
- Vision 2020+ execution successfully driven
- Total dividend of €3.50 per share (FY 2019: €3.90)
- Outlook: Siemens expects moderate rise in net income for FY 2021 despite significant burdens from currency translation effects
In extremely difficult economic times, Siemens AG delivered a strong financial performance in fiscal 2020 (ended September 30), while successfully driving the Group’s historic transformation. Despite the major challenges worldwide caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Siemens successfully completed its fiscal year with a strong fourth quarter. In appreciation of their outstanding performance during the crisis, Siemens is paying about €200 million in bonuses to its employees worldwide. Shareholders are also to participate in the company’s business success and financial strength. For this reason, the Managing Board and Supervisory Board are proposing to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting a dividend of €3.00 plus an additional €0.50, for a total of €3.50 per share. Adjusted by ten percent to take account of the market value of the Siemens Energy spin-off, this amount is at the same level as the prior-year dividend of €3.90.
Under the motto “Partnering
for the next step to industrialize Additive Manufacturing”, Siemens is going to
present its Digital Enterprise Portfolio for the industrialization of Additive
Manufacturing at the Siemens Additive Manufacturing Summit @ Formnext Connect
2020. With Formnext Connect 2020, the leading trade fair for additive
manufacturing will take place completely virtual from November 10 to 12, 2020.
Within this framework, Siemens offers a comprehensive program - the Siemens
Additive Manufacturing Summit.
At the event Siemens is
going to present innovations and highlights around the latest partnerships and
the seamless, integrated end-to-end value chain for industrial Additive
Manufacturing. A major highlight will be
the inauguration of a virtual Additive Manufacturing reference factory for
selective laser sintering with polymers as an extension of the digital Additive
Manufacturing Experience Center.
Follow the opening talk
of the Siemens Additive Manufacturing Summit live from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. (CET). Throughout
the event, you are invited to participate in numerous presentations and expert
talks, as well as in the virtual match making of the Formnext Connect 2020, to
learn more about the industrialization of Additive Manufacturing and get in
contact with our experts.

- “Digital Enterprise SPS Dialog” virtual event on November 26, 2020: participants can discover highlights in 3D and join the dialog with Siemens experts
- New products, services, and solutions for the Digital Enterprise portfolio ensure more flexible production for rapidly changing requirements
- Numerous practical exhibits and models visualize digital progress along the entire value chain
Around SPS Connect, Siemens is hosting a
special virtual event to present new products, services, and solutions for the
Digital Enterprise portfolio,
which companies in the manufacturing and process industry can use to react to
rapidly changing market requirements and conditions. Siemens brings more
intelligence and therefore greater flexibility to production – taking industry
to the next level. This
is achieved by combining automation and digitalization solutions with cutting-edge
technologies such as artificial intelligence, edge and cloud computing or
additive manufacturing. Using

- Siemens presents the first virtual additive manufacturing reference factory for selective laser sintering and industrial post-processing with its partners EOS and DyeMansion
- End-to-end software and automation solutions from the Digital Enterprise portfolio drive the industrialization for leading technology providers and users of additive manufacturing
Under the motto "Partnering for the next step to industrialize Additive Manufacturing", Siemens is going to present at Formnext Connect its Digital Enterprise Portfolio for the industrialization of additive manufacturing as well as innovations with partners around new achievements in various additive manufacturing technologies. One highlight is the partnership with EOS and DyeMansion. Together, the three companies will present the first virtual additive manufacturing reference factory for selective laser sintering with polymers. Using the example of a midsole for footwear applications in which parameters such as design, fit and color are individually and economically taken into account, Siemens, EOS and DyeMansion will demonstrate what the next step towards the industrialization of selective laser sintering with polymers can look like along the entire production chain. "The automated chain of coordinated production steps from all suppliers, from design and printing to post-processing, as well as end-to-end IT integration, is crucial for high productivity and maximum flexibility. This applies to series parts as well as to a highly flexible lot-size-1 production for individualized products or spare parts," explains Dr. Karsten Heuser, Vice President Additive Manufacturing at Siemens Digital Industries, and continues: "With the end-to-end digitization and automation solutions from Siemens, we have succeeded, together with our partners EOS and DyeMansion, in creating a seamlessly integrated end-to-end value chain for industrial additive manufacturing with selective laser sintering and industrial post-processing solutions using polymers.”
