- Siemens’ lightning information service detected about 329,000 lightning strikes in Germany in 2019 – down 26 percent on 2018
- Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2019 was the city of Speyer in Rhineland-Palatinate
- The fewest strikes were recorded in three Bavarian cities: Hof, Bayreuth and Schweinfurt
- Bavaria was the German state with the most lightning activity in 2019, Potsdam was the leader among state capitals
- The most lightning strikes in 2019 were recorded on June 12
- At European level, Trieste and surrounding area tops the ranking in Siemens’ 2019 lightning atlas
The city of Speyer in the state of Rheinland-Palatinate was Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2019. Siemens’ lightning information service BLIDS (which stands for Blitz-Informationsdienst von Siemens) detected just under 3.1 lightning strikes per square kilometer in Speyer in 2019. The cities of Rostock on the Baltic coast and Lübeck in the state of Schleswig-Holstein took second and third places with 2.6 and 2.5 ground flashes per square kilometer, respectively. Germany’s lowest density of lightning strikes was recorded in the Bavarian cities of Hof and Bayreuth, where considerably fewer than 0.1 lightning strikes per square kilometer were recorded. The Bavarian city of Schweinfurt, which was No. 1 in Siemens’ 2018 lightning atlas, was also at the bottom of the list, recording 0.1 lightning strikes per square kilometer in 2019. With lightning striking just under 2.3 times per square kilometer, Potsdam led the country’s list of state capitals in 2019, followed by the neighboring city of Berlin (rounded off: 2.2). Berlin is also the German state registering the highest lightning density, while Bavaria recorded the highest number of measured ground flashes in 2019. Overall, at 329,000, BLIDS recorded its lowest number of lightning strikes, around 26 percent fewer than in 2018.

- Digitalization and automation solutions provide companies in discrete and process industries with the necessary flexibility for new conditions
- The Digital Enterprise Virtual Summit showcased concrete and future-oriented solutions
- The Digital Enterprise Virtual Summit had around 12,000 registrations from Customers and Partners with already 6,300 live attendees on the day of the event
The current situation creates major challenges for industrial companies worldwide – and shows that digitalized and highly automated production is more important than ever when it comes to gaining a competitive edge. This is the only way that companies can react to current and future challenges with the required degree of flexibility. Successful solutions were presented at the Digital Enterprise Virtual Summit by Siemens on July 16. As part of the conference, representatives from numerous companies from the discrete and process industries discussed strategies and technologies for future success under these new conditions. The focus was on topics such as the horizontal and vertical integration of the value chain with simulation and optimization from product creation through to servicing and from field level to the cloud. Other topics included online and remote solutions as well as edge and cloud computing, additive manufacturing, industrial 5G and artificial intelligence. The Digital Enterprise Virtual Summit had around 12,000 registrations from Customers and Partners with already 6,300 live attendees on the day of the event. The Summit is now also available to be viewed on demand at http://www.siemens.com/digital-enterprise-summit.

- Sitrans SAM IQ app for the Smart Asset Management of field devices increases system availability and process quality
- App makes previously unused device information available
- Prepares data and offers numerous diagnostic options
- Supports NAMUR information model and use cases
Siemens is expanding its field device portfolio for process plants to include the new Sitrans SAM IQ app for the Smart Asset Management (SAM) of field devices. With the Sitrans SAM IQ app, the user has new opportunities to make use of valuable information that was previously hidden. Primarily, this is additional diagnostic data, which can be collected, prepared and visualized clearly. Sitrans SAM IQ has been developed specifically in line with the requirements of NAMUR, the User Association of Automation Technology and Digitalization in Process Industries. The app can process data from Siemens field devices as well as devices from other manufacturers. The transfer of all device data to a uniform information model means that information from all manufacturers can be derived and compared for the first time.
