- Sinumerik ONE enables seamless interaction between virtual and real world for significantly increased productivity in the production and use of machine tools
- Scalable CNC-portfolio for highest performance requirements and optimum surface quality
With Sinumerik ONE, the first digital native CNC, Siemens is driving forward digital transformation in the machine tool industry. The new controller works with software to create the machine controller and associated digital twin from one engineering system and thus contributes to the seamless integration of hardware and software. Thanks to its seamless interaction between virtual and real world as well as high-performance hardware, Sinumerik ONE is setting new standards in terms of productivity, performance and digitalization. It is the future-proof CNC for machine tools in the increasingly digital world of manufacturing. Both machine manufacturers and machine operators benefit from the universal digital twin for the product, production and performance.
- Sinamics G115D comprises motor, frequency converter and gear box and is available as one complete solution in a motor-mounted and wall-mounted version
- Comprehensive TIA portal and Startdrive integration simplifies commissioning
- Compatibility with MindConnect portfolio enables cloud-based analysis
With
Sinamics G115D, Siemens presents a new, compact, and powerful drive system
specifically designed for horizontal conveyor applications. The drive system
comprises motor, frequency converter and gearbox in one unit and is offered in
two versions – wall-mounted and motor-mounted. The Sinamics G115D drive system
is characterized by a robust design with a high IP protection class (up to
IP66) and is therefore also suitable for use in harsh environments. Thanks to
its compact dimensions, the Sinamics G115D can be installed easily even in
confined areas. The drive system can also be operated reliably over a wide
temperature range of -30 to 55 degrees Celsius. The Sinamics G115D drive system
is suitable for applications in intralogistics and airports as well as in the
automotive and food & beverage industries and is available in the power
ranges 0.37 to 7.5 kilowatts for wall mounting and 0.37 to 4 kilowatts for
motor mounting. The drive system can be put into operation quickly and easily
with comprehensive integration into the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation)
portal including the Startdrive commissioning software, or the Sinamics G120 Smart
Access Module (SAM) web server tool for setup and diagnostics. To be prepared
for the digital transformation and to enable cloud-based analyses, Sinamics
G115D is integrated into the entire MindConnect portfolio and is compatible
with Mindsphere applications such as Analyze MyDrives.
- New Edge applications for workpiece and process quality, machine availability and process optimization
- Analyze MyWorkpiece /Vision and Optimize MyMachining /Magazine based on artificial intelligence
- Manage MySinumerik Edge for the central control and condition monitoring of Edge devices
Siemens has extended its Industrial Edge offerings for the machine-oriented Sinumerik Edge to include more new applications. With the new software, the company is helping machine tool users to improve workpiece and process quality, increase machine availability, and further optimize machine processes. With Edge Computing, large volumes of data can be processed locally on the machine tool. This also reduces storage and transmission costs for users, as large data volumes can be preprocessed and only the relevant data then transferred to a cloud or IT infrastructure.
- Managing Board members’ individual
responsibility to have greater weight
- In addition to capital market
performance, sustainability targets included for first time
- Contractual maximum compensation
agreed
- New compensation system makes
Siemens a pioneer among DAX companies
Siemens intends
to adjust the compensation system for its Managing Board members in order to
align the system more closely with the company’s sustainable development and
thus with the Vision 2020+ company strategy. By implementing the new system, Siemens
is taking on a pioneering role because the new approach already reflects the
draft version of the German Corporate Governance Code of May 9, 2019, and the
draft version of the act transposing the European Union’s Second Shareholder
Rights Directive into German law. In addition, the new concept not only
considers performance on the capital market, but also places emphasis on
targets for environmental protection, professional development of employees and
customer satisfaction. In the future, the broad-based MSCI World Industrials
Index – instead of a comparison with five main competitors – will be the yardstick
for the comparisons that determine the value of the stock awards. The new Managing
Board compensation system, which already applies as of fiscal 2020, will be
submitted to shareholders for endorsement at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on
February 5, 2020.
- Using proven hardware and software, Siemens develops a solution for social distancing at the workplace
- Companies can simulate and manage the possible risks to their employees while at the same time increasing the productivity of their plants
- Simatic Real-time Locating Systems (RTLS) plus SieTrace software provide location information which customers can use to control their manufacturing processes and to design their operating procedures future-proof
Siemens uses a combination of hardware and software to offer a new solution for the challenges that companies face as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The solution enables companies to quickly and efficiently control how employees interact with one another, with the production line and with the plant setup. The integrated digital twin helps the company to simulate the safety of employees, to test and optimize the setup of work areas, to validate safety measures, and thus to design future-proof production lines.
- New version 8.0 facilitates integration of Simatic S7-1500 controller as well as mixed operation with Simatic S7-400 controller operation with the Simatic S7-400 controller
- Improved production and batch transparency with new MES reporting options
- Enhanced safety concept with new functions
- Lean Edition for micro breweries and craft brewers
Siemens is presenting a new version of the Braumat brewery process control system at the BrauBeviale in Nuremberg: The latest version 8.0 is based on the Simatic S7-1500 controller and has been optimized in the areas of reporting, weighing systems and security. Already installed Simatic S7-400 controllers can still be used, including in mixed operation. Existing Braumat installations can be expanded or modernized with Simatic S7-1500 controller. Production downtimes caused by new installations are thus avoided.
- AnalyzeMyWorkpiece /Monitor enables continuous monitoring of workpiece production
- Quality control takes place immediately during production
- New application extends the range of existing applications for quality assurance
With AnalyzeMyWorkpiece /Monitor, Siemens is extending its software portfolio for machine tools for workpiece quality. The Edge application based on high-frequency data, which will be presented at EMO 2019, enables continuous monitoring of workpiece production in machine tools. Measured values such as position data, torque values or control deviations together with context information, for example the tool currently being used, are acquired from the machine with high frequency and without feedback via Sinumerik Edge. The measured values are compared continuously with a reference model. In the event of deviations that exceed a predefined level, the application logs the result, sends it to the machine tool and enables prompt responses by the operator. This means, for example, that unique process-parallel quality control is supported during production.
- New devices for electrical installations in industrial and infrastructure environments with a lower nominal current of 0.1 to 0.4 amperes
- Firmware update with improved control and diagnostic functions
- Failsafe group shutdown function without additional wiring
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is adding four new devices to its portfolio of Simatic ET 200SP motor starters, which can be used to start electric drives with a power output from 0.1 to 0.4 amperes (A). These types of drives are found in fans and coolant pumps, for example. The compact motor starters are installed in control cabinets and are designed to start single and three-phase motors of machines and systems, protecting them against overloads and short-circuits. They are each available in standard and safety variants.
