- TÜV Süd certified process for system integration and solution project processing in conformity with IEC 62443-2-4 and -3-3
- Security documentation in conformity with IEC 62443
- Implementation of certified solutions with Simatic PCS 7
- Standardized processes reduce outlay for customers
Siemens is the world's first company to gain TÜV SÜD certification for the secure system integration of process automation and drive solutions in compliance with the international IEC 62443-2-4 standards. The integration projects, verified on the basis of two standard solutions in the oil & gas processing industry and in a waste incineration plant, have been certified in conformity with IEC 62443-2-4 and -3-3 and were implemented using the Simatic PCS 7 process control system. The projects involved process automation, drive solutions and comprehensive security measures and functions designed to deliver secure plant operation. The certification has a whole range of advantages to offer for customers: plant operators benefit from the precise definition of requirements, the implementation of standardized automation solutions and processes, and from the availability of documentation in conformance with standards. This documentation provides a vital foundation for verifying compliance with the technical requirements of the IT Security Act and other cyber security standards, for the sustainable improvement of IT and OT system security, and for guaranteeing the security of general supplies. The system solutions are used in sectors involving a critical infrastructure, such as waste management and the oil and gas industry.
- Siemens Mobility will manage contract from the Singapore MindSphere Application Center
- Rail Enterprise Asset Management System to enhance availability
Siemens Mobility and consortium partner ST Engineering Electronics Limited have been awarded an 18.8 million Singapore dollars contract by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) to develop and implement a Rail Enterprise Asset Management System (REAMS). This digital program will be managed from the MindSphere Application Center in Singapore, one of Siemens' digitalization hubs. The facility was the first to integrate multi-disciplinary digitalization specialists from different Siemens businesses.
Utmost reliability and maximum availability are critically important for ensuring the cost-efficient operation of rail vehicles and the infrastructure they use. After all, malfunctions and downtimes cost money, cause delays and frequently also lead to compensation claims from passengers, local transport purchasers and freight customers. Long before faults actually occur, their potential sources should be identified. To provide this information, Siemens is the first company in the rail industry to operate a special data analytics center, located in Munich, Germany.
- Integration of location data in building systems and processes
- More comfort and safety for building users and operators
- Partnership with indoor positioning expert infsoft
The Siemens Building Technologies Division is adding location-based services to its digital service offering for buildings. These services link existing building infrastructures and processes with location-specific data. This benefits all building users: People working in the building enjoy enhanced comfort. For example, they are now able to use a smartphone app to individually control the room temperature and lighting in their immediate vicinity or find and reserve an available meeting room nearby. Location-based services help visitors find their way around a building more quickly and obtain the information they need. In addition, these services dramatically improve the operational processes in a building, optimizing room utilization, simplifying emergency evacuations and making building maintenance more efficient. Beyond that, it is easier to protect assets against loss or theft, take inventory and locate them at any time. This is important, for instance, to quickly find mobile medical equipment in a hospital.
