Digitalization, sustainability, shortage of skilled workers: Companies
in the process industry are currently facing major challenges. To prepare their
plants for the future, Siemens believes that operators must rely on a highly
flexible process control system. Against this backdrop, Siemens has now
launched both a new software version and new hardware components for its
Simatic PCS neo web-based process control system. With version 4.0, Simatic PCS
neo is now ready for plant capacities and large-scale projects of up to 64,000
process objects and 56 controllers – making it suitable for industrial plants
of all sizes.
- Analyze MyDrives Edge with new feature to optimize energy consumption
- Analyze MyDrives Edge is part of Siemens Xcelerator
- New compact DC/DC converter Sinamics DCP 250 kW
In the field of
energy-efficient and sustainable drive technology, Siemens is bringing two
innovations to this year's Smart Production Solutions (SPS) trade fair in
Nuremberg. The first innovation relates to the Analyze MyDrives Edge
application, which is already established on the market. This is equipped with
a new feature that ensures transparency regarding the energy consumption of the
entire drive system. The AI-based feature of the Edge app calculates all data
without the need for additional sensors and special measuring devices. The app
shows how efficiently the drive runs, how high energy consumption and operating
costs are and what carbon footprint the drive leaves behind. Drive settings can
thus be optimized even better to customer needs.

Siemens Digital
Industries Software today announced the immediate availability of Siemens’
Capital™ Electra™ X, a new cloud-native electrical design software as a service (SaaS) offering aimed at individual electrical designers or small
teams that require an affordable yet powerful electrical design solution. Part
of the Siemens Xcelerator™ portfolio of software and services, Capital Electra
X offers users sophisticated
electrical design capabilities with lower cost-of-ownership and shorter time-to-productivity
than traditional on-premises solutions.
- Green Stay Initiative (GSI) is first global standard to enable more
sustainable business-travel lodging and meetings
- Beginning in 2023, Siemens to select its preferred supplier hotels
according to GSI sustainability criteria
- Open-source tool available for also enabling other companies to
reduce their carbon footprint
Siemens will be the first global company to introduce a mandatory Green Stay
Initiative (GSI) policy and request that hotels provide data about their
environmental impact. Together with the international service company HRS,
Siemens developed global, traceable, and standardized criteria by which the
carbon footprint of each individual hotel can be tracked and compared with others.
So far, there has not been a global standard for using traceable criteria to compare
hotel sustainability.
Using less resources and emitting less CO2, but also being profitable -
this is what Siemens is out to do for its customers at speed and scale with its
digital business platform Siemens Xcelerator. Digital business is one of
Siemens’ key growth drivers today. The ecosystem of Siemens Xcelerator and with
it its curated portfolio is ever expanding.

- Siemens strengthens position as a key technology partner for automotive battery manufacturing
Siemens and Automotive Cells Company (ACC) have signed
a Memorandum of Understanding to join forces in a new strategic partnership. Under
the agreement, Siemens will become ACC’s preferred supplier in automation, digitalization,
and electrification technology, enabling ACC to scale-up its production,
maximizing plant and energy efficiency.
- Open, digital business platform Siemens Xcelerator based on comprehensive, curated portfolio of software, services and connected hardware keeps expanding
- Volta Trucks and Siemens partner to accelerate commercial fleet electrification
- Automotive Cells Company (ACC) and Siemens partner to optimize battery cell production

Xcelerator platform.
- Founded as a courtyard workshop in Berlin on October 1, 1847
- Around four million people employed worldwide to date since 1847
- Current global market leader in automation, electrification, digitalization and transportation
- Celebration in Berlin with German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz
On October
12, 1847, Siemens started operations as a small factory workshop with ten
employees manufacturing pointer telegraphs, in a courtyard tucked away behind a
building on Schoeneberger Strasse in Berlin. Now, 175 years later, Siemens has more
than 300,000 employees around the world and, with around €62 billion in annual
revenue, is one of the world’s largest technology powerhouses. On
October 1, 1847, 11 days before operations began, Werner von Siemens and
precision mechanic Johann Georg Halske had completed the company’s official
founding. Today, October 12, 2022, Siemens is marking its 175th birthday with a
celebratory event at the Schaltwerk factory in the Siemensstadt section of
Berlin. German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, together with numerous guests
from the realms of politics, business and academia will join the anniversary event.
Sustainability in additive manufacturing
What does truly environmentally friendly additive manufacturing look like? Using a few selected stations, our experts will explain how digitalization, efficient use of resources and cross-industry collaboration are creating sustainable additive manufacturing: With more efficient production processes, sustainable design and a resilient supply chain, additive manufacturing is helping to achieve climate goals and shape an environmentally friendly industry.Experience at our booth (D119, Hall 12.1) how Siemens brings together the real and the digital world to realize sustainable additive manufacturing.
Thus, the potential of additive manufacturing is manifold:
- More efficient production and more resilient supply chains through print-on-demand and digital warehousing.
- Quickly repair and improve products instead of replacing them
- Optimized product design thanks to completely new construction methods
- Improved material efficiency, circular economy and carbon footprint
- Individualization and industrialization at the same time - infinitely scalable production from lot size one to mass production
