- Two winners: Christian Blex and Oscar
Jockel prevail among ten shortlisted candidates from pool of 189 applicants
- Siemens Conductors Scholarship for
the Karajan Academy of the Berliner Philharmoniker involves two-year program of
study and conducting their own portrait concert
- Scholarship also includes position
as assistant to Berliner Philharmoniker’s chief conductor, Kirill Petrenko
Christian
Blex (28) and Oscar Jockel (25), both from Germany, have won the Siemens Conductors
Scholarship. At the three-day conducting competition held at the Berliner Philharmonie
concert hall, the up-and-coming conductors came out on top among ten finalists
from a pool of 189 applicants from 30 countries. Jockel and Blex, both
impressed the jury chaired by Kirill Petrenko with, among other things, their
conducting of Beethoven’s Leonore Overture. As part of the Siemens Conductors
Scholarship Blex and Jockel will receive a two-year training at the Karajan
Academy of the Berliner Philharmoniker. The honors also include a position as
assistant to the chief conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker, Kirill
Petrenko, and the opportunity to conduct their own portrait concert with the
members of the Karajan Academy in the Chamber Music Hall at the Berliner Philharmonie.
The best of two
worlds – EMO 2021, Siemens is going hybrid. Under the motto
"Digitalization in Machine Tool Manufacturing - Infinite opportunities
from infinite data", Siemens will be demonstrating at EMO Milano and at
the virtual Siemens Machine Tool Days 2021, which will be held at the same
time, how the full potential of data can be used for higher productivity. This
is because combining the real world with the digital world enables
manufacturers and users of machine tools to act flexibly and sustainably.
You can experience the Siemens solutions live and meet with the experts in person at the EMO exhibition booth (Hall 7 | E06) in Milan. Or visit the Siemens Machine Tool Days (SMTD) online – Virtual Experience with virtual showroom, auditorium and Meet-the-Expert sessions.

- Two new edge devices enable scalability of industrial edge offering for machine tools
- Analyze My Workpiece /Capture now also captures
data from external sensors
- Software applications available via Machine
Tool Software Store
Siemens is
expanding its Industrial Edge offering for machine tools with two new edge
devices. In addition to the already available IPC227E, there is now the
IPC127E, an entry-level device, and the IPC427E, the most powerful edge device
for machine tools. The IPC127E serves as an entry-level solution to provide
connectivity and performance for simple use cases. With the IPC427E, Siemens is
launching a device with sufficient computing power to meet the demands of
AI-based edge applications and sophisticated data analytics. The new Simatic
ET200 adapter also offers the possibility of connecting additional external
sensors and acquiring their data at a sampling rate of up to 10kHz. For this
purpose, the already known edge application Analyze MyWorkpiece /Capture has
received an update. In addition to data on the workpiece, tool and tool path,
this app can now also record data from external sensors in high temporal
resolution. As a novelty, the app can also stream process data via MQTT to an
external MQTT endpoint. In addition, users can visualize the workpiece of a
5-axis machining operation with the newly developed online coordinate
retransformation from the machine coordinate system to the workpiece coordinate
system. This is interesting because the visualization of the machining axes in
visualization applications such as Analyze MyWorkpiece /Toolpath gives no
indication of the machined workpiece. All other recorded data can subsequently
be visualized and analyzed with Analyze MyWorkpiece /Toolpath. The insights
gained enable optimization of the CAD/CAM model and the generated NC program. In
addition, Analyze MyWorkpiece /Toolpath now allows the creation of a realistic
surface reconstruction using process data recorded with Industrial Edge for
Machine Tools. This allows the workpiece quality to be evaluated before a
workpiece has even been manufactured, because the surface reconstruction also
works with process data from an air cut.
- Sinumerik One is in operation at the BMW Group plant in Steyr, Austria
- High performance through integrated Simatic S7-1500F
Siemens supplies automation hardware and software to the BMW Group. The automation solution includes, among other things, the new generation of the Sinumerik One CNC control, which offers digital possibilities to increase productivity in production. The new automation portfolio will be used at the Steyr production plant in Austria to produce the electric drive housing. It will also help to transform production for the digital age. Siemens and the BMW Group have a long-standing partnership. The success of both companies is based on driving innovation and developing forward-looking technologies, while at the same time focusing on sustainability.
- New NCU 1740 for higher scalability of Sinumerik One
- Sinumerik Run MyRobot /Direct Control V2.0 and Run MyRobot /Direct Handling V2.0 available for Sinumerik One
- New functions for the Digital Twin in Create MyVirtual Machine and Run MyVirtual Machine
Siemens is expanding its offering for the "Digital Native" CNC Sinumerik One. Two years after its market launch, the technology company is presenting numerous innovations in hardware and software for the Sinumerik One at EMO Milano and the virtual Siemens Machine Tool Days. In this context, Siemens is demonstrating how the powerful machine tool controller can be used in a highly productive, flexible, and modular way and in the best possible way for digital transformation. In terms of hardware, the new NCU 1740 complements the existing NCU 1750 and 1760 as well as the PPU 1740, thus expanding its use in modular machines.
- Digitalizing and structuring organizational knowledge through knowledge graphs
- Building towards enriched and contextualized IoT-data service provision and AI-leveraged user self-service experience through chatbots
- Transforming today’s customer service processes and democratizing accessibility of organizational knowledge
In times of digital transformation, servicing drive systems with fully enabled access to all related data becomes a critical capability for ensured customer satisfaction and efficient business processes. One of the key levers to accomplish this resides in the transactional availability and exploitability of organizational knowledge in any form over their product-lifecycle of drive systems to facilitate collaboration, answer technical or commercial questions, expedite evidence-based decisions and back-up triggered operational activities.
