- Simotics SD motor series from Siemens is now consistently available in efficiency class Super Premium Efficiency (IE4)
- Exceeds increasingly stringent requirements of ErP Directive 2019/1781, which takes effect in two steps in July 2021 and July 2023
- Users can meet long-term efficiency standards, save energy, lower operating costs, and reduce CO2 emissions
Siemens is presenting the Simotics SD motor series as part of the Digital Enterprise Virtual Experience at the Hannover Messe 2021. The standard version of Simotics SD is offered in the efficiency class Super Premium Efficiency (IE4) across the entire power spectrum from 2.2 to 1,000 kW and for the number of poles 2, 4, as well as from 75 kW for 6 poles and from 55 kW for 8 poles. Simotics SD in IE4 thus exceeds the so-called ErP Directive 2019/1781 (energy-related products) – both the first stage, which will be valid by July 2021, as well as the next, which will apply from July 2023. The directive defines the eco-design requirements for electric motors and speed control systems.

- Siemens Caring Hands makes tablets available to all local THW
sections through the THW Foundation
- Devices are also to be equipped with cloud-based apps based on Siemens’
Mendix software
- Civil defense and disaster control teams are to use tablets and
software to respond to emergencies in a faster and more targeted manner
- Project is part of the COVID-19 relief fund set up by Siemens and is
a key element of THW Foundation’s PROGRESSUS initiative
Siemens Caring Hands e.V. is making a
long-term contribution to fighting the pandemic and is supporting the task
forces of the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) in driving
digital transformation with the help of the THW Foundation. This will simplify
THW’s work as a system-relevant organization in times of crisis. In total,
Siemens Caring Hands is donating 668 tablets to THW Foundation, which in turn
is making it possible to use these devices at all 668 local THW sections.
Siemens Caring Hands is not only bearing the hardware costs, but is also making
Siemens experts available as advisors to help put the devices into operation –
for example, by helping with data protection issues and by equipping the
tablets with additional cloud-based apps. These apps are being programmed for
this specific purpose by Mendix, a Business Unit of Siemens Digital Industries
and a global leader in no-code/low-code applications. To develop the apps, a
multi-phase process has been established that enables THW to plan the low-code
applications on its own according to its specific needs and to then develop the
apps with the aid of a hackathon that Siemens will be holding at the end of
April.

This year, the 1.4 million square meter Deutsche Messe exhibition site in Hanover, Germany will become 5G-ready. Deutsche Messe, which organizes international capital goods trade shows, has obtained a frequency allocation in the 3.7-3.8 GHz range from the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency) and will set up one of the largest 5G zones in Europe, spanning 30 halls and buildings as well as the entire open-air ground. Siemens is playing a very specific role in this achievement. As one of the key exhibitors at the HANNOVER MESSE, Siemens is setting up a private 5G campus network with a focus on industrial use in one of the exhibition halls in Hanover. The network can be used by exhibitors during trade shows and, outside of trade show times, can be used by companies for tests and field trials.
