- Water model demonstrates the use of digital solutions in real scenarios
- Digital twin in use for more efficiency and process optimization
- Siemens Water applications increase optimization and savings potential in water and wastewater plants
Climate change, urbanisation, water pollution and stricter laws and
regulations – water management is facing major challenges. In order to meet the
increasing demand for clean water and to protect water resources sustainably,
innovations, ideas and initiatives are required.
At this year's IFAT, Siemens will be showcasing how digitalization and
automation are helping to meet these requirements and promote and optimize
sustainable water management.

- Transmission of Profinet IO packets via a private 5G network
- VXLAN as transmission technology embeds Profinet protocol
- Use of a central control system for multiple mobile participants reduces energy and maintenance costs
Siemens enables the transmission of Profinet IO
via a private 5G network, which allows data to be transmitted in real time for
industrial applications. This is made possible by the VXLAN (Virtual Extensible
LAN) transmission technology in the Scalance 5G routers and security appliances
from Siemens. VXLAN embeds the Profinet IO protocol, which is transmitted in
Layer 2, into Layer 3 packets, which allows them to be transmitted across
network boundaries. Since Layer 2 communication now takes place via 5G, a
central controller can communicate with decentralized I/O modules on mobile
devices such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) via Profinet in a private 5G
network and no local controls have to be used on the individual AGVs. This
saves costs and reduces maintenance. At the Hannover Messe, visitors can see
this innovation at the booth of the organization "5G-ACIA" in Hall 9.
- Predictive Service Analyzer provides information about anomalies in the drive system
- Increased plant availability by up to 30 percent through reduced production downtime
- AI-based algorithm for drive systems
As part of Predictive
Services for Drive Systems, Siemens is expanding its offering at the Hannover
Messe with an edge application. The Predictive Service Analyzer indicates
defects in the drive system at an early stage before they affect the entire
production. As a result, unplanned production downtime can be avoided and
maintenance times can be scheduled in good time, increasing plant availability
by up to 30 percent. By scheduling maintenance and servicing activities based
on actual demand, this increases productivity by up to 10 percent. The Predictive
Service Analyzer's AI-based solution detects early signs of anomalies, such as
those indicating mechanical damage in the motor, including bearing damage,
imbalance, and misalignment, as well as critical operating conditions of the
frequency converter. The app assesses the severity of the defect and the
expected remaining runtime and can thus predict potential future failures.
- Siemens’ trade show motto: “Intelligent intralogistics - experience the flow”
- Digitalization in intralogistics as a decisive competitive advantage
- Highlight: Trade show model of a Dynamic Gapper application demonstrates the benefits possible by connecting the real and digital worlds
Under the motto
"Intelligent intralogistics - experience the flow", Siemens will
present at this year's Logimat in Hall 3, Booth D11, how a comprehensive
digital twin is developed with the Digital Enterprise Portfolio. Simulation based
on a digital twin makes it possible to design applications and processes in
intralogistics in a highly efficient, flexible and intelligent way. Considering
the fact that markets and requirements have changed in the past two years and
the intralogistics industry has to cope with a rapidly growing e-commerce, this
contributes to sustainable competitiveness. Here, increasing inventory turnover
rates with shorter storage periods, small order quantities with high delivery
speeds, rising return rates and short-term increases in delivery quantities
require flexible and scalable intralogistics processes. The new requirements
can be managed with the help of digitalization and automation.
- Transition to Software as a Service (SaaS) business accelerating, passing $200M in cloud annual recurring revenue
