- Software to help reduce electricity consumption by up to 6 percent, power loss by more than 10 percent
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure and its partners, Sagemcom and Bitė Lietuva, are participating
in the rollout of 1.2 million smart meters across Lithuania. Siemens will
provide Lithuanian distribution system operator ESO with the EnergyIP meter
data management system as well as service and maintenance for 10 years.
Sagemcom is supplying the 1.2 million smart meters and the Siconia head-end
system, which reads the data generated by the meters. Bitė Lietuva, a telecommunications
provider in Lithuania, is the partner for communication technology. The new
smart meter infrastructure enables ESO to reduce electricity consumption by up
to 6 percent, cut power losses in the overall supply network by over 10
percent, and lead to higher energy efficiency in the overall operations.

- Up to 37% energy savings for cooling and ventilation
- Adaptive Flow Optimizer and continuous self-optimization
- Self-test reports for easy documentation of settings data
The Intelligent Valve from Siemens Smart Infrastructure, a self-optimizing, dynamic valve with cloud connection, now has an Adaptive Flow Optimizer, which is unique on the market. This technology, as well as new features such as automatic presetting, continuous optimization of the delta T limitation (T) and system-generated reports, make it possible to achieve cost and energy savings while maintaining comfort for the building occupants. For the first time, actions are autonomously evaluated and executed by the Intelligent Valve and communicated to the building operator.
- 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.
