- Process control system Simatic PCS neo version 4.0 ready for process plants of any size
- Extended functionalities for modular systems based on MTP standard
- New hardware platform: Siemens presents new Simatic S7-4100 controller generation and Simatic CN 4100 communication node
- Siemens presents Simatic PCS neo V4.0 together with the new hardware for the first time at the SPS trade fair from November 8 to 10, 2022 in Nuremberg
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’ Capital Electra X is a new cloud-native electrical design software as a service offering, targeting small to medium sized businesses
- Browser-based solution will enable designers and engineers to create electrical schematics easier and faster, using any device, for a low monthly cost
- Based on pioneering technology from the recently acquired Radica Software, a specialist in electrical design software
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.

60,000 customers now
benefit daily from more space, greater comfort and more security cameras – new
483/484 series ensures reliable service
With immediate
effect, DB is completely converting the S8 line to its newest generation of
trains. The modern trains with their distinctive flat front are already
reliably operating on three of Berlin’s S-Bahn lines. As of today, around
60,000 passengers using the S8 will also benefit from better information, more
security cameras, and additional space for wheelchair users, strollers and
bicycles. Rather than operating with four cars, the new trains have six. In
addition, the S8 line has been extended from Birkenwerder to Wildau via Zeuthen
during peak traffic periods. Together with the S46, the two lines now ensure
environmentally friendly connections to the nearby Studentenstadt.
- Siemens and Automotive Cells Company to cooperate on large-scale and sustainable solutions for battery production as part of Siemens Xcelerator open ecosystem
- ACC will use Siemens digital twin technology to accelerate progress towards ACC gigafactories in Billy-Berclau Douvrin, France, Kaiserslautern, Germany and potentially Termoli, Italy
- 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.
With the work
inaugurated today, the Rail Service Center of Novara, Italy is a candidate to
be one of the thirteen world centers of excellence managed by Siemens Mobility
for the maintenance of rolling stock - passenger trains, high-speed trains,
locomotives, subways - and the second in Europe for locomotive maintenance
after the Allach factory site in Germany.
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
- CBTC
signaling system and GoA4 operation to be implemented across a 22.8 km route, at
23 stations, and on 25 trains
- GoA4
functionality will allow for full automated driverless train operations
- The automated
signaling system will provide greater availability, enhanced operations, and
better passenger experience
Siemens Mobility, along with consortium partners ST
Engineering and Stadler, have been awarded an Electrical and Mechanical (E&M)
turnkey contract to deliver the Yellow Line for Kaohsiung Metro. Siemens
Mobility will provide its state-of-the-art CBTC signaling technology with GoA4
functionality, which will allow for full automated train operations (ATO). Furthermore,
Siemens Mobility will deliver its highly reliable and precise Airlink radio
communication system which will facilitate the communication of wayside and
onboard signaling equipment, that will be installed on the new trains.
Twelve Siemens
Mobility trams have been in service in Ulm since 2018. A further six vehicles
have been reordered and the first Avenio M will be put on the rails this week -
around 10 months ahead of the announced delivery date.
- Siemens and partners launch safe.trAIn
research project
- Practicable linking of AI processes with
requirements and approval procedures in railway environments
- AI-based methodologies for driverless
regional trains
- Safe.trAIn to support standardization
activities in AI and rail transportation
In a project that will run until the end of 2024, Siemens
and 16 partners will facilitate advances in the driverless operation of
regional trains with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI). Within the “safe.trAIn”
project, which the German government is subsidizing, there is a budget of €23 million
available for this task. Solutions for meeting the requirements in this highly
regulated and standardized environment have the potential to substantially boost
the efficiency and sustainability of regional railway transportation.
