- Automatic handling of up to 1800 pieces of luggage per hour
- Improved security and more comfort for travelers and airport staff
- Modernization in compliance with tightened international security rules for luggage inspection
- Siemens also providing management systems, software and communications for remote operation
- Order volume of 164 million euros
Siemens will modernize the existing security systems for luggage control at Spain's five busiest airports. The contract for the luggage inspection systems at the airports of Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca and Gran Canaria has a volume of around 164 million euros. The customer is AENA (Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea), the Spanish semi-governmental airport operator. With 264 million passengers and more than one million tons of freight in 2018, AENA is one of the world's largest airport operators. The new luggage inspection systems from Siemens will help to significantly increase traveler safety. At the same time, passengers can be handled more quickly and travel more comfortably.
- Retrofit of substation automation and protection system in Norway including Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity
- Consolidation, visualization and analysis of grid data in MindSphere cloud
- Option to develop additional use cases during project execution
- Digitalization of grid assets optimizes overall efficiency
Together with the Norwegian distribution system operator Glitre Energi Nett, Siemens will build a digital substation to pilot Internet of things (IoT) analytics and applications for power grids. IoT-ready Siprotec protection and control and Sicam automation devices will be connected via OPC UA PubSub, an open standard communication protocol, to MindSphere – the Siemens cloud-based open operating system for IoT. The Siprotec dashboard cloud application will make previously inaccessible data fully available and help to process grid data for the first time in the cloud with zero engineering effort.
- Successful collaboration in both software and hardware for additive manufacturing further extended
- New CNC Sinumerik One to be integrated successively into the entire machine fleet
BeAM, a leading machine manufacturer in the field of DED (Directed Energy Deposition) technology for additive manufacturing, and the global technology company Siemens announced at EMO 2019 their plans to further intensify their already successful collaboration. This is based on the successful piloting of Sinumerik One, the new CNC generation from Siemens. As a "digital native", the new controller features software for the creation of digital twins, which supports the seamless integration of hardware and software. BeAM is the first machine builder to equip an additive manufacturing machine - Modulo 250 - with a Sinumerik One. At EMO 2019, the world's first AM machine equipped with a Sinumerik One will be presented to the public at the Siemens booth in Hall 9, Booth H50. Visitors to EMO can see how the program simulation is operated on the machine using the Digital Twin of Production in the NX Virtual Machine software. „We are very excited to close the loop in the additive digital chain by bridging virtual simulation and actual deposition on our new Modulo 250 thanks to the integration of the new Sinumerik One. It opens up new possibilities for our industrial customers willing to integrate further DED in their value chain and optimize its usage “, explains BeAM’s CEO Vincent Gillet.
- Advanced Battery Technology Innovation Center (ABTIC) is initiated jointly by Tianmu Lake Institute of Advanced Energy Storage and Siemens to develop advanced battery technologies and help bring them to volume production
- ABTIC aims to develop and provide digital solutions for production chains and innovation chains on next generation batteries
Announced today, Siemens Digital Industries Software has partnered with Tianmu Lake Institute of Advanced Energy Storage Technologies (TIES), a major Chinese energy storage research and development center, to build an Advanced Battery Technology Innovation Center. The Innovation Center, to be located at the 500 million-yuan, 51,000 square meter facility in Liyang, China, will be dedicated to transforming and upgrading the advanced battery industry, including nurturing advanced battery technology research and development, and the development and introduction of high-end talents in this growing area.
Let the good times roll: Starting September 21, about six million people from all around the world will be enjoying themselves at the Oktoberfest in Munich for two weeks. Traditionally, Siemens supplies drives and control systems as well as energy distribution for the festival's rides. Automation solutions from Siemens also control special beer pipelines – the only ones of its kind worldwide –that supply the Hacker, Winzerer Faehndl and Braeurosl festival tents with their tasty Oktoberfest brews. Because many breweries use Siemens technologies within their brewing process, Siemens doesn't only ensure fresh beer at the Oktoberfest.
- New Edge applications for workpiece and process quality, machine availability and process optimization
- Analyze MyWorkpiece /Vision and Optimize MyMachining /Magazine based on artificial intelligence
- Manage MySinumerik Edge for the central control and condition monitoring of Edge devices
Siemens has extended its Industrial Edge offerings for the machine-oriented Sinumerik Edge to include more new applications. With the new software, the company is helping machine tool users to improve workpiece and process quality, increase machine availability, and further optimize machine processes. With Edge Computing, large volumes of data can be processed locally on the machine tool. This also reduces storage and transmission costs for users, as large data volumes can be preprocessed and only the relevant data then transferred to a cloud or IT infrastructure.
