- Siemens’ lightning information
service detected about 446,000 strokes of lightning in Germany in 2018 – 3,000
more than in 2017
- Germany’s “lightning capital” was
Schweinfurt, which also headed the list in 2014
- The fewest strikes in Kiel, Potsdam,
Schwerin and the Lüchow-Dannenberg district
- Saarland the German state with the
most lightning activity in 2018, Saarbrücken the leader among state capitals
- The most lightning strikes in 2018
on June 1
- At European level, Croatia tops the ranking
in Siemens’ 2018 lightning atlas
The Lower
Franconian city of Schweinfurt was Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2018,
succeeding the Upper Bavarian district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which topped
the list in 2017. Siemens’ lightning information service BLIDS (which stands
for
Blitz-Informationsdienst von Siemens) detected 5.0 lightning strikes
per square kilometer in Schweinfurt in 2018. The districts of
Rheinisch-Bergisch in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Weilheim-Schongau
in Upper Bavaria took second and third places with 4.0 and 3.7 ground flashes
per square kilometer, respectively. Germany’s lowest concentration of lightning
strikes was in the cities of Kiel, Potsdam and Schwerin and in the Lüchow-Dannenberg
district (0.2). With lightning striking 3.0 times per square kilometer,
Saarbrücken led the country’s list of state capitals in 2018. Saarland was the
state registering the most lightning strikes detected per square kilometer,
while Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was the state with the fewest. Overall, at 446,000,
BLIDS again registered a comparatively low level of atmospheric discharges in
Germany – although 2017’s level and 2016’s record low level of some 432,000 strikes
were exceeded by 3.2 percent.

MindSphere World Korea, an association of users, developers, universities and researchers of the cloud-based open IoT operating system MindSphere was founded on June. Through activities in various fields, MindSphere World Korea is designed to create synergies among members by exchanging technical demands, developing market models and establish IoT platforms and ecosystems based on MindSphere. The association also aims to activate data-driven businesses that utilize advanced ICT technologies in the industrial environment.
- Compact device providing combined functionality for measurement, monitoring and data transmission
- Separate detection of energy consumption and energy recovery
- Operating hour and switching cycle counters enable preventive maintenance
- Commissioning, measured values and status information via Profinet
Siemens has just launched its SIRIUS 3UG546 DC load monitoring relay on the market. The new device is the most compact of its kind for direct current (DC) applications, enabling simple and precise power measurement. The SIRIUS 3UG546 is unique in our industry: It is the first and only DC load monitoring relay to combine current and voltage measurement, power monitoring, communication and various other useful functions in one single, compact device. Until now, several individual components were required for each of these functions. The innovative new approach saves space and costs.
- Sinamics Intelligent Operator Panel IOP-2 supports local operation, monitoring, setup, diagnostics and service of all Sinamics G series converters
- IOP-2 also includes applications and functions for advanced setup of the Sinamics G120X
Siemens is extending the functionality of the proven Sinamics IOP-2 for Sinamics G series converters to include the FW V2.3 SP1 firmware update. This improves local setup, operation, monitoring, diagnostics and service of all Sinamics G series converters. The FW V2.3 SP1 update also provides users with the additional benefit of transferring special application functions into the project menu. These application functions are then easily accessible from a list which simplifies the setup of the selected functions using the Quick Start or Advanced Startup options. As a result, users can run their applications without requiring any specialist knowledge of the operating parameters.
- Introducing Cerberus Portal, cloud-based online fire protection software to monitor fire systems.
- Fire panel data is transferred to the cloud via the Cerberus Connect X300 gateway using encrypted transmission technology and a built-in firewall.
- In case of system incidents, maintenance personnel receives real-time information to react promptly, inform customers and prepare site visits.
Cerberus Portal is the first stepping stone in digitalizing Siemens fire safety products. It represents the initial component of the new Cerberus Cloud Apps offering. This is a clear push towards the current fire protection industry trend: "There is an ongoing disruptive revolution in our Fire Safety industry. That revolution is called digitalization. I am deeply convinced that digitalization will change the way we do business," says Johannes Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
