- Slogan: "Digitalization in Machine Tool Manufacturing – Thinking further!"
- New Sinumerik ONE controller generation as a digital native
- Software portfolio for workpiece quality extended to include another Edge app
Under the slogan "Digitalization in Machine Tool Manufacturing – Thinking further!", Siemens is presenting numerous extensions to its Digital Enterprise portfolio for the machine tool industry in around 1700 square meters at EMO in Hanover in Hall 9, Booth H50. The company has already integrated future technologies in its portfolio, such as its new machine tool controller specifically designed for digitalization, Edge and cloud computing, artificial intelligence and additive manufacturing, and is leading the machine tool world to the next level of digital transformation. "With our unique range of digitalization solutions, we are paving the way for the future of the machine tool industry and helping our customers, machine builders and machine users, to find new and more comprehensive ways of using rapidly growing data volumes to increase their productivity, quality and competitive edge", explains Dr. Wolfgang Heuring, CEO of Business Unit Motion Control. The basis for innovative technologies is the availability and transparency of data which can be used to create digital twins – of the product, production and performance – and which map and link together all the steps of industrial manufacturing processes in a virtual environment. "The key is to use this data innovatively and to convert it into valuable knowledge in order to improve performance and flexibility and reduce the time to market", Heuring continues.
At this year's "The smarter E-Europe," Siemens is demonstrating its role in shaping an increasingly decentralized energy landscape. Siemens will show how the digitalization of renewable energy generation, storage and distribution positively impact the energy transition and sustainability goals.
- New firmware adds Fast PTI mode for precise positioning at even higher speeds
- Fast PTI mode comes with auto-tuning function
- Firmware update opens up new applications for Sinamics V90
New functions are being added to the proven Sinamics V90 servo drive system with the V1.11 version of the Sinamics firmware. The Fast PTI mode is now available for the drive system, increasing Pulse Train Input (PTI) performance by 70 percent. This improves the reaction time from the Pulse Train Input command to the actuation of the motor. The improved reaction time opens up new application areas for the Sinamics V90 which require higher dynamic performance such as high speed labeling as well as in the field of LED production (LED pick & place).
- New IP routers and IP interfaces ensure secure data and access-proof KNX communication over IP
- KNX IP Secure devices meet the highest security requirements in smart buildings
- More flexibility in power supply minimizes KNX bus current consumption
Siemens Smart Infrastructure expands the proven Gamma instabus building system with new IP routers and IP interfaces that support the latest KNX IP Secure standard. This extension of the KNXnet/IP protocol enables fully encrypted transmission of data telegrams, thus ensuring secure data- and access-proof communication between KNX IP routers within a single network.
- Spectrum Power ADMS to provide reliable energy supply for 1.5 million people
- One multi-site system to handle all voltage levels
Hafslund Nett, Norway's largest grid company has contracted Siemens to supply a new Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) for the operation of the regional power grid in Akershus, Oslo and Østfold. The fully integrated grid operating center will enable monitoring and control of the complete power grid covering all (high-, medium-, low-) voltage levels. At the same time, it will allow easy integration of third-party IT/OT systems, such as customer information systems, workforce management or geographical information systems. The project is expected to be operational at the beginning of 2022.
- New rail-mounted devices added to Gamma instabus product line
- New switch actuators with load current detection, new switching/dimming actuators and new sun protection actuators
- Powerful and universal applications across all devices, short installation times, low maintenance costs
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is expanding its Gamma instabus KNX-based product line with new switch actuators with load current detection, new switching/dimming actuators and new sun protection actuators. The new actuators are designed for residential and commercial buildings and provide reliable switching and monitoring of loads, switching and dimming of fluorescent lamps via 1 to 10 Volt control outputs, and control of alternating current motors for sunshades and ventilation valves.
- Safer and more efficient: Catania Airport is updated with integrated building automation by Siemens
- More reliable and accurate fire detection using Sinteso connected to the Desigo CC building management software
- Cloud-based Navigator software to optimize energy consumption
With almost ten million passengers in 2018, Catania Airport is continuing to grow, solidifying its number one position in southern Italy. This makes the hub an increasingly important strategic part of the Mediterranean aviation network. As a result, however, it faces greater security and energy efficiency challenges. This is the context in which the Sicilian airport made the decision to entrust Siemens with its integrated building automation project, intended to increase security levels and monitor overall energy consumption at the hub.
