- Siemens completes sale of mail and
parcel business to Körber
- Further step in simplifying Siemens’
portfolio achieved
The sale of
Siemens Logistics’ mail and parcel business to the Körber Group closed
successfully on July 1. In February 2022, Siemens had announced the
contract signing for the sale of the mail and parcel business to the Körber
Group for €1.15 billion (enterprise value).
Whether for workpiece handling, retooling, postprocessing or parallel
machining, robots and machine tools are working ever more closely together.
Companies in almost all industrial sectors already benefit from robots today.
But integrating robots into automation and exploiting their full potential poses
many challenges. Under the motto "Seamless and fast integration of robot
kinematics into automation", Siemens will be presenting at this year's
automatica (Hall B6, Booth 302) how companies can overcome these
challenges and how the digital and real worlds can be connected through
robotics and automation solutions.
- Siemens expands its portfolio for digital enterprises services
- Senseye is a leading provider of AI-powered solutions for industrial machine performance and reliability
- Predictive Maintenance use case reduces unplanned machine downtime, boosts productivity and increases sustainability
Siemens is further expanding its portfolio in the field of innovative predictive maintenance and asset intelligence with the acquisition of Senseye. The global industrial analytics software company is headquartered in Southampton, in the UK. Senseye is a leading provider of outcome-oriented predictive maintenance solutions for manufacturing and industrial companies. Senseye’s predictive maintenance solution enables a reduction in unplanned machine downtimes by up to 50%, increased maintenance staff productivity by up to 30%.
- Water model demonstrates the use of digital solutions in real scenarios
- Digital twin in use for more efficiency and process optimization
- Siemens Water applications increase optimization and savings potential in water and wastewater plants
Climate change, urbanisation, water pollution and stricter laws and
regulations – water management is facing major challenges. In order to meet the
increasing demand for clean water and to protect water resources sustainably,
innovations, ideas and initiatives are required.
At this year's IFAT, Siemens will be showcasing how digitalization and
automation are helping to meet these requirements and promote and optimize
sustainable water management.
Divestment of Commercial Vehicles
business to Meritor agreed
Purchase price (Enterprise value) of
around €190 million
Transaction expected to close by end
of this calendar year
Further successful milestone of
value creation for Siemens’ Portfolio Companies
Siemens has
agreed to sell its Commercial Vehicles business to Meritor. The move is another
step in the company’s rigorous implementation of its previously announced plan
to sharpen its portfolio as a focused technology company. Commercial Vehicles is
part of Siemens’ Portfolio Companies. The purchase price totals around €190
million, subject to working capital adjustments. Closing is expected, subject
to regulatory approvals, by the end of this calendar year.
- Transmission of Profinet IO packets via a private 5G network
- VXLAN as transmission technology embeds Profinet protocol
- Use of a central control system for multiple mobile participants reduces energy and maintenance costs
Siemens enables the transmission of Profinet IO
via a private 5G network, which allows data to be transmitted in real time for
industrial applications. This is made possible by the VXLAN (Virtual Extensible
LAN) transmission technology in the Scalance 5G routers and security appliances
from Siemens. VXLAN embeds the Profinet IO protocol, which is transmitted in
Layer 2, into Layer 3 packets, which allows them to be transmitted across
network boundaries. Since Layer 2 communication now takes place via 5G, a
central controller can communicate with decentralized I/O modules on mobile
devices such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) via Profinet in a private 5G
network and no local controls have to be used on the individual AGVs. This
saves costs and reduces maintenance. At the Hannover Messe, visitors can see
this innovation at the booth of the organization "5G-ACIA" in Hall 9.
- Predictive Service Analyzer provides information about anomalies in the drive system
- Increased plant availability by up to 30 percent through reduced production downtime
- AI-based algorithm for drive systems
As part of Predictive
Services for Drive Systems, Siemens is expanding its offering at the Hannover
Messe with an edge application. The Predictive Service Analyzer indicates
defects in the drive system at an early stage before they affect the entire
production. As a result, unplanned production downtime can be avoided and
maintenance times can be scheduled in good time, increasing plant availability
by up to 30 percent. By scheduling maintenance and servicing activities based
on actual demand, this increases productivity by up to 10 percent. The Predictive
Service Analyzer's AI-based solution detects early signs of anomalies, such as
those indicating mechanical damage in the motor, including bearing damage,
imbalance, and misalignment, as well as critical operating conditions of the
frequency converter. The app assesses the severity of the defect and the
expected remaining runtime and can thus predict potential future failures.
- Siemens’ trade show motto: “Intelligent intralogistics - experience the flow”
- Digitalization in intralogistics as a decisive competitive advantage
- Highlight: Trade show model of a Dynamic Gapper application demonstrates the benefits possible by connecting the real and digital worlds
Under the motto
"Intelligent intralogistics - experience the flow", Siemens will
present at this year's Logimat in Hall 3, Booth D11, how a comprehensive
digital twin is developed with the Digital Enterprise Portfolio. Simulation based
on a digital twin makes it possible to design applications and processes in
intralogistics in a highly efficient, flexible and intelligent way. Considering
the fact that markets and requirements have changed in the past two years and
the intralogistics industry has to cope with a rapidly growing e-commerce, this
contributes to sustainable competitiveness. Here, increasing inventory turnover
rates with shorter storage periods, small order quantities with high delivery
speeds, rising return rates and short-term increases in delivery quantities
require flexible and scalable intralogistics processes. The new requirements
can be managed with the help of digitalization and automation.
