- Through its strategic partnership with Identify3D, Siemens is offering new ways of protecting the manufacturing processes
- Data encrypted in NX – decrypted in SINUMERIK 840D sl
- Stringent security solution along the digital value chain
- The new security solution will be presented at the EMO 2017 trade fair in Hannover
Siemens is offering new, comprehensive possibilities for data protection in the field of digitalization when third-party service providers are involved in the manufacturing process. With a view of data security licensing and encryption, the corporation has entered into a strategic partnership with Identify3D (ID3D). ID3D has integrated the solutions for security and traceability of digital production processes into the Sinumerik and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) portfolio of Siemens. Data encryption, including time stamp, is already included in the 3D CAM (computer aided manufacturing) software NX. Decryption takes place on the SINUMERIK 840D sl. Through the cooperation with Identify3D, Siemens has secured the integrity of all process data along the entire value chain with an end-to-end security solutions. Siemens and Indentify3D will present the software integration at the EMO 2017 in Hannover. With the integration of these new solutions into the Siemens portfolio, customers will be able to protect their intellectual property, have their products produced according to the individually defined parameters, and comprehensively track the produced parts.
- Digitalization check: transparency of the digitalization capability of the machine park
- Virtual commissioning for OEM: faster commissioning and shorter time-to-market for machines
- Retrofit services for machine tools: economical retrofit measures instead of new investment
At the EMO 2017 in Hannover, Siemens is exhibiting new and expanded digital and classic Services for the machine tool industry – with new capabilities for identifying and exploiting additional productivity potential for machine tools. Machine tool operating companies use the new Digitalization Check as a Service from the portfolio of Manufacturing IT Services to create transparency of the digitalization capability of the machine park. With Virtual Commissioning as a Service, machine manufacturers (OEMs) use a virtual twin to significantly speed up both commissioning and time-to-market.
- Siemens enters into cooperation with Italian robot manufacturer COMAU
- Sinumerik Run MyRobot /DirectControl enables complete integration of robot kinematics into the CNC
- Sinumerik RunMyRobot /DirectControl offers the benefit of a single controller for machine tool and robot
- Increased productivity, flexibility, dynamic response, and precision
Siemens has entered into a cooperative arrangement with the Italian robot manufacturer COMAU and will be unveiling the jointly engineered product Sinumerik Run MyRobot /DirectControl at the EMO 2017 in Hanover. This development enables the robot kinematics to be fully integrated into a CNC system. As a result, the Sinumerik controls the articulated robot arm directly with the basis of complex algorithms without the need for a separate robot controller. The Sinumerik Run MyRobot /DirectControl solution allows the CNC to control both the robot arm drive system andcontains safety functions typically performed by the robot controller. In addition, the robot is programmed solely using Sinumerik.
- Kicked off in 1977 with a patent application
- Used in several hundreds of breweries today
- Extended functions enable sustained cost reduction and improve competitiveness
At this year's Drinktec, "Braumat", the Siemens process automation system for breweries is celebrating a jubilee: It has been on the market for 40 years. Initial automation solutions based on electronic controls came into being since the 1970s. The patent application for the process control system tailored to meet the specific needs of the brewery industry followed in 1977. Ever since, more than 500 breweries worldwide have been using the Braumat to produce their beer in a safe and reliable process, always maintaining a consistently high product quality. On the occasion of the jubilee celebrated at the trade fair, Siemens will be showcasing such extended functions as what is called the Replay Mode. This fully graphical mode analyzes and visualizes past production processes helping breweries to sustainably cut their costs and improve their competitiveness.
- First application starting 2020 in 24 DB-Regio Mireo trains
- New transformer type Tractronic® Thinity lighter and more efficient than existing models
- Rugged design allows flexible installation
Siemens will use the new transformer type Tractronic® Thinity for the first time in 24 articulated trains based on the Mireo train platform. The railway transformer is a key component since it feeds the train's power supply and thus guarantees interference-free rail traffic. Thanks to the new design, the transformer is considerably lighter and more efficient than existing models with the same rating. It also offers maximum flexibility for all installation situations with its intelligent construction. Starting 2020, the 24 Mireo trains will operate regional rail services (Regionalbahn RB) on the Offenburg – Freiburg – Basel/Neuchâtel (Switzerland) line, and on Sundays in the Kaiserstuhl from Freiburg to Endingen/Breisach. They will cut travel time for this route by 30 minutes.
"Discover the value of the Digital Enterprise for the beverage industry" was the Siemens motto for the Drinktec 2017, the leading international trade fair for the beverage industry. At the 240 square-meter booth in hall A3, Siemens showcased how industrial companies of every size can benefit from the digital transformation – from the digital value chain in the engineering process to the integration of machines into the line.
