- Siemens drives forward digital transformation in the machine tool industry with a brand new Sinumerik generation
- Sinumerik ONE enables seamless interaction between virtual and real world for significantly increased productivity in the production and use of machine tools
- Scalable CNC-portfolio for highest performance requirements and optimum surface quality
With Sinumerik ONE, the first digital native CNC, Siemens is driving forward digital transformation in the machine tool industry. The new controller works with software to create the machine controller and associated digital twin from one engineering system and thus contributes to the seamless integration of hardware and software. Thanks to its seamless interaction between virtual and real world as well as high-performance hardware, Sinumerik ONE is setting new standards in terms of productivity, performance and digitalization. It is the future-proof CNC for machine tools in the increasingly digital world of manufacturing. Both machine manufacturers and machine operators benefit from the universal digital twin for the product, production and performance.
- 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.
- 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 research from Siemens Financial services explains how manufacturers are in a race against time to gain competitive advantage from Industry 4.0 investment, before the “tipping point” of majority adoption. A must-read for future focused manufacturing financial managers, the Whitepaper explains how Finance 4.0 solutions are providing practical methods of helping companies to urgently invest in Industry 4.0 and gain early mover advantage.
- Simatic PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator V3.0 plant and automation engineering software closes the gap between plant engineering and the process control system
- More powerful, more open version
- Increased system openness based on GSDML and NE150 standards
- Seamless engineering through the integration of various Simatic components
Siemens has extended its engineering software for planners and automation engineers, Simatic PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator 3.0 (PAA), to include new functions for even more flexible and integrated automation engineering. With this latest software version, Simatic PCS 7 automation projects can be configured even more easily and efficiently. With Version 3, the PAA software closes the gap between plant engineering and the process control system. The entire plant structure including measuring point data can be generated easily and synchronized between the systems. Automation engineers are supported in all phases from tender preparation (such as bills of material), automatically generated process control data from electrical engineering in the Siemens Simatic PCS 7 process control system (including controlled mass data engineering), to as-is documentation of the process automation.
- New Edge functionality provides better and more secure access to remote data
- Simplified integration of engineering data
- HTML5-based, new web browser client
- Server virtualization support increases efficiency and performance
Siemens launches the new release V 6.0 of their flagship XHQ Operations Intelligence with enhanced performance while increasing the overall usability at the same time. With the new version, users benefit from numerous enhancements such as edge functionality. With an end-to-end secured site integration and light weight installation, this provides easy and secure access to remote/distributed data from all production (operation) and enterprise levels. The new version also enables enhanced operations by simplifying the integration of engineering data: interfaces with Siemens or third party solutions, such as Comos, Comos Walkinside, PlantSight, Teamcenter and more, are now improved and easily integrated into the system. In addition, the new HTML5-based web browser client is compatible with existing solutions. Version 6.0 no longer requires a Java browser plug-in (Java applet) for the full desktop environment, i.e. can run as a HTML5 compatible browser solution. Server virtualization support is available, which enables multiple operating systems to run on a single physical server. This increases business efficiency and overall performance.
