- First infrastructure for electric trucks on a German autobahn
- Sustainable freight transport by cutting energy consumption in half
- Commissioning at end of 2018
Siemens has been commissioned by the German state of Hesse to build an overhead contact line for electrified freight transport on a ten-kilometer stretch of autobahn. The line will supply electricity for the electric drive of a hybrid truck. Siemens originally presented its innovative "eHighway" concept in 2012. The system will be installed on the A5 federal autobahn between the Zeppelinheim/Cargo City Süd interchange at the Frankfurt Airport and the Darmstadt/Weiterstadt interchange.
- New version of Simatic PDM (Process Device Manager) Maintenance Station V2.0
- Further development based on Namur recommendations NE 105, NE 107 and NE 129
- Data collector for cyclic transfer of status data to cloud based systems
- Use of existing Simatic automation system communication structure
- Application independently of the automation and control system used
With its Simatic PDM Maintenance Station V2.0, Siemens is providing the ideal solution for efficient monitoring of intelligent field device statuses independently of the automation and control system used. Their integration is based on DD (Device Description)/EDD (Electronic Device Description) technology. Diagnostic, parameterization and status data from the field devices is read out cyclically and depicted in a clearly arranged format. The collected data can also be transferred using an export function for further processing in enterprise asset management or cloud-based condition monitoring systems. Version 2.0 has been further developed to comply with Namur recommendations NE 105, NE 107 and NE 129.

- Highly flexible scope for adjustment to specific applications
- 40 years of trouble-free operation due to high-quality, robust design
- Outstanding efficiency of up to 98.4 percent
- Reduced project execution times due to short delivery periods and simple, modular configuration
As part of its extensive portfolio of generators serving the world market, the Sigentics M from Siemens comes in shaft heights of 710 and 800 and provides the ideal solution no matter what the application. Not only does the generator itself offer outstanding flexibility in terms of electric parameters, cooling method and design to precisely suit the relevant application, but this adaptability also extends to the relevant documentation. With an efficiency level of up to 98.4 percent, the Sigentics M provides the greatest possible energy yield and so makes a major contribution to sustainability. Extremely short delivery periods, a simple modular configuration, simplified transport logistics and plant integration due to minimized dimensions and weights all help to speed up project execution time. With its high-quality, robust design, the industrial generator offers an impressive service life of over 40 years. Because it complies with international, national and industry-specific certification requirements, the Sigentics M qualifies for use anywhere around the world. Its fields of application range from power generation through marine engineering to various uses in the oil and gas industry.
- Siemens is using Digital Enterprise to drive forward the digitalization of its industrial business
- Electric motor plant in Bad Neustadt an der Saale is being developed as a showcase factory for digital applications in metalworking
- "Arena of Digitalization" presents digitalization solutions from the plant in Bad Neustadt an der Saale in an exhibition space covering over 800 square meters
- "Arena of Digitalization" is a clear commitment to the Bad Neustadt an der Saale location
Siemens is one of the world's leading providers of automation, control and electric drive technology for industry. Electric motors for industrial use have been manufactured at the Siemens site in Bad Neustadt an der Saale for 80 years. Digitalization is playing an increasingly important role at this site. For this reason, the plant is going to be developed as a showcase factory for digitalization in metalworking. In the new "Arena of Digitalization" covering an area of more than 800 square meters, Siemens is now showing customers and partners how digitalization is used in metalworking and motor production and what results can be achieved with it. In addition, using its own development and the way production has grown over many years as an example, the showcase factory demonstrates how digitalization already offers advantages in terms of productivity and efficiency for the discrete manufacturing industry.

- New Simotion Motion Control functions for higher winding quality, machine speed and process reliability
- Prismatic winding compensates for path length differences on non-circular winding bodies
- Learning Error Compensation (LECo) compensates for cyclic disturbance variables in the process
Siemens has expanded its Simotion Motion Control solutions for converting machines to include prismatic winding and Learning Error Compensation (LECo). Prismatic winding compensates for path length differences on non-circular winding bodies. The advantages are higher winding quality, machine speed and process reliability. The new self-learning LECo function compensates for periodic disturbance variables in the process, and quickly restores the process and product quality. Deviations, such as position errors of a process axis triggered by mechanical shock, are already largely compensated for after just one cycle. The new Simotion applications are used, for example, in the manufacture of battery electrodes as well as in the processing of corrugated cardboard or material webs.
