Strained
supply chains, geopolitical uncertainties, skilled-labor shortages and climate
change are increasing the pressure to digitalize and automate value chains –
always with the aim of becoming faster, more adaptable and more resilient. For
this reason, Siemens will use “Accelerate Transformation” as its motto for
Hannover Messe 2023, where it will be showcasing how new offerings from its open,
digital business platform, Siemens Xcelerator, enable customers’ digital
transformation in industry and infrastructure faster and at scale. Using the
concrete example of an industrial plant for battery production, Siemens will
show how to rapidly transform production facilities to enable manufacturing
operations that are digital from end to end. In addition, the Siemens Digital
Experience Platform enables virtual visits to the Siemens booth – which, at a
total of 2,800 square meters, is Hannover Messe’s largest.

- Running from Austria to Norway without changing
locomotives
- First locomotive with ETCS control system on
the Öresund Bridge
The Vectron has
received official approval for operating along the Scandinavian Corridor
(AT-DE-DK-SE-NO). This enables both freight and passenger trains to run along
the entire corridor without changing locomotives. The first to take advantage of
this is the Swedish rail operator Snälltåget, which has leased three Vectron
locomotives from European Locomotive Leasing (ELL) for cross-border passenger
service in Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Austria. The Vectron, manufactured in
the Siemens Mobility plant in Munich-Allach, is the first locomotive equipped
with the ETCS train control system that is allowed to operate across the 16-kilometer
long Öresund connection (bridge and tunnel) between Sweden and Denmark. The locomotive
uses the globally proven Trainguard 100/200/300 ETCS on-board unit from Siemens.
- The Simatic S7-1500V is the first virtual controller from Siemens
- Expands the Simatic portfolio and is part of Industrial Operations X
- Ensures greater flexibility and scalability, and simplifies collaboration between IT and OT users
- Enables central management via Industrial Edge and is compatible with Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) portfolio
Siemens will be presenting
a complete virtual programmable logic controller (PLC) for the first time at
Hannover Messe 2023. The Simatic S7-1500V expands the existing Simatic
portfolio and meets special market requirements such as virtual hosting of PLC
computing. In the future, that means the range will include both hardware
controllers and the virtual PLC. The new Simatic S7-1500V is part of Industrial
Operations X. This is a continuously growing, interoperable portfolio geared
towards production engineering, execution, and optimization which Siemens is
adding to its portfolios on Siemens Xcelerator – the open, digital business
platform. With Industrial Operations X, Siemens is consistently integrating IT
and software capabilities into the world of automation, thus speeding up the
transition from automated to highly adaptable production. After all, volatile
markets, the labor shortage, and an increasing scarcity of resources all mean
industrial firms have to structure their automated production more flexibly.
- Sinamics DriveSim Advanced expands the Industrial Operations X offering, part of the Siemens Xcelerator digital business platform
- Sinamics DriveSim Advanced simulation software for virtual engineering and commissioning of drive constellations
- Complete digital twin of Sinamics drives with all parameters and configurations
- Extending digitalization of drive technology continuously enables machine builders to reduce resource consumption and optimize energy efficiency
At this year's Hannover
Messe, Siemens is presenting Sinamics DriveSim Advanced, an extended simulation
software for drive constellations that can be used for both engineering and
commissioning on the basis of a digital twin. Sinamics DriveSim
Advanced thus expands the simulation portfolio for motion control drives at
Siemens, which was introduced to the market in 2021 with Sinamics DriveSim
Basic. At the same time, Sinamics DriveSim Advanced adds to the Industrial Operations X offering. With Industrial Operations X, Siemens offers a continuously growing interoperable portfolio of products and services for production engineering, execution, and optimization. This offering brings more information technology (IT) and software capabilities to automation and production operations, making industrial operations more adaptable. The Industrial Operations X portfolio is characterized by supporting an open ecosystem, being flexible with modular and scalable functions, and enabling interoperable, seamless, holistic production value chains.

the open digital business platform comprising a portfolio of software and
connected hardware, an ecosystem of partners, and a marketplace.
- 8DAB 40 switchgear expands the blue GIS portfolio for primary distribution networks enabling sustainable grid expansion ahead of regulations
- Utilizes climate friendly Clean Air insulating medium consisting of natural-origin gases with GWP <1, F-gas and PFAS free
- Software from Siemens Xcelerator platform and integrated sensors enable asset transparency and condition monitoring
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has cemented its position as a technology leader by expanding
its sustainable blue GIS portfolio with the 8DAB 40. This switchgear for
primary distribution networks up to 40,5 kV uses “Clean Air” as insulating
medium with GWP <1, making it climate friendly and completely free of
fluorinated gases. The 8DAB 40 is to be showcased at the upcoming
Hannover Messe, taking place from April 17th to 21st. Free tickets are available to be part of the Siemens
experience. Siemens Xcelerator is an
open digital business platform that enables customers to accelerate their
digital transformation easier, faster, and at scale.
- Launches SIBushing as smart and intelligent cable connection bushing, together with SICAM FCM plus short circuit and earth fault indicator
- Complements SIPROTEC 5 series with the 7SY82 universal protection device with Low Power Instrument Transformer (LPIT) inputs
- Designed with sustainability at their core, the portfolio additions offer an intelligent solution for switchgear of the future
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has expanded its industry-leading medium voltage portfolio with
a sustainable and intelligent solution that paves the way for smart switchgear
of the future. Due to its conformity with the
instrument transformer standard IEC 61869, the SIBushing can be connected to the SICAM FCM plus (Feeder Condition
Monitor), a multi-functional, short-circuit and earth-fault indicator which
uses detection algorithms to indicate the direction of the cable fault. Applicable
for medium voltage distribution systems up to 36kV, the SICAM FCM plus with
SIBushing delivers unrivaled transparency and high-precision measurement of
distribution systems, resulting also in the consumption of significantly less
power, compared to conventional instrument transformer technologies.

- Traditional agriculture is coming under increasing pressure from climate change: Today indoor farming offers a resource-conserving alternative
- Siemens supplies automation and digitalization technologies to make indoor farming safer and more productive
- By working with Siemens, indoor farming company 80 Acres Farms can run farms on 100 percent renewable energy, yield 300 times more than conventional farmland, and use 95 percent less water
Growing lettuce in the
desert using environmentally friendly methods? Yes, it’s possible. Looking
ahead, it’s important to start developing new concepts for agriculture. By
2050, 10 billion people are expected to live on our planet, and they’ll all
want to be fed. But new agricultural land is becoming scarce, and more and more
farmers are struggling with water shortages. Indoor farming is therefore an
intelligent solution for reliably and energy-efficiently creating perfect
growing conditions for plants. This will help meet the growing challenges of
food supply and food security.
