- Design freedom in additive manufacturing reduces carbon footprint of gripper solutions in the automotive sector by around 80 percent
- Decentralized production and optimized factory planning using digital twins reduce CO2 emissions during production and transport
- 3D printing with biodegradable materials reduces pollution
At this year's Formnext, the international trade fair for additive manufacturing, Siemens is demonstrating what sustainable additive manufacturing looks like. Using several use cases, the technology company shows how resources, carbon footprint and environmental impact can be reduced. For this purpose, the entire value chain of a product must be considered transparently. Then climate targets can be achieved, and an environmentally friendly industry can be designed.
- Siemens and GENERA join forces to industrialize the AM technology Digital Light Processing (DLP) from single machines to factory solutions
- Siemens’ portfolio of IoT-enabled hardware, software and digital services will further propel GENERA’s fully automated clean DLP technology
GENERA, a global
leader in highly automated resin based additive manufacturing technologies, and
Siemens are cooperating in a comprehensive partnership. The aim is to
accelerate the adoption of the Digital Light Processing Technology for
large-scale production of industrial applications. The sweeping collaboration
will touch many aspects of GENERA`s business and is going to benefit end-users
in a variety of ways.
Microsoft has joined the Charter of Trust
(CoT) cybersecurity initiative as of November 10, 2022. As a CoT member, Microsoft
plans to contribute its cybersecurity expertise in developing and promoting
awareness of robust security principles for a secure digital world. With the addition
of Microsoft, the Charter of Trust initiative has grown to 18 members. Siemens
and eight partners from the industrial sector founded this initiative in 2018
to drive advances in cybersecurity across industries and at a global level.
- Hamburger
Hochbahn and Siemens Mobility are building the train control system of tomorrow
for Hamburg’s U2 and U4 lines
- Significant
increase in capacity: trains will be able to run at 100-second intervals
Between now and 2030, a state-of-the-art digital train
control system from Siemens Mobility will be installed as an upgrade to the
conventional train control system used by operator Hamburger Hochbahn
(HOCHBAHN) on its U2 and U4 subway lines. The new technology, known as CBTC
(communication-based train control), will allow trains to run at shorter
intervals of only 100 seconds, which will put significantly more trains on the
track in the future, thereby increasing capacity. In addition, CBTC also
improves punctuality, reliability, and energy consumption.
- Higher engineering efficiency thanks to more functionalities for team collaboration
- IT/OT integration thanks to extension with the IT-oriented approach of Simatic Automation Xpansion (Simatic AX)
- Advanced engineering of kinematics (5D/6D)
- Maximum availability in through R1 redundancy
At the SPS trade fair
in Nuremberg from November 8 to 10, Siemens will present Version 18 of its
engineering framework TIA Portal (Totally Integration Automation Portal). If
industrial companies are to shorten their time-to-market, counteract the lack
of skilled workers, and remain competitive, they need efficient automation
engineering that can be quickly modified to meet new requirements. That’s why
the new version of the TIA Portal once again boosts engineering efficiency and
offers optimized functionalities for multi-user engineering. This means that
users can now work in teams and in parallel on projects and build and manage
shared libraries. Access rights can be assigned either individually or
group-specifically, which makes collaboration more flexible.
- More openness: Digital business platform Siemens Xcelerator accelerates digital transformation
- More IT/OT integration: New management system for Siemens Industrial Edge
- More sustainability: Application
Analyze MyDrives Edge creates Transparency of energy consumption of drive systems
At the
Smart Production Solutions (SPS) fair in Nuremberg, Germany, November. 8-10,
Siemens will be presenting technical innovations and practical examples for
greater sustainability in production. Easier, more open, more flexible and more
sustainable production and planning processes – all of this is achieved through
end-to-end automation and digitization to become a digital enterprise.
Under the motto
"Make it real", Siemens will be
presenting at SPS in Nuremberg on how the real and digital world can be
combined so that companies become Digital Enterprises. Experience the Siemens solutions and experts
live at the SPS booth (Hall 11) in Nuremberg and
learn more about how they support costumers in the digital transformation.
Travel time of eight minutes between Terminals 1 and 3 – Capacity for
4,000 passengers per hour and direction – Scheduled to begin operation with
the opening of Terminal 3 – First test trips in 2023
Fraport AG, operator of the Frankfurt Airport, has commissioned Siemens, lead in a consortium with Max Bögl Group and Keolis Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, to deliver a fully automated Airval people mover. The Airval will connect the Terminal 2 with the new Terminal 3 and the Station at Terminal 1. The line will be 5.6 kilometers long, and have two tracks and three stations. Siemens will deliver 12 fully automated two-car trains equipped with GoA4 Communication Based Train Control Trainguard MT CBTC, the trackwork equipment, the station platform doors, communication system, depot equipment and the power supply system. In addition, Siemens will take over the operation and maintenance of the system for five years with an option to extend service for another five years. The Airval system will be designed and developed at Siemens' Val world center of competence in Toulouse, France. The fully automated people mover is scheduled to begin service at the Frankfurt Airport in 2023.
- Industrial Edge Management System (IEM V2.0) for Kubernetes clusters addresses IT users in production and saves IT resources, energy and costs
- Industrial Edge Hub provides greater license management visibility
- New virtual edge device and new Simatic IPC edge devices offer more flexibility when implementing IIoT applications
Siemens is
launching its new Industrial Edge Management System, an optimized license
management solution as well as new devices and apps at the SPS trade fair in
Nuremberg, Germany from November 8 to 10, 2022. As part of the company’s
continuous development of its Industrial Edge capabilities, these solutions
bring Operational technology (OT) and IT closer together in industrial
production, enabling a seamless flow of data from the field level to the cloud.
