- Siemens to offer industry’s first integrated multiscale solution for soft matter as part of Simcenter portfolio
- Addition of Culgi technology to enable performance-driven optimization of advanced materials in both discrete and process manufacturing industries
Siemens announced
today that it has signed an agreement to acquire Culgi, a computational
chemistry software company with a focus on multiscale simulations in the
process industries. Culgi will join Siemens Digital Industries Software, where
its solutions will expand simulation capabilities of the
Xcelerator
™
portfolio with quantum and molecular chemistry models that seamlessly couple
with the continuum approach in
Simcenter™ STAR-CCM+™ software. This unique engineering workflow can deliver
significant cost savings and accelerate innovation in the materials and process
industries, increasing the potential for product and process transformations.
- Sale for price of €2.025 billion
- Another step in executing Vision
2020+ strategy for becoming a focused technology company
- New ownership structure offers Flender
optimal growth and development opportunities
- Long-term and reliable commitments agreed
upon for Flender’s employees and German locations
The Managing
Board and Supervisory Board of Siemens AG have approved the sale of Flender GmbH
– a world-leading supplier of mechanical and electrical drive systems – to Carlyle.
The contracting parties signed a corresponding agreement today. The price is €2.025 billion (enterprise value). Siemens
recently gave its energy business independence through a public listing. By
selling Flender, the company is now promptly taking another important step in
the rigorous execution of its Vision 2020+ strategy for enabling Siemens
to become a focused technology company. Carlyle’s plans – following Flender’s successful
reorientation – are to further accelerate its growth and fully develop its
strengths through more independence and greater leeway for decisions. The sale also
makes it possible to forgo the originally planned spin-off and public listing
and thus offers a faster track to clarity for a successful future of Flender. The
transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2021 and is subject to
foreign-investment and antitrust approvals.

- Award for
outstanding interpretive recording of Piano Concerto Opus 25 by Viktor Ullmann
(1898–1944)
- Accolades
for soloist Annika Treutler, the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra and conductor
Stephan Frucht
- The
project aims to keep alive the memory of Viktor Ullmann in the name of the many
artists expelled and murdered under the Nazi regime
- It also
features a groundbreaking digital, multi-perspective VR media installation with
immersive sound engineering as the narrative to Ullmann’s piano concerto
The Siemens Arts
Program has launched an audiovisual art project in partnership with pianist
Annika Treutler and media artist Alexander Stublić. The project is based on
Piano Concerto Opus 25 by the composer Viktor Ullmann, who was murdered at
Auschwitz in 1944. The art project features an elaborate new 3D audio recording
of the concerto alongside a virtual reality media art installation. The music
was recorded at the RBB concert studio in Berlin in partnership with the
Deutschlandfunk Kultur radio network and performed by the Berlin Radio Symphony
Orchestra conducted by Stephan Frucht (Artistic Director of the Siemens Arts
Program).
- Sinumerik One Dynamics - three technology packages to increase the efficiency of CNC users when programming in the shopfloor and executing CAM-generated CNC programs
- Top Surface and Top Speed Plus for excellent motion control and perfect workpiece surfaces
With the software version NCU-SW 6.14, Siemens is launching three powerful technology packages exclusively for the CNC Sinumerik One. The Sinumerik One Dynamics packages are available in three different packages: One Dynamics Operate, One Dynamics 3-axis milling and One Dynamics 5-axis milling. The software functions contained in the technology packages support users from machine-oriented programming in the jobshop to high-performance machining of CAD-CAM-programmed workpieces with high surface quality.
- Improvement of machine tool availability through predictive maintenance with Analyze MyMachine /Condition
- Analyze MyMachine /Condition for Sinumerik Edge creates a mechanical fingerprint of the machine tool
- Condition evaluation, analysis and comparison of all connected machines using the Mindsphere application
Siemens is extending its edge application Analyze MyMachine /Condition with a corresponding Mindsphere application and thus demonstrating how edge computing and cloud computing can be intelligently combined. The Sinumerik Edge Application Analyze MyMachine /Condition, which the company presented last year at the EMO, uses high-frequency CNC data to create the mechanical fingerprint of a machine tool. In the application, users can capture and evaluate various parameters such as stiffness, friction, and backlash in the individual axes with the help of flexibly configurable measurement series. The measurement results can then be visualized and compared with reference data.
- High-frequency radar ensures
reliable readings in challenging environments
- Optional
HMI delivers easy commissioning and diagnostic
support
- Wide
range of liquids and solids applications in practically all market segments
including energy, mining, aggregates and water
Siemens presents two new additions
to the Sitrans LR100 series of 80 GHz radar transmitters. These high-frequency,
compact transmitters deliver robust, reliable measurements even in the most
challenging environments. Both deliver fast and easy setup. Sitrans LR140
features 4-20 mA simplicity and is configured via Bluetooth wireless technology
and the Sitrans mobile IQ App.
