what’s known as edge computing in their production. It allows them to capture
and process data where it’s generated: at the field level in the plant. At this
year's SPS trade show in Nuremberg, the technology company Siemens is expanding
its range of products and services for Industrial Edge at all levels. This will
allow users to connect their information technology (IT) even better with the
operational level (OT). Industrial Edge is also part of the portfolio of the Siemens
Xcelerator open and flexible business platform.

- Festo AX Data Access app available on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace
- Connectivity solution helps to drive productivity and sustainability
- Siemens Industrial Edge Ecosystem continues to grow: More apps from Festo being planned
Siemens Xcelerator, the open digital
business platform, creates an open ecosystem for collaboration between
customers, Siemens, and certified partners, from large technology companies to
independent software developers. Festo and Siemens announced their latest
partnership at this year’s Hannover Messe trade fair. Festo has joined the
Industrial Edge Ecosystem. To kick this off, Festo is offering the Festo AX
Data access app, effective immediately, on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace,
where industrial customers can
purchase numerous apps from different providers. The integrated IoT
solutions based on these apps offer customers greater productivity,
flexibility, and sustainability. Siemens launched the independent, cross-vendor
app store for industrial customers in October 2021. This marketplace is based
on the Siemens Industrial Edge platform. It uses edge computing to process data
right at its source, such as on an industrial PC in machines or plants. Effective
immediately, Festo is offering data-driven AI solutions from the Festo
Automation Experience (Festo AX) portfolio on the marketplace.
- Fast charging in up to 15 minutes
- SICHARGE D chargers ensure seamless charging, high reliability and flexibility
- Dynamic power allocation ensures optimized charging time
Siemens has been
awarded one of the largest single orders for SICHARGE D electric vehicle (EV)
fast chargers globally to date. The order, which comprises of 200 EV fast
chargers and digital services, was made by Astor Enerji, a manufacturer of transformer
and switchgear products to fulfill its plans to build charging stations
throughout Turkey. The company intends to set up chargers every 200 kilometers
along highways all over the country and at a number of shopping malls. By the
end of the year, at least 150 chargers are planned to be in operation, with the
remaining chargers to be delivered by February 2024.
- SINEC Security Inspector: Offering a single user interface for a software framework combining different cybersecurity tools
- Includes market-tested solutions for asset detection and identification, compliance checks, malware scans and vulnerability checks
- Originally developed by and used for Siemens only, now available for any industrial environment
With the evolving convergence of IT and OT networks in industrial manufacturing, cybersecurity concerns have risen likewise. Moreover, legal regulations force industrial companies to enhance cybersecurity in their processes. To address the growing need for industrial cybersecurity solutions, the technology company Siemens has grown its cybersecurity solution portfolio and launched an all-in-one security testing suite for industrial communication networks. The SINEC Security Inspector is a software framework for active one-time scanning that allows individual network devices, network segments or the entire network infrastructure to be scanned during maintenance time windows. It brings together a selection of best-in-class security tools which are integrated into a single user interface.
