Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, United Kingdom. At the three-day competition, Shields

Orchestra took place for the first time in 2020 and was held for the second

- Unused field data becomes accessible to IT systems with Field Data Enablement (FDE) – without interrupting production or influencing the control system
- No additional sensors or programming are required
- Available as a software and/or hardware solution
In the age of digitalization, data is the new gold. With its new Field
Data Enablement Portfolio, Siemens is now making unused field data accessible
to IT and thus making manufacturing companies more efficient and future-proof.
In many production plants, there’s still lots of hidden potential for
optimization at the field level, for example in automating machines and
systems. Currently only about 20 percent of the total volume of data is used.
Until now, data has been provided to IT systems by the controller, which sends
data from the shop floor to edge or cloud systems. This means data that’s not
available in the controller remains unavailable to IT, such as information
about commissioning. Field Data Enablement now enables the convergence of IT
and OT data with no need to reprogram the controller. This makes OT data
accessible to IT systems that would otherwise remain unused or could only be accessed
with great time and effort and with disruptions in running production plants.

- First digital bond on a public blockchain in accordance with Germany’s Electronic Securities Act (eWpG)
- Siemens is a pioneer in the ongoing digital transformation of capital and securities markets
- The bond has a volume of €60 million and maturity of one year
- Bond sold directly to investors
- Classic payment via bank account
Siemens is one of the first
companies in Germany to issue a digital bond, in accordance with Germany’s
Electronic Securities Act (Gesetz über elektronische Wertpapiere, eWpG).
Worth 60 million, it has a maturity of one year and is underpinned by a public
blockchain. Issuing the bond on a blockchain offers a number of benefits
compared to previous processes. For instance, it makes paper-based global
certificates and central clearing unnecessary. What’s more, the bond can be
sold directly to investors without needing a bank to function as an
intermediary.

€8.70 to €9.20) in fiscal 2023.
