- ETH Zurich runs unique research project on automation and energy supply for buildings in different climate zones
- Project includes one-of-a-kind artificial sun
- Siemens supplies digital building technologies, part of Siemens Xcelerator, for lab
ETH Zurich,
one of the world’s most renowned universities, has just opened a unique
research facility: the Zero Carbon Building Systems (ZCBS) Lab. It allows research
into the behavior of building components and systems in different climate
zones. The new building, located on the university campus in Zurich, comprises
two floors with different test cells, climate chambers, and experimentation
rooms. As part of its existing industrial partnership with ETH Zurich, Siemens
has equipped the new research facility with state-of-the-art digital building technologies,
including for building operations and management. The technologies are part of
the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.
- The two companies are developing a new systems engineering and asset management combined software solution to support traceability and sustainable product development – linking domains including mechanical, electronics, electrical and software engineering
Siemens Digital
Industries Software and IBM (NYSE:IBM) today
announced they are expanding their long-term partnership by collaborating to
develop a combined software solution integrating their respective offerings for systems
engineering, service lifecycle management and asset
management.
- Siemens, Bausch+Ströbel, Bosch Rexroth, CADENAS, Festo, HARTING, SICK, Phoenix Contact, and WAGO use the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) to exchange digital twins in engineering
- Defined AAS standard is crucial for the interoperable and efficient exchange of digital twin data
- At Hannover Messe, partners demonstrate a specific application with machinery manufacturer Bausch+Ströbel
- Collaboration in an open ecosystem from component manufacturer to the customer
At Hannover Messe 2023, Siemens, Bausch+Ströbel,
Bosch Rexroth, CADENAS, Festo, HARTING, SICK, Phoenix Contact, and WAGO jointly
demonstrate how the Asset Administration Shell standard can be implemented in
practice. The companies have exchanged digital twin data according to the AAS
standard and evaluated the added value based on a specific application with
machinery manufacturer Bausch+Ströbel. In doing so, the nine partners thus made
the interoperable digital twin based on an Asset Administration Shell from the
component manufacturer to the customer possible for the first time.
- Samotics joins Siemens Xcelerator partner ecosystem with its leading monitoring system for AC motors and rotating equipment based on electrical signature analysis (ESA) technology
- ESA technology has been integrated into NXpower Monitor, delivering asset health and energy efficiency insights for electric-driven equipment
- ESA will extend NXpower Monitor’s capabilities to deliver an end-to-end asset monitoring offering for the entire energy distribution system
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has integrated electrical signature analysis (ESA) from Samotics
into NXpower Monitor, its industry-leading digital caretaker for electrical
networks. Using ESA and machine learning, Samotics provides real-time
actionable insights to help global industrial companies eliminate industrial
energy waste and unplanned downtime. This new capability leverages the
ecosystem of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform that enables
customers to accelerate their digital transformation easier, faster, and at
scale.
- Siemens and FREYR Battery (“FREYR”) to cooperate on large-scale and sustainable battery production as part of Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform
- FREYR will use the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, including Siemens Industrial Operations X software and hardware to design and operate the planned gigafactories in Norway and the U.S.
- Siemens, NVIDIA, and AWS create immersive industrial metaverse experience of FREYR gigafactory by combining real and digital worlds
Siemens and FREYR announced a strategic partnership today
at Hannover Messe. Siemens will become FREYR’s preferred supplier in automation

its plant and energy efficiency.
- 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.
