- 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.
- 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.
- RUGGEDCOM RST2428P: a secure, high-port density advanced switching platform with Power-over-Ethernet
- Enables secure communications for high-speed, real-time control applications and SCADA systems in harsh environments
- Emphasis on high-bandwidth, low latency communications and cybersecurity features
As critical infrastructure networks are digitalizing
rapidly, OT networks must handle large data volumes from increasing IoT devices
in the field and connect intelligent electronic devices to IT systems securely.
To this end, Siemens has launched the RUGGEDCOM RST2428P, an advanced multilayer
Ethernet switching platform, designed to provide secure and error-free communications
for networks in harsh environments like electric power, transportation, or oil
and gas plants.
- Infrastructure for private industrial 5G networks with a focus on automation applications
- The solution is already in use at Siemens plants and pilot customers like Salzgitter AG
- 5G is crucial for mobile robots, autonomous logistics, driverless transport systems, and edge devices
For the first time, the technology company Siemens is launching a private infrastructure developed in-house for the 5G mobile communications standard. The solution enables industrial companies to build their own local 5G networks that will provide optimal support for automation applications. "By building their own 5G networks, industrial companies are launching the next stage of connected production," says Axel Lorenz, CEO of Process Automation at Siemens. "5G is crucial for applications like mobile robots, autonomous logistics, and driverless transport systems in factories. Siemens' private 5G infrastructure also gives users sole control over the data in their 5G network at all times, and they can custom-configure the network for their applications."
- Digital twin of the machine, the workpiece, and the controller available in an end-to-end offering on Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace
- Siemens underscores its technology leadership in combining the real world with the digital world
- Less scrap and avoidance of machine damage
- Up to 40 percent faster production ramp-up of the machine
The technology company
Siemens, an innovation leader in automation and digitalization, and DMG MORI, a
leading global supplier of cutting-edge machine tools for turning, milling, and
grinding as well as for additive manufacturing, are presenting the first end-to-end
digital twin for machine tool machining on Siemens Xcelerator. Based on the
Digital Native CNC Sinumerik One, the offering includes the digital twin of the
controller, the customer-specific DMG MORI machine tool, and the workpiece and

- Sinumerik Ctrl-E in V6.22 with new functions for evaluating and reducing energy consumption
- Flexible HMI portfolio for multifunctional machine tools
- Perfect compatibility in use and programming for easy integration into the existing machine fleet
At this year's EMO, Siemens is expanding its range of products and services with the "Digital Native" CNC Sinumerik One. The new CNC generation from Siemens, which was launched on the market in 2019, comes with numerous innovations in software and hardware. With the new Sinumerik software version V6.22, there are new technology functions for the Sinumerik One that increase transparency in the machine, simplify operation, reduce machine wear, and increase performance. This leads to the optimal use of available resources, for example by reducing scrap and repairs. It also helps to increase machine productivity by minimizing idle and production times, for example.
- CNC digitalization portfolio Machinum is integral part of Siemens Xcelerator with focus on parts manufacturing
- Analyze and optimize machine tools with Machinum
- Make digital transformation easier, faster and scalable with Siemens Xcelerator
Under the motto "Accelerate transformation for a sustainable tomorrow", Siemens will
be presenting at this year's EMO how companies in the machine tool industry can meet
energy efficiency and sustainability requirements while at the same time meeting the
demand for high-quality, affordable, and individualized products.
- In a pilot project, Siemens is combining its Sigreen emissions management software with BayWa Carbon Connect, BayWa’s software for emissions offsetting
- The real carbon footprint of products is made transparent across the supply chain, from emission generation and reduction to offsetting
- In an initial use case, Siemens is offsetting the carbon emissions of selected products of the Simatic S7-1500 family at the Electronics Works Amberg for the duration of the project
The technology company Siemens and BayWa AG are working together to advance CO2-optimized industrial production. As part of a pilot project, the two companies are combining Sigreen, Siemens’ software for emissions management, with BayWa Carbon Connect, BayWa’s software for emissions offsetting.
