- Siemens and Continental Tires sign strategic supplier agreement
- Machine standards expected to maximize interoperability and flexibility
- Siemens to supply automation and drive technology, software, industrial communication, and training
Continental’s tire division and Siemens have signed a
strategic supplier agreement. As Siemens announces on the sidelines of the Tire
Expo trade fair in Hannover (Germany), the company will supply automation and
drive technology for Continental’s tire factories worldwide in its capacity as
a preferred supplier. The aim of the cooperation is to further optimize
Continental's global tire production with innovative control and automation
technology. As part of the agreement, standards will be established which will
help Continental make its production machinery even more efficient throughout
their lifecycles.
- 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.

- Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli uses Siemens Xcelerator as a Service to accelerate development of the ultimate AC75 America’s Cup yacht
- Cloud-based collaboration is used to manage increased design complexity and improve manufacturing repeatability, in and out of season
- The team leverage the power of high-performance computing (HPC) clusters, running thousands of simulations per day to explore new designs
Siemens Digital Industries Software
announced today that the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli America's Cup team is using the
Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services to design, simulate and
optimize its racing yacht for the forthcoming America’s Cup challenge (37th
America’s Cup).
- Design freedom in additive manufacturing reduces carbon footprint of gripper solutions in the automotive sector by around 80 percent
- Decentralized production and optimized factory planning using digital twins reduce CO2 emissions during production and transport
- 3D printing with biodegradable materials reduces pollution
At this year's Formnext, the international trade fair for additive manufacturing, Siemens is demonstrating what sustainable additive manufacturing looks like. Using several use cases, the technology company shows how resources, carbon footprint and environmental impact can be reduced. For this purpose, the entire value chain of a product must be considered transparently. Then climate targets can be achieved, and an environmentally friendly industry can be designed.
- Siemens and GENERA join forces to industrialize the AM technology Digital Light Processing (DLP) from single machines to factory solutions
- Siemens’ portfolio of IoT-enabled hardware, software and digital services will further propel GENERA’s fully automated clean DLP technology
GENERA, a global
leader in highly automated resin based additive manufacturing technologies, and
Siemens are cooperating in a comprehensive partnership. The aim is to
accelerate the adoption of the Digital Light Processing Technology for
large-scale production of industrial applications. The sweeping collaboration
will touch many aspects of GENERA`s business and is going to benefit end-users
in a variety of ways.
- Higher engineering efficiency thanks to more functionalities for team collaboration
- IT/OT integration thanks to extension with the IT-oriented approach of Simatic Automation Xpansion (Simatic AX)
- Advanced engineering of kinematics (5D/6D)
- Maximum availability in through R1 redundancy
At the SPS trade fair
in Nuremberg from November 8 to 10, Siemens will present Version 18 of its
engineering framework TIA Portal (Totally Integration Automation Portal). If
industrial companies are to shorten their time-to-market, counteract the lack
of skilled workers, and remain competitive, they need efficient automation
engineering that can be quickly modified to meet new requirements. That’s why
the new version of the TIA Portal once again boosts engineering efficiency and
offers optimized functionalities for multi-user engineering. This means that
users can now work in teams and in parallel on projects and build and manage
shared libraries. Access rights can be assigned either individually or
group-specifically, which makes collaboration more flexible.
- More openness: Digital business platform Siemens Xcelerator accelerates digital transformation
- More IT/OT integration: New management system for Siemens Industrial Edge
- More sustainability: Application
Analyze MyDrives Edge creates Transparency of energy consumption of drive systems
At the
Smart Production Solutions (SPS) fair in Nuremberg, Germany, November. 8-10,
Siemens will be presenting technical innovations and practical examples for
greater sustainability in production. Easier, more open, more flexible and more
sustainable production and planning processes – all of this is achieved through
end-to-end automation and digitization to become a digital enterprise.
