- Transmission of Profinet IO packets via a private 5G network
- VXLAN as transmission technology embeds Profinet protocol
- Use of a central control system for multiple mobile participants reduces energy and maintenance costs
Siemens enables the transmission of Profinet IO
via a private 5G network, which allows data to be transmitted in real time for
industrial applications. This is made possible by the VXLAN (Virtual Extensible
LAN) transmission technology in the Scalance 5G routers and security appliances
from Siemens. VXLAN embeds the Profinet IO protocol, which is transmitted in
Layer 2, into Layer 3 packets, which allows them to be transmitted across
network boundaries. Since Layer 2 communication now takes place via 5G, a
central controller can communicate with decentralized I/O modules on mobile
devices such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) via Profinet in a private 5G
network and no local controls have to be used on the individual AGVs. This
saves costs and reduces maintenance. At the Hannover Messe, visitors can see
this innovation at the booth of the organization "5G-ACIA" in Hall 9.
- New data center in Tallinn, Estonia, targets Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) value of 1.2, against industry average of around 1.6
- Siemens’ AI-powered software optimizes cooling for energy efficiency and reliable operation of critical infrastructure
- Customized power distribution systems from Siemens ensure reliable, safe power supply to the data center
- Data center is powered by renewable energy, with ability to sell waste heat
Siemens has deployed integrated data center
management software at the largest and most energy efficient data center in the
Baltic region. The building management software (BMS), the energy and power
management software (EPMS) and the White Space Cooling Optimization (WSCO) help
Greenergy Data Centers to lower energy usage, ensure thermal protection and
manage reliable operation of the critical infrastructure.
- Predictive Service Analyzer provides information about anomalies in the drive system
- Increased plant availability by up to 30 percent through reduced production downtime
- AI-based algorithm for drive systems
As part of Predictive
Services for Drive Systems, Siemens is expanding its offering at the Hannover
Messe with an edge application. The Predictive Service Analyzer indicates
defects in the drive system at an early stage before they affect the entire
production. As a result, unplanned production downtime can be avoided and
maintenance times can be scheduled in good time, increasing plant availability
by up to 30 percent. By scheduling maintenance and servicing activities based
on actual demand, this increases productivity by up to 10 percent. The Predictive
Service Analyzer's AI-based solution detects early signs of anomalies, such as
those indicating mechanical damage in the motor, including bearing damage,
imbalance, and misalignment, as well as critical operating conditions of the
frequency converter. The app assesses the severity of the defect and the
expected remaining runtime and can thus predict potential future failures.
- Open, interoperable software suite ensures grid stability and economic efficiency, manages rising complexity of power grids
- Software speeds up grid simulations up to 6 times and increases efficiency in grid management tasks by 85 percent
- Holistic digital twin of the grid throughout planning, simulation and real-time operation of power grids
- Launch of customer co-innovation collaboration to guide product roadmaps for net zero world
In an
industry first, Siemens Smart Infrastructure announced an open, modular suite
of grid software to address the increasingly critical energy transition. The suite
is a game changer for established energy players and new stakeholders alike,
enabling them to be fast, agile and flexible when coping with existing and
future challenges. Siemens has already made significant steps to improve its offering
for smart meter data management such as a cloud native option or improved task efficiency by up to 85
percent by redefining the user experience. Siemens’ software also
enables customers to run grid protection simulations up to six times faster
than the current speed of execution, supporting utilities to better plan,
operate and maintain power networks. All upcoming modules of the software suite
from Siemens will be developed following specific design principles to interact
seamlessly and enable agility. At the same time, they will keep the power grid
cyber resilient while also creating a digital twin of the grid throughout
planning, simulation, real-time operations and maintenance of power grids.
- Siemens installs its fluorine gas-free, medium-voltage switchgear NXPLUS C 24 blue GIS at Iberdrola
- Climate-friendly insulating gas Clean Air with a global warming potential <1 consists exclusively of natural components of ambient air
- The power distribution solution enhances sustainability and climate protection for Spanish utility
Headquartered in the Spanish city of Bilbao, Iberdrola, one
of the world’s largest electric utilities and the world's largest wind power
producer, aims to become carbon neutral across Europe by 2030. To achieve this
goal, it is systematically implementing its environmentally-friendly and
sustainable business model. To this end, Siemens Smart Infrastructure has been
commissioned by i-DE Redes Eléctricas Inteligentes SAU, the company responsible
for power distribution activities within the Iberdrola Group, to supply its sustainable
medium-voltage switchgear to the northern Spanish province of Burgos. This marks
the first installation of fluorine gas-free switchgear from Siemens’
climate-friendly blue portfolio at a customer site in Spain.
- Siemens’ trade show motto: “Intelligent intralogistics - experience the flow”
- Digitalization in intralogistics as a decisive competitive advantage
- Highlight: Trade show model of a Dynamic Gapper application demonstrates the benefits possible by connecting the real and digital worlds
Under the motto
"Intelligent intralogistics - experience the flow", Siemens will
present at this year's Logimat in Hall 3, Booth D11, how a comprehensive
digital twin is developed with the Digital Enterprise Portfolio. Simulation based
on a digital twin makes it possible to design applications and processes in
intralogistics in a highly efficient, flexible and intelligent way. Considering
the fact that markets and requirements have changed in the past two years and
the intralogistics industry has to cope with a rapidly growing e-commerce, this
contributes to sustainable competitiveness. Here, increasing inventory turnover
rates with shorter storage periods, small order quantities with high delivery
speeds, rising return rates and short-term increases in delivery quantities
require flexible and scalable intralogistics processes. The new requirements
can be managed with the help of digitalization and automation.
- EWE NETZ installs fluorine gas-free blue GIS medium-voltage switchgear from Siemens in Brake, Germany
- Investment in climate protection and supply security in the region
- Climate-friendly insulation gas “Clean Air” replaces fluorine gas
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has supplied EWE NETZ GmbH, which operates highly-efficient power
grids in Germany, with its latest environmentally-friendly switchgear
technology. EWE NETZ has now completed a new medium-voltage switchgear
installation in Brake in the Wesermarsch region of Lower Saxony, which includes
seven fluorine gas-free NXPLUS C 24 circuit-breaker panels from Siemens’ green blue
GIS portfolio. This makes EWE NETZ one of the first grid operators in Germany
to switch to the climate-friendly insulation gas Clean Air for an entire
medium-voltage switchgear installation.
