- Siemens is using Digital Enterprise to drive forward the digitalization of its industrial business
- Electric motor plant in Bad Neustadt an der Saale is being developed as a showcase factory for digital applications in metalworking
- "Arena of Digitalization" presents digitalization solutions from the plant in Bad Neustadt an der Saale in an exhibition space covering over 800 square meters
- "Arena of Digitalization" is a clear commitment to the Bad Neustadt an der Saale location
Siemens is one of the world's leading providers of automation, control and electric drive technology for industry. Electric motors for industrial use have been manufactured at the Siemens site in Bad Neustadt an der Saale for 80 years. Digitalization is playing an increasingly important role at this site. For this reason, the plant is going to be developed as a showcase factory for digitalization in metalworking. In the new "Arena of Digitalization" covering an area of more than 800 square meters, Siemens is now showing customers and partners how digitalization is used in metalworking and motor production and what results can be achieved with it. In addition, using its own development and the way production has grown over many years as an example, the showcase factory demonstrates how digitalization already offers advantages in terms of productivity and efficiency for the discrete manufacturing industry.
