- Siemens is expanding its ecosystem and is for the first time offering its partners’ solutions specifically designed for additive manufacturing on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace
- Castor, EOS, and AMbitious are the first partner offerings that complement the Siemens solutions; they’re appropriate for users entering the field of additive manufacturing
- Accelerate the industrialization of AM with Siemens Xcelerator and easy-to-use, interoperable, and end-to-end ecosystem solutions
Over the last few years, Siemens has successfully built an ecosystem that encompasses numerous partnerships along the entire value chain for the industrialization of additive manufacturing. This includes more than 110 machine manufacturing companies that produce the highest-quality components based on Siemens automation as well as leading producers offering integrated software solutions.
- Ricoh and Siemens start collaboration to develop the solution for aluminum Binder Jetting Technology for mass production
- As the first step of the collaboration, Ricoh has implemented Siemens’ Additive Manufacturing Network to build a full digital process to optimize its internal process and machine management for aluminum binder jetting technology – from print job preparation, through manufacture, to delivery of components
- Ricoh also aims to leverage the Additive Manufacturing Network capabilities to digitally transform its process service provision to a wide spectrum of industrial additive manufacturing focused customers
Siemens Digital Industries Software has today announced that Ricoh have begun
a collaboration to realize the industrial aluminum Binder Jetting (BJT)
solution for mass production. Ricoh is leveraging Siemens’ Additive
Manufacturing Network capabilities to maximize the efficiency of the process
and to achieve the scale required to take advantage of BJT in an industrial
setting.
- New hardware and software available for Siemens' Industrial Edge ecosystem
- Industrial Edge Management System now cloud-based As-a-Service
- Low code for Industrial Edge: Simplifying edge app programming with Mendix on Edge
- Market launch at this year's SPS trade show in Nuremberg as part of Siemens Xcelerator
Industrial companies are increasingly relying on
what’s known as edge computing in their production. It allows them to capture
and process data where it’s generated: at the field level in the plant. At this
year's SPS trade show in Nuremberg, the technology company Siemens is expanding
its range of products and services for Industrial Edge at all levels. This will
allow users to connect their information technology (IT) even better with the
operational level (OT). Industrial Edge is also part of the portfolio of the Siemens
Xcelerator open and flexible business platform.

Passengers can first experience the new
interior design of the 17th ICE 3neo
- New seats, functions,
materials, and colors
- DB to receive 73 more ICE 3neos with new interior
design by 2028
The
new ICE interior design celebrated its premiere today in the 17th
ICE 3Neo. Among its numerous innovations: The completely redeveloped seats are
designed as a personal retreat, offering improved adjustment options and even
greater comfort. The interior’s harmonious new look features modern materials
like wood décor accents and premium 85-percent wool upholstery in finely
nuanced colors. Seats in the 1st class are finished in warm gray
tones, while blue tones dominate in the 2nd class and burgundy red defines
the on-board restaurant. Additional passenger functionality is provided by features
like integrated tablet holders and coat hooks in each backrest. With this new interior
design, DB is pursuing its strategy to renew its train fleet and further
improve travel comfort and convenience. At the Frankfurt Central Station today,
representatives of DB and Siemens saw off the new train on its premiere
passenger trip to Cologne – three months earlier than originally planned.
Siemens Mobility
delivers 90 Velaro
MS high-speed trains (ICE 3neo) for Deutsche Bahn. The first train of the
ICE 3neo fleet started passenger service on December 5, 2022, just two
and a half years after the first order.
Nuremberg, November 14 to November 16, 2023
- 18 Desiro HC double-decker trains enter service in Franconia and southern Thuringia in December
- more seats, high level of comfort, cutting-edge technology
- 30-minute service intervals between Nuremberg and Bamberg
- over 10,000 additional seats per day
- eight more trains coming as of June 2024
The movement to
modernize regional transport continues to gain momentum: When the timetable
changes in December 2023, 18 new Desiro HC double-decker trains from Siemens
Mobility will inaugurate service for the Franconia-Thuringia Express. With a
top speed of 160 kilometers per hour, 380 seats, spaces for 36 bicycles, WiFi
service, high-frequency windowpanes that significantly improve cellphone
reception, as well as an electronic passenger information system with 27
monitors, the new Franconia-Thuringia Express operated by DB Regio Bayern
offers a special experience for its passengers. The new trains will operate on
many routes in the future, such as between Nuremberg and Bamberg daily between
5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. every 30 minutes in both directions. The trains will
provide over 10,000 additional seats on this route. DB Regio Bayern and
Bayerische Eisenbahngesellschaft (BEG), which plans, finances and controls
regional and S-Bahn transport on behalf of the state of Bavaria, presented the
new train today together with Siemens Mobility at the Bamberg main station,
followed by a press tour through Franconia. The states of Bavaria and Thuringia
are investing a total of €320 million in the new train fleet to expand regional
transport capacities.
- 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.
Additive manufacturing is
not, and should not be perceived, as an isolated industrial domain. It’s an
additional technology that can advance classical manufacturing. As companies
mature in the additive hype cycle the need for collaboration rises.
