- High-frequency radar ensures
reliable readings in challenging environments
- Optional
HMI delivers easy commissioning and diagnostic
support
- Wide
range of liquids and solids applications in practically all market segments
including energy, mining, aggregates and water
Siemens presents two new additions
to the Sitrans LR100 series of 80 GHz radar transmitters. These high-frequency,
compact transmitters deliver robust, reliable measurements even in the most
challenging environments. Both deliver fast and easy setup. Sitrans LR140
features 4-20 mA simplicity and is configured via Bluetooth wireless technology

- New standard library for shorter winding times at a higher quality
- Can be used for linear winding procedures of rectangular coils
- Engineering and commissioning times of winding machines are reduced
For the faster production of e-motors, Siemens has developed a new application which optimally controls wire tension for linear winding and minimizes fluctuations in force. The Wire Brake software application for automated winding of rectangular coil former controls the tension of the copper wire. In comparison to passive systems, this enables higher winding speeds and a higher winding quality to be achieved. The functionality can be integrated directly into the machine project using the standard library "Simotion Wire Brake" which shortens engineering and commissioning costs. It contains algorithms which include the rectangular geometry of the coil former as well as the "TensionControl" components to control the wire tension brake axis and "CamGeneration" to calculate cams using reference values.
- New services enabled by the Mendix low-code platform enable data-driven decision making in factories and across enterprise data sources
Siemens Digital Industries Software is leveraging the Mendix™ low-code application development platform to help customers across industries build contextual and personalized solutions and help enable data-driven decision-making processes. With the general availability of Mendix Data Hub and new Mendix for Industrial Edge services, Siemens can help customers achieve an end-to-end view of their plants, factories, and systems and provide domain experts with actionable insights through solutions that have been developed with the right data from across the organization. The Mendix platform extends the Xcelerator™ portfolio with the ability to build multi experience apps and share data from any location, on any device, on any cloud or platform, to more quickly realize the benefits of digital transformation.
Every plant or asset is documented in data. All this data and information is scattered across various platforms and various formats. It is not contextualized nor is it easily accessible. It is simply not data you can rely on. That is where PlantSight comes in. PlantSight consolidates the assets of a plant, by bringing together different types of data (1D, 2D, or 3D) from different sources into a single source of truth.

(PLM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Application Lifecycle Management
(ALM), Internet of Things (IoT), and other Information Technology (IT),
Engineering Technology (ET) and Operational Technology (OT) solutions. eQube extends the Mendix™ Data Hub, a key component of the
expanded Mendix low-code platform, and can help enable industrial data and
system integrations with a rich set of over 60 smart connectors developed from domain-specific
knowledge drawn from over 20 years of experience.
- Siemens and J&K Technology support digital validation process
- New CVal software solution for digital process and plant validation in COMOS for the pharmaceutical industry
- Efficient data handling across all disciplines - using a central database and object orientation
Siemens and J&K Technology, part of the J&K Group, announce the development of the new CVal software solution for COMOS. J&K Technology, a specialist in cGxP Compliance Services, has developed the CVal solution. CVal is a digital process and plant validation software for use in the pharmaceutical industry, based on the Siemens COMOS Plant Engineering software solution. This involves a wide range of different modules based on the COMOS platform and the COMOS Data Document Management System (DDMS). As a result, this digital application consistently creates greater data integrity, quality, coherence, and topicality.

- Siemens’ lightning information service detected about 329,000 lightning strikes in Germany in 2019 – down 26 percent on 2018
- Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2019 was the city of Speyer in Rhineland-Palatinate
- The fewest strikes were recorded in three Bavarian cities: Hof, Bayreuth and Schweinfurt
- Bavaria was the German state with the most lightning activity in 2019, Potsdam was the leader among state capitals
- The most lightning strikes in 2019 were recorded on June 12
- At European level, Trieste and surrounding area tops the ranking in Siemens’ 2019 lightning atlas
The city of Speyer in the state of Rheinland-Palatinate was Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2019. Siemens’ lightning information service BLIDS (which stands for Blitz-Informationsdienst von Siemens) detected just under 3.1 lightning strikes per square kilometer in Speyer in 2019. The cities of Rostock on the Baltic coast and Lübeck in the state of Schleswig-Holstein took second and third places with 2.6 and 2.5 ground flashes per square kilometer, respectively. Germany’s lowest density of lightning strikes was recorded in the Bavarian cities of Hof and Bayreuth, where considerably fewer than 0.1 lightning strikes per square kilometer were recorded. The Bavarian city of Schweinfurt, which was No. 1 in Siemens’ 2018 lightning atlas, was also at the bottom of the list, recording 0.1 lightning strikes per square kilometer in 2019. With lightning striking just under 2.3 times per square kilometer, Potsdam led the country’s list of state capitals in 2019, followed by the neighboring city of Berlin (rounded off: 2.2). Berlin is also the German state registering the highest lightning density, while Bavaria recorded the highest number of measured ground flashes in 2019. Overall, at 329,000, BLIDS recorded its lowest number of lightning strikes, around 26 percent fewer than in 2018.
