- Siemens' Capital is selected by Europe's second largest car
manufacturer to automatically render electrical system diagrams, replacing
manual processes
- Accurate documentation helps ensure rapid and effective vehicle
maintenance, helping Groupe PSA realize a 30% schedule reduction
- Capital
is part of the Xcelerator portfolio of software, which is enabling tomorrow's
electronic design today
Siemens today announced that Siemens'
Capital™ software
electrical design product for
its automotive aftersales documentation has been selected by Groupe PSA
, the second largest car manufacturer in Europe. Groupe PSA is an early
innovator of autonomous and connected cars, manufacturing five car brands:
Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel and Vauxhall. The company has an established process
of supplying its facilities with after-sales service documentation with several
types of design deliverables aiding rapid diagnosis. Using Capital's advanced
technology, Groupe PSA has replaced a largely manual process and can now
automatically render their electrical system diagrams using data that comes
directly from the PSA electrical/electronic (E/E) engineering department and
their harness suppliers to help provide "correct-by-construction" assurance.
The result is accurate documentation created using "as-manufactured"
data provided by Groupe PSA's suppliers which helps ensure rapid and effective vehicle
maintenance when required. Groupe PSA can now better enable their digital
enterprise and continue to innovate the mobile solutions of the future.

- Fast 1,000 Hz sampling rate and processing time deliver high accuracy and repeatability
- Seamless, user-friendly integration into Simatic automation systems
- Wide range of applications in pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical, and steel industries
Siwarex WP351 is Siemens’ newest solution for intelligent weighing automation. Measuring 20 millimeters width by 65 millimeters height, the module is one of the smallest weighing electronics units available. The device’s 1,000 Hz sampling rate and processing time combined with a digital output response time of less than one millisecond guarantee highest accuracy and repeatability. This capability represents especially in case of checking scales and high performance filling machines a big advantage, as even within very short weighing times the dosing devices are controlled in an optimal way.
- Seamless redundancy and high precision time synchronization from a single device
- Easy migration to highly reliable networks with zero packet loss
- Minimal downtime and reduced risk of communication disruptions
- Specifically designed for modern digital substation applications
Siemens has introduced a new line module for the Ruggedcom RST2228 and RST2228P Layer 2 19” rack switches, the Ruggedcom RMM2972-2RNA. This module strengthens the Ruggedcom RST2228 19” rack switch offering to the electric power utilities by providing seamless redundancy with PRP/HSR (Parallel Redundancy Protocol/High-availability Seamless Redundancy), enhanced IEEE1588 implementation, high bandwidth uplinks, and traffic filtering and segmentation from a single device. This module eliminates network downtime due to single points of fault, resulting in high reliability and availability for modern digital substation applications as mandated by the IEC 61850 standard.
