- VinFast completed its automotive production within only 21 months
- Siemens' Digital Enterprise portfolio ensures VinFast's high manufacturing efficiency and product quality
- VinFast uses Xcelerator portfolio of software and Totally Integrated Automation (TIA)
VinFast, Vietnam's first volume car
manufacturer, has successfully produced its first cars ahead of schedule using
Siemens' portfolio of integrated software and hardware. By deploying its
portfolio, Siemens helped VinFast achieve its automotive production timeline for
building the factory, car design and start of the production in only 21 months,
well ahead of an already ambitious schedule. This is half of the average time
to build such a manufacturing plant. The VinFast plant in Hai Phong went live
in June 2019 and has a total design capacity of 250,000 cars per year. The first vehicles have been E-Scooters, compact
cars, sedans, and SUVs. These will be followed by battery electric passenger
cars as well as electric buses.

- Individual monitoring of the load cells of the scale
- Seamless communication through connection to Simatic
- Maximum accuracy through connection to Siwarex WP weighing electronics
With Siwarex DB, Siemens is launching a digital junction box for weighing applications with robust field housing in IP66 protection on the market. It can be integrated easily into Simatic environments. The Siwarex DB extends the Siemens weighing technology portfolio and through its seamless networking ensures that individual analog load cells can now be acquired and evaluated more comprehensively than ever before. They can be used both for the targeted monitoring of weighing processes and for extended diagnostics. Any error messages are displayed centrally on the Simatic controller and the HMI.

- Siemens’ lightning information
service detected about 446,000 strokes of lightning in Germany in 2018 – 3,000
more than in 2017
- Germany’s “lightning capital” was
Schweinfurt, which also headed the list in 2014
- The fewest strikes in Kiel, Potsdam,
Schwerin and the Lüchow-Dannenberg district
- Saarland the German state with the
most lightning activity in 2018, Saarbrücken the leader among state capitals
- The most lightning strikes in 2018
on June 1
- At European level, Croatia tops the ranking
in Siemens’ 2018 lightning atlas
The Lower
Franconian city of Schweinfurt was Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2018,
succeeding the Upper Bavarian district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which topped
the list in 2017. Siemens’ lightning information service BLIDS (which stands
for
Blitz-Informationsdienst von Siemens) detected 5.0 lightning strikes
per square kilometer in Schweinfurt in 2018. The districts of
Rheinisch-Bergisch in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Weilheim-Schongau
in Upper Bavaria took second and third places with 4.0 and 3.7 ground flashes
per square kilometer, respectively. Germany’s lowest concentration of lightning
strikes was in the cities of Kiel, Potsdam and Schwerin and in the Lüchow-Dannenberg
district (0.2). With lightning striking 3.0 times per square kilometer,
Saarbrücken led the country’s list of state capitals in 2018. Saarland was the
state registering the most lightning strikes detected per square kilometer,
while Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was the state with the fewest. Overall, at 446,000,
BLIDS again registered a comparatively low level of atmospheric discharges in
Germany – although 2017’s level and 2016’s record low level of some 432,000 strikes
were exceeded by 3.2 percent.
