• High-frequency data exchange between Sinamics drives and the Industrial Edge platform
• Drive System Framework for connectivity, management, and configuration of the Digital Twin
• Paving the way for new business models

As part of the Digital Enterprise SPS Dialog, Siemens is launching Analyze MyDrives Edge, its first edge application for drives. The company is thus demonstrating in concrete terms how edge computing can make Sinamics drive systems even more intelligent and what benefits users and machine builders can derive from it. Analyze MyDrives Edge is being launched with basic functionalities similar to the proven Mindsphere application Analyze MyDrives but will be enhanced with intelligent features based on high-frequency data exchange. The Edge application thus allows users of machines and industry applications to perform complex analyses of data that is already collected in the drive. Machine learning and AI algorithms on which the edge application is based identify patterns and detect anomalies and their causes, thus providing timely indications of any pending machine maintenance. This minimizes downtimes and reduces the consumption of resources.

• Siemens presents liquid-cooled, robust power conversion system based on proven Sinamics S120 platform
• Grid converter comes with certification in accordance to VDE-AR-N 4110 and with validated simulation model for easy project planning, optimization and integration into the power grid 

With Sinamics PCS, Siemens presents a new power conversion system for battery storage applications. The Sinamics PCS grid converter makes locally generated battery power usable for industrial and public power grids. Sinamics PCS controls the charging and discharging process of the battery and helps to handle load peaks and grid disturbances via the battery storage, to store the electricity in an energy- and cost-efficient manner and to bring the energy stored in batteries efficiently and reliably into the grid.

Siemens presents the Simatic Robot Library for the Simatic Robot Integrator - a new universal robot library for the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal, which replaces the previous manufacturer-specific libraries. The specification has been developed in close cooperation with robot manufacturers ABB Robotics, Comau, Epson, FANUC, Kawasaki Robotics, KUKA, Panasonic Industry, STÄUBLI, Techman Robot, Yamaha, and YASKAWA. In future, users will be able to program most of the robots available on the market in the TIA Portal using the Simatic Robot Library, and make use of standard operating concepts based on the Simatic Robot Integrator and Simatic HMI. 

• Growing demand for remote access via public 5G networks for remote maintenance
• Scalance MUM856-1 connects local industrial applications to the public 5G network
• Sinema Remote Connect management platform provides secure access to remote plants and machines 

Siemens presents the first industrial 5G router for connecting local industrial applications to a public 5G network. The device will be available in spring 2021. Using the newly developed Scalance MUM856-1, industrial applications such as machines, control elements, and other devices can be accessed remotely via a public 5G network, providing a simple remote maintenance option for these applications using the high data rates offered by 5G. The Sinema Remote Connect management platform for VPN connections can be used to provide easy and secure access to these remote plants or machines – even if they are integrated in other networks.

• Siemens presents the first virtual additive manufacturing reference factory for selective laser sintering and industrial post-processing with its partners EOS and DyeMansion
• End-to-end software and automation solutions from the Digital Enterprise portfolio drive the industrialization for leading technology providers and users of additive manufacturing

Under the motto "Partnering for the next step to industrialize Additive Manufacturing", Siemens is going to present at Formnext Connect its Digital Enterprise Portfolio for the industrialization of additive manufacturing as well as innovations with partners around new achievements in various additive manufacturing technologies. One highlight is the partnership with EOS and DyeMansion. Together, the three companies will present the first virtual additive manufacturing reference factory for selective laser sintering with polymers. Using the example of a midsole for footwear applications in which parameters such as design, fit and color are individually and economically taken into account, Siemens, EOS and DyeMansion will demonstrate what the next step towards the industrialization of selective laser sintering with polymers can look like along the entire production chain. "The automated chain of coordinated production steps from all suppliers, from design and printing to post-processing, as well as end-to-end IT integration, is crucial for high productivity and maximum flexibility. This applies to series parts as well as to a highly flexible lot-size-1 production for individualized products or spare parts," explains Dr. Karsten Heuser, Vice President Additive Manufacturing at Siemens Digital Industries, and continues: "With the end-to-end digitization and automation solutions from Siemens, we have succeeded, together with our partners EOS and DyeMansion, in creating a seamlessly integrated end-to-end value chain for industrial additive manufacturing with selective laser sintering and industrial post-processing solutions using polymers.”
