- Using
proven software and hardware, Siemens has developed a unique workplace
distancing solution that helps manufacturers to simulate and manage employee
exposure risks while enabling productivity throughout their facilities
- Combination
of Siemens’ SIMATIC Real Time Locating Systems and Xcelerator portfolio help
enable customers to manufacture with confidence and future-proof their
operations
Manufacturers are facing new challenges as
they look to restart or maintain operations during the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic. As preparations are made for the “next normal”, manufacturers must
consider additional dimensions of employee safety, including the establishment
of production environments and workflows that address physical distancing
requirements. Combining proven hardware and software, Siemens has created a new
solution that enables companies to quickly and efficiently model how employees
interact with each other, the production line and plant design. The new
solution also enables organizations to build an end-to-end digital twin, in
order to simulate worker safety, iterate on and optimize workspace layouts and
validate safety and efficiency measures to help future-proof production lines.

- Toolbox completely aligned to Simatic S7-1500 controller
- Libraries with tested functions for faster commissioning
- Implementation of international packaging standards
The Siemens’ Packaging Toolbox is now available in its entirety for the Simatic S7-1500 controller in the TIA Portal engineering framework. It offers users packaging specific libraries which can be integrated into existing or new machine applications as well as program blocks. The Toolbox supports international standards such as OMAC, PackML and Weihenstephan Standards. By adding or modifying function blocks it can be adapted to suit individual requirements, while at the same time saving the user time during engineering and commissioning through tested functions and software solutions.
Atos, a global leader in digital transformation and Siemens, a global engineering leader, are working together with the pharmaceutical industry to improve production with an innovative solution based on a digital replica of the pharma production process. Currently being tested in the pharmaceutical industry, this innovative “Process Digital Twin” for pharma manufacturing – powered by IoT, AI and Advanced Analytics – is designed to provide improved efficiency and flexibility in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products.
- The research project was led by the Government of the Spanish Region of Andalusia, the Málaga Institute for Biomedical Research (IBIMA), a medical team from the Málaga hospitals “Regional Universitario” and “Virgen de la Victoria”, and the University of Málaga.
- Siemens Digital Industries provided the main control unit, including Logo!, the HMI operator panel and the Sitop power supply.
- The respirator has been approved by the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices, 300 of 480 planned units are already available to patients.
Siemens Digital Industries contributed vital technology to the Andalucía Respira project, an initiative created with the aim of manufacturing respirators to fight COVID-19. Research was led by the Government of the Spanish Region of Andalusia, together with the Málaga Institute for Biomedical Research (IBIMA), a medical team from the Málaga hospitals “Regional Universitario” and “Virgen de la Victoria”, and the University of Málaga.
- Single-phase 480-watt basic unit expands Sitop PSU8600 product line
- Four integrated monitored outputs of five amperes each (DC 24 V, 20 A/4x5)
- Modular expansion for monitoring up to 36 outputs
- Comprehensive diagnostic and maintenance information via integrated Ethernet/Profinet interfaces
Siemens is expanding its modular Sitop PSU8600 power supply system to include a new single-phase 480-watt basic unit. The new product features four integrated monitored outputs with a total of 24 volts DC at five amperes per output. Each output is flexible and can be set during operation in a range between 4 and 28 volts either manually or remotely via software. This eliminates the need for additional power supply units to supply five or twelve volt loads. The CNX8600 expansion module can be used to monitor up to 36 total outputs. Thanks to its integration into the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal engineering framework, fast implementation in to the automation is supported. In addition, the Sitop Manager provides easy parameterization and diagnostics. Comprehensive diagnostic and maintenance information are also available via the two integrated Ethernet/Profinet interfaces and via OPC UA, and can be evaluated directly in the automation systems. This means that errors can be located quickly and reduces downtime.
- New “Location Intelligence” software expands Simatic RTLS locating platform to include digital twin of performance
- Visualized real-time analyses create potential for optimization and facilitate rapid decision-making
- Provides customers with overview of material flow and order information
Siemens introduces new “Location Intelligence” software, which expands the Simatic RTLS (Real-Time Locating System) locating platform to include the digital twin of performance. The web-based software analyzes and visualizes dynamic data, processes events, and can be addressed directly from local ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) or MES (Manufacturing Execution System) systems. The intelligence acquired based on position data provides the user with a comprehensive overview of material flow, order information or possible problem areas.
