- Sustainable technological cooperation for the future of industrial wireless communication
- Joint Proof of Concept in a real industrial environment using the 3.7-3.8 GHz band
- Researching the capabilities of 5G standalone networks for industrial applications
Siemens and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. have implemented the first private 5G standalone (SA) network in a real industrial environment using the 3.7-3.8GHz band. Both companies have joined forces in this project: Siemens is providing the actual industrial test conditions and end devices such as Simatic control systems and IO devices and Qualcomm Technologies is supplying the 5G test network and the relevant test equipment. The 5G network was installed in Siemens’ Automotive Showroom and Test Center in Nuremberg. Automated guided vehicles are (AGV) displayed here which are primarily used in the automotive industry. New manufacturing options and methods are also developed, tested and presented before they are put into action on customer sites. This allows Siemens’ customers, such as automated guided vehicle manufacturers, to see the products interact live.
At SPS 2019, Siemens presents its latest solutions
for smart and networked drive technology. By networking entire drive systems, machine
and plant builders as well as users can simulate machines and plant more
accurately using digital twins, perform commissioning, reduce downtimes and therefore
increase productivity.
Control rooms of process engineering plants are usually
as old as the plant itself, often 30 years and more. Today, digital
transformation is placing new demands on automation: Simatic PCS neo is a brand-new system software, which
offers companies in the process industry unique opportunities in the age of
digitalization. Main features include global web-based collaboration in
engineering and operation and intuitive handling representing all relevant
information in a single workbench.
- Easy connection to Simatic controllers using plug-in connectors
- Integration
in TIA Portal supports quick commissioning
Simatic
Micro-Drive F-TM Servodrive is the newest member of the Simatic Micro-Drive
family. The servo drive system comprises a Simatic Micro-Drive F-TM Servodrive
drive controller module, the Simatic ET 200SP and universal motors and plug-in
cables. It adds to the Simatic Micro-Drive PDC (ProfiDriveControl) and
completes the drive portfolio in the protective extra-low voltage range for EC
motors from 24 to 48 volts. The drive controller module supports dynamic and
accurate positioning in a small amount of space in the performance range up to
280 watts.
Under the motto "Thinking industrialized Additive Manufacturing further", Siemens will be presenting its comprehensive portfolio for the industrialization of additive manufacturing at formnext 2019, the leading trade fair for additive manufacturing and 3D printing, tailored to the respective industries. With the concept of the Digital Enterprise portfolio, Siemens is pursuing a holistic approach - from the point of view of machine builders and machine users alike. With the Digital Enterprise portfolio, Siemens offers a holistic, end-to-end solution to leverage a seamless value chain from functional design through manufacturing to value-added services.The range of industrial software and automation also includes leading simulation software and CNC technology. The Digital Enterprise portfolio enables the full utilization of digital twins that reflect the real world for machine users and machine manufacturers to ensure "first-time-right" printing.
Siemens at Formnext 2019 can be found in Hall 12.1 D81.
- Simatic S7-1500 controller with expanded motion control functionality and Sinamics S120 drive control in one device – thus saving space
- Powerful for high-end applications, with integrated safety functionality for the controller and drive
- Extensive communication interfaces, technology I/Os, as well as cross-PLC synchronous operation for an easy implementation of modular machine concepts
- Proven engineering in the TIA Portal
Siemens is expanding its product portfolio of technology CPUs with the Simatic Drive Controller. The new controller combines a Simatic S7-1500 controller with motion control, technology and safety functionality with a Sinamics S120 drive control in one device, thus saving space. This makes it easy to implement requirements for powerful, compact and flexible automation solutions. The high performance of the new controller is particularly beneficial for applications with many axes where a multi-axis drive system is used – for example in packaging, printing and textile machines.
Siemens announced today the official launch
and general availability of the
Siemens Additive Manufacturing (AM) Network, following pilots and successful implementations
with customers and partners, including Decathlon, Siemens Gas & Power,
Siemens Mobility, HP and Materialise. The Siemens AM Network provides an
advanced cloud-based solution to foster collaboration and process orchestration
between engineers, procurement and suppliers of 3D printed parts. Providing an
end-to-end digital process that connects the demand for parts with a supplier
network helps enable globally distributed manufacturing. The Siemens Additive Manufacturing
Network will be featured at
Formnext 2019
in Frankfurt, Germany.
- Extension of seamless software and automation solutions in the Digital Enterprise portfolio drive forward the industrialization of additive manufacturing for machine builders and users
- Expansion of partner network advances industrial additive applications
- New: AM factory planning now offered by IoT Services Consulting
- Siemens Additive Manufacturing Network is now globally available
Under the slogan “Thinking industrialized Additive Manufacturing further!”, Siemens is exhibiting at Formnext 2019, the leading global trade fair dedicated to additive manu-facturing and all of its upstream and downstream processes, where it will present its entire solution portfolio for industrialized additive manufacturing, tailored to specific in-dustries. With the Digital Enterprise portfolio, the company is offering a comprehen¬sive end-to-end solution for the entire value chain from function-driven design through manufacturing to services. The portfolio of industrial software and automation also in-cludes leading simulation software and CNC technology. With its Digital Enterprise portfolio, Siemens supports the complete use of digital twins, which simulate the real world for machine manufacturers and users in order to ensure the correct manufac-ture of a component on the very first attempt.
Siemens Digital Industries Software today
announced Additive Manufacturing (AM) Path Optimizer, a beta technology
integrated in NX™ software, to help customers solve overheating challenges and
help reduce scrap and increase production yield to achieve the industrialization
of AM, or the use of AM at the industrial scale. Siemens has developed this
next generation advanced simulation technology to help maximize the production
yield and quality of powder bed fusion manufactured parts. This latest
extension of Siemens’ end-to-end additive manufacturing solution feeds the
digital thread, informing each step of the industrialized additive
manufacturing process.
- Acquisition
to expand ability to create a comprehensive digital twin with addition of
material modeling
- Siemens
to integrate MultiMechanics’ TRUE Multiscale simulation technology with
Simcenter 3D software to accelerate innovation and adoption of advanced
materials
Siemens
announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire MultiMechanics, Inc.,
developer of MultiMech finite element software that helps companies virtually
predict failure in advanced materials at an unprecedented level of speed and
accuracy. The company plans to integrate MultiMechanics into Siemens Digital
Industries Software, which will add the ability for customers to create a
digital twin of materials by closely integrating materials
engineering with part design, performance engineering, and manufacturing through
the unique TRUE Multiscale™ technology for a broad range of material-driven
applications. MultiMechanics’ technology helps companies to efficiently predict material
properties and behavior, including failure starting at the microstructural
level, at an unprecedented level of speed and accuracy. This unique technology
will be incorporated into Simcenter™ software within Siemens’
Xcelerator portfolio, implementing materials engineering into the digital
workflow and establishing a pervasive link between material developers,
manufacturing process developers and part designers.
