• Machine and plant builders use digitalization to develop new business models and speed up time-to-market
• Digitalization applications enhance flexibility, efficiency and quality
• Extended "MindSphere-Lounge" over an area of 1,400 square meters

Siemens will be exhibiting at the "SPS IPC Drives" 2017 with an array of applications and examples of how machine and plant builders can sharpen their competitive edge with digitalization. Exhibiting under the banner "Discover the Value of the Digital Enterprise" in Hall 11 across an impressive 4,400 square meter exhibition space, the company will be presenting the latest additions to its Digital Enterprise portfolio. Innovations featured range from new software versions for more efficient engineering through digital drive systems to the open cloud-based IoT operating system MindSphere, which opens up scope for new business models to machine and plant builders. This allows companies across the discrete and process industries to enhance their flexibility, efficiency and speed, for instance by using a "digital twin" to simulate products, production processes or plants and optimize them across the entire value chain.

• Digitalization of low-flow measurement
• Sensor program expansion with DN100 and DN150
• Transmitter with Modbus and Profibus PA profile 4.0 communication
• Suitable for new applications in oil and gas, marine, and chemical

To extend the numerous process-optimizing advantages of the digital Coriolis flowmeter platform to low-flow applications such as batching, dosing and filling of both liquids and gases, the Sitrans FCT030 and FCT010 digital transmitters can now be paired with the Sitrans F C MASS 2100 and Sitrans FC300 Coriolis sensors for small line sizes from DI 1.5 to DN 15. With this major enhancement to the product line, a broad range of users from chemical to automotive applications can benefit from market-leading mass flow accuracy of 0.1%, density accuracy of 0.5 kg/m3 and 100 Hz signal processing. The high-speed update rate ensures the highest precision for applications such as the filling of beverage bottles.

• Digitalization allows machine manufacturers to develop new business models
• Openness of MindSphere has an important role to play for machine manufacturers
• Siemens connects 240 machine tools with "Manage MyMachines" on MindSphere across the whole exhibition site

At the EMO 2017, Siemens is demonstrating the various connection and installation options of its high-performance and open cloud-based IoT operating system MindSphere for applications in the machine tool sector. The company is connecting over 240 different machine tools from over 140 manufacturers across the whole exhibition site using its "Manage MyMachines" app on MindSphere. In addition to this, machine manufacturers such as Heller are presenting new services and business models based on MindSphere to, for example, increase efficiency and productivity.

• Memorandum of Understanding signed at EMO 2017
• Common understanding of closer, long-term partnership in integrating Siemens technology in FFG machine tools
• Introduction of the Digital Enterprise Suite and the cloud-based IoT operating system MindSphere at FFG
• Collaboration in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) and Totally Integrated Automation (TIA)

Siemens and Fair Friend Enterprise Co., Ltd. Taiwan (FFG), which, in addition to its Industrial Equipment and Green Energy Divisions, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of machine tools, now intend to strengthen their long-standing business relationship. The aim of the extended partnership is to consolidate the integration of the Siemens Digital Enterprise Suite across the Taiwanese business and to integrate innovative Siemens digitalization and automation technologies into FFG's machine tools and machine tool technologies.

• Digitalization check: transparency of the digitalization capability of the machine park
• Virtual commissioning for OEM: faster commissioning and shorter time-to-market for machines
• Retrofit services for machine tools: economical retrofit measures instead of new investment

At the EMO 2017 in Hannover, Siemens is exhibiting new and expanded digital and classic Services for the machine tool industry – with new capabilities for identifying and exploiting additional productivity potential for machine tools. Machine tool operating companies use the new Digitalization Check as a Service from the portfolio of Manufacturing IT Services to create transparency of the digitalization capability of the machine park. With Virtual Commissioning as a Service, machine manufacturers (OEMs) use a virtual twin to significantly speed up both commissioning and time-to-market.

• Through its strategic partnership with Identify3D, Siemens is offering new ways of protecting the manufacturing processes
• Data encrypted in NX – decrypted in SINUMERIK 840D sl
• Stringent security solution along the digital value chain
• The new security solution will be presented at the EMO 2017 trade fair in Hannover

Siemens is offering new, comprehensive possibilities for data protection in the field of digitalization when third-party service providers are involved in the manufacturing process. With a view of data security licensing and encryption, the corporation has entered into a strategic partnership with Identify3D (ID3D). ID3D has integrated the solutions for security and traceability of digital production processes into the Sinumerik and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) portfolio of Siemens. Data encryption, including time stamp, is already included in the 3D CAM (computer aided manufacturing) software NX. Decryption takes place on the SINUMERIK 840D sl. Through the cooperation with Identify3D, Siemens has secured the integrity of all process data along the entire value chain with an end-to-end security solutions. Siemens and Indentify3D will present the software integration at the EMO 2017 in Hannover. With the integration of these new solutions into the Siemens portfolio, customers will be able to protect their intellectual property, have their products produced according to the individually defined parameters, and comprehensively track the produced parts.

• Siemens enters into cooperation with Italian robot manufacturer COMAU
• Sinumerik Run MyRobot /DirectControl enables complete integration of robot kinematics into the CNC
• Sinumerik RunMyRobot /DirectControl offers the benefit of a single controller for machine tool and robot
• Increased productivity, flexibility, dynamic response, and precision

Siemens has entered into a cooperative arrangement with the Italian robot manufacturer COMAU and will be unveiling the jointly engineered product Sinumerik Run MyRobot /DirectControl at the EMO 2017 in Hanover. This development enables the robot kinematics to be fully integrated into a CNC system. As a result, the Sinumerik controls the articulated robot arm directly with the basis of complex algorithms without the need for a separate robot controller. The Sinumerik Run MyRobot /DirectControl solution allows the CNC to control both the robot arm drive system andcontains safety functions typically performed by the robot controller. In addition, the robot is programmed solely using Sinumerik.
