- Siemens is using Digital Enterprise to drive forward the digitalization of its industrial business
- Electric motor plant in Bad Neustadt an der Saale is being developed as a showcase factory for digital applications in metalworking
- "Arena of Digitalization" presents digitalization solutions from the plant in Bad Neustadt an der Saale in an exhibition space covering over 800 square meters
- "Arena of Digitalization" is a clear commitment to the Bad Neustadt an der Saale location
Siemens is one of the world's leading providers of automation, control and electric drive technology for industry. Electric motors for industrial use have been manufactured at the Siemens site in Bad Neustadt an der Saale for 80 years. Digitalization is playing an increasingly important role at this site. For this reason, the plant is going to be developed as a showcase factory for digitalization in metalworking. In the new "Arena of Digitalization" covering an area of more than 800 square meters, Siemens is now showing customers and partners how digitalization is used in metalworking and motor production and what results can be achieved with it. In addition, using its own development and the way production has grown over many years as an example, the showcase factory demonstrates how digitalization already offers advantages in terms of productivity and efficiency for the discrete manufacturing industry.
On the first day of the Hannover Messe, April 24, Klaus Helmrich welcomed you to the annual Siemens Press Conference. As member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, Klaus Helmrich is responsible for the Digital Factory as well as Process Industries and Drives Divisions. The Press Conference took place at 6:30 PM in the Trade Fair's Convention Center, Room 1 A/B. Mr Helmrich talked about current digitalization trends in the manufacturing and process industries under the heading "Discover the value of the Digital Enterprise".
- End-to-end digital value chain, from the engineering process to the integration of machinery in the line
- Innovative automation solutions for packaging machines and machine concepts for speed, efficiency, individuality, and flexibility
- Holistic solutions for plant operators in the food and beverage and pharmaceuticals industries
"Innovation in packaging – Benefits of digitalization" is Siemens' motto at this year's interpack, the world's leading trade fair for the packaging industry. The Siemens presentation focuses on digitalization and its effects on the packaging industry – from the digital value chain in the engineering process to the integration of machinery in the line. Siemens is presenting innovative automation solutions for packaging machines, such as the Multi-Carrier System, as well as new machine concepts to meet the requirements for speed, efficiency, individuality, and flexibility. Visitors to the booth will also get to know what MindSphere, the cloud-based, open IoT operating system from Siemens, can offer them in the field of digital services. The main themes of the exhibition are rounded off by holistic solutions for plant operators – with examples from the food and beverage and pharmaceuticals industries.
- New Simotion Motion Control functions for higher winding quality, machine speed and process reliability
- Prismatic winding compensates for path length differences on non-circular winding bodies
- Learning Error Compensation (LECo) compensates for cyclic disturbance variables in the process
Siemens has expanded its Simotion Motion Control solutions for converting machines to include prismatic winding and Learning Error Compensation (LECo). Prismatic winding compensates for path length differences on non-circular winding bodies. The advantages are higher winding quality, machine speed and process reliability. The new self-learning LECo function compensates for periodic disturbance variables in the process, and quickly restores the process and product quality. Deviations, such as position errors of a process axis triggered by mechanical shock, are already largely compensated for after just one cycle. The new Simotion applications are used, for example, in the manufacture of battery electrodes as well as in the processing of corrugated cardboard or material webs.
- Electrical equipment supplied for 32 automated stacking cranes deployed in 16 intelligent yard blocks and 12 remote-controlled ship-to-shore cranes

This order was placed by the Chinese Zhenhua Port Machinery Company (ZPMC), one of the world's biggest crane builders. The terminal, to be opened in 2019, will be the world's first transshipment hub featuring an end loading yard concept.
- TÜV SÜD certifies that the Siemens Simatic PCS 7 process control system conforms with the security standards IEC 62443-4-1 and IEC 62443-3-3
- Simatic PCS 7 is the first product to be certified by TÜV SÜD according to IEC 62443
- Comprehensive security measures and functions to protect plant operation
Siemens is the first company to obtain security certification from TÜV SÜD (German inspection and certification organisation) for an automation system based on IEC 62443-4-1 and IEC 62443-3-3. In August 2016, Siemens had already become the first company to receive the TÜV SÜD security certification according to IEC 62443-4-1 for the general development process for automation and drive technology products, including industrial software, employed at seven German development locations. This has now been followed by the first product certification according to IEC 62443-4-1 and 62443-3-3.
