• Ricoh and Siemens start collaboration to develop the solution for aluminum Binder Jetting Technology for mass production
• As the first step of the collaboration, Ricoh has implemented Siemens’ Additive Manufacturing Network to build a full digital process to optimize its internal process and machine management for aluminum binder jetting technology – from print job preparation, through manufacture, to delivery of components
• Ricoh also aims to leverage the Additive Manufacturing Network capabilities to digitally transform its process service provision to a wide spectrum of industrial additive manufacturing focused customers

Siemens Digital Industries Software has today announced that Ricoh have begun a collaboration to realize the industrial aluminum Binder Jetting (BJT) solution for mass production. Ricoh is leveraging Siemens’ Additive Manufacturing Network capabilities to maximize the efficiency of the process and to achieve the scale required to take advantage of BJT in an industrial setting.

• New hardware and software available for Siemens' Industrial Edge ecosystem
• Industrial Edge Management System now cloud-based As-a-Service
• Low code for Industrial Edge: Simplifying edge app programming with Mendix on Edge
• Market launch at this year's SPS trade show in Nuremberg as part of Siemens Xcelerator

Industrial companies are increasingly relying on what’s known as edge computing in their production. It allows them to capture and process data where it’s generated: at the field level in the plant. At this year's SPS trade show in Nuremberg, the technology company Siemens is expanding its range of products and services for Industrial Edge at all levels. This will allow users to connect their information technology (IT) even better with the operational level (OT). Industrial Edge is also part of the portfolio of the Siemens Xcelerator open and flexible business platform.

• Festo AX Data Access app available on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace
• Connectivity solution helps to drive productivity and sustainability
• Siemens Industrial Edge Ecosystem continues to grow: More apps from Festo being planned

Siemens Xcelerator, the open digital business platform, creates an open ecosystem for collaboration between customers, Siemens, and certified partners, from large technology companies to independent software developers. Festo and Siemens announced their latest partnership at this year’s Hannover Messe trade fair. Festo has joined the Industrial Edge Ecosystem. To kick this off, Festo is offering the Festo AX Data access app, effective immediately, on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace, where industrial customers can purchase numerous apps from different providers. The integrated IoT solutions based on these apps offer customers greater productivity, flexibility, and sustainability. Siemens launched the independent, cross-vendor app store for industrial customers in October 2021. This marketplace is based on the Siemens Industrial Edge platform. It uses edge computing to process data right at its source, such as on an industrial PC in machines or plants. Effective immediately, Festo is offering data-driven AI solutions from the Festo Automation Experience (Festo AX) portfolio on the marketplace. 

• SINEC Security Inspector: Offering a single user interface for a software framework combining different cybersecurity tools
• Includes market-tested solutions for asset detection and identification, compliance checks, malware scans and vulnerability checks
• Originally developed by and used for Siemens only, now available for any industrial environment

With the evolving convergence of IT and OT networks in industrial manufacturing, cybersecurity concerns have risen likewise. Moreover, legal regulations force industrial companies to enhance cybersecurity in their processes. To address the growing need for industrial cybersecurity solutions, the technology company Siemens has grown its cybersecurity solution portfolio and launched an all-in-one security testing suite for industrial communication networks. The SINEC Security Inspector is a software framework for active one-time scanning that allows individual network devices, network segments or the entire network infrastructure to be scanned during maintenance time windows. It brings together a selection of best-in-class security tools which are integrated into a single user interface.

• RUGGEDCOM RST2428P: a secure, high-port density advanced switching platform with Power-over-Ethernet
• Enables secure communications for high-speed, real-time control applications and SCADA systems in harsh environments
• Emphasis on high-bandwidth, low latency communications and cybersecurity features

As critical infrastructure networks are digitalizing rapidly, OT networks must handle large data volumes from increasing IoT devices in the field and connect intelligent electronic devices to IT systems securely. To this end, Siemens has launched the RUGGEDCOM RST2428P, an advanced multilayer Ethernet switching platform, designed to provide secure and error-free communications for networks in harsh environments like electric power, transportation, or oil and gas plants.

• Infrastructure for private industrial 5G networks with a focus on automation applications
• The solution is already in use at Siemens plants and pilot customers like Salzgitter AG
• 5G is crucial for mobile robots, autonomous logistics, driverless transport systems, and edge devices

For the first time, the technology company Siemens is launching a private infrastructure developed in-house for the 5G mobile communications standard. The solution enables industrial companies to build their own local 5G networks that will provide optimal support for automation applications. "By building their own 5G networks, industrial companies are launching the next stage of connected production," says Axel Lorenz, CEO of Process Automation at Siemens. "5G is crucial for applications like mobile robots, autonomous logistics, and driverless transport systems in factories. Siemens' private 5G infrastructure also gives users sole control over the data in their 5G network at all times, and they can custom-configure the network for their applications."

• Digital twin of the machine, the workpiece, and the controller available in an end-to-end offering on Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace
• Siemens underscores its technology leadership in combining the real world with the digital world
• Less scrap and avoidance of machine damage
