- Award for
outstanding interpretive recording of Piano Concerto Opus 25 by Viktor Ullmann
(1898–1944)
- Accolades
for soloist Annika Treutler, the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra and conductor
Stephan Frucht
- The
project aims to keep alive the memory of Viktor Ullmann in the name of the many
artists expelled and murdered under the Nazi regime
- It also
features a groundbreaking digital, multi-perspective VR media installation with
immersive sound engineering as the narrative to Ullmann’s piano concerto
The Siemens Arts
Program has launched an audiovisual art project in partnership with pianist
Annika Treutler and media artist Alexander Stublić. The project is based on
Piano Concerto Opus 25 by the composer Viktor Ullmann, who was murdered at
Auschwitz in 1944. The art project features an elaborate new 3D audio recording
of the concerto alongside a virtual reality media art installation. The music
was recorded at the RBB concert studio in Berlin in partnership with the
Deutschlandfunk Kultur radio network and performed by the Berlin Radio Symphony
Orchestra conducted by Stephan Frucht (Artistic Director of the Siemens Arts
Program).
- Order worth almost €400 million
- Avenio HF light rail vehicles provide highest passenger comfort
- 24-year contract for service and spare parts to guarantee availability

- Sinumerik One Dynamics - three technology packages to increase the efficiency of CNC users when programming in the shopfloor and executing CAM-generated CNC programs
- Top Surface and Top Speed Plus for excellent motion control and perfect workpiece surfaces
With the software version NCU-SW 6.14, Siemens is launching three powerful technology packages exclusively for the CNC Sinumerik One. The Sinumerik One Dynamics packages are available in three different packages: One Dynamics Operate, One Dynamics 3-axis milling and One Dynamics 5-axis milling. The software functions contained in the technology packages support users from machine-oriented programming in the jobshop to high-performance machining of CAD-CAM-programmed workpieces with high surface quality.
- Improvement of machine tool availability through predictive maintenance with Analyze MyMachine /Condition
- Analyze MyMachine /Condition for Sinumerik Edge creates a mechanical fingerprint of the machine tool
- Condition evaluation, analysis and comparison of all connected machines using the Mindsphere application
Siemens is extending its edge application Analyze MyMachine /Condition with a corresponding Mindsphere application and thus demonstrating how edge computing and cloud computing can be intelligently combined. The Sinumerik Edge Application Analyze MyMachine /Condition, which the company presented last year at the EMO, uses high-frequency CNC data to create the mechanical fingerprint of a machine tool. In the application, users can capture and evaluate various parameters such as stiffness, friction, and backlash in the individual axes with the help of flexibly configurable measurement series. The measurement results can then be visualized and compared with reference data.
Digitally networked Rhine-Ruhr Express (RRX) convinces jury of experts
The “RRX – digital and optimally networked” project from Siemens Mobility has won the German Mobility Award 2020. A jury of high-ranking experts selected the project from around 300 applicants. According to the jury, the project is a valuable contribution toward achieving flexible, fully networked and future-oriented mobility, and represents a shining example of Germany’s strength as a location for business.
- Adaptable modular solution to deal with short-term needs of hospitals, e.g. during epidemic or temporary construction works
- Ergonomic solution ensuring safety of patients and medical staff
- Compliant with healthcare facilities regulations
- Autonomous care units, fast to deploy, deliver high added value
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has teamed up with Toutenkamion Group to jointly develop an agile container system of highly innovative mobile intensive care units, designed to take pressure off hospital infrastructure. The solution was a response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which forced nursing staff, doctors and hospital managers to urgently come up with practical solutions to ensure adequate care was provided to extremely contagious patients, while maintaining other emergency and conventional care. One of the major challenges of the epidemic has been the need to equip and increase the number of resuscitation and intensive care beds.
- High-frequency radar ensures
reliable readings in challenging environments
- Optional
HMI delivers easy commissioning and diagnostic
support
- Wide
range of liquids and solids applications in practically all market segments
including energy, mining, aggregates and water
Siemens presents two new additions
to the Sitrans LR100 series of 80 GHz radar transmitters. These high-frequency,
compact transmitters deliver robust, reliable measurements even in the most
challenging environments. Both deliver fast and easy setup. Sitrans LR140
features 4-20 mA simplicity and is configured via Bluetooth wireless technology
and the Sitrans mobile IQ App.
