Siemens has
announced its AI Anomaly Assistant Industrial App, which uses artificial
intelligence (AI) to detect anomalies in the process industry and assess their
business relevance. This gives companies new opportunities for the economical
optimization of their processes. The app analyzes process events that affect
parameters such as productivity, availability, and quality, and alerts the
plant operator to any anomalies. These events and anomalies are no longer
simply identified, but also scrutinized for their business relevance—an
assessment which was previously only possible based on previous experience.
To enable
the AI to detect and evaluate business-relevant anomalies, the machine-learning
algorithms are trained on the basis of process data and then concentrated to
determine which anomalies have an impact on the economic efficiency of the
plant. The plant operator themself then defines the further focus of the AI using
the app dashboard, where anomalies can be selected, evaluated and commented. This
evaluation phase is accompanied by several feedback loops, so that the plant
operator ends up with well-trained, focused AI that is able to evaluate
anomalies, based on the process data, for their business relevance. The AI
Anomaly Assistant app is installed either as a cloud application or within the
user's own infrastructure, for example on a Simatic Box PC or a virtual
machine. The cloud-based solution is particularly advantageous during the
training and evaluation phase, since it supports efficient collaboration
between data analysts and plant operators. In addition, it also allows the
results of anomaly detection to be combined with other services, such as
predictive asset management, as part of the Asset Performance Suite (APS).

- Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) signed
- Siemens Mobility and the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nuremberg for Renewable Energy agree on joint research for the use of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology in rail transport
The
use of hydrogen technology in rail transport is becoming increasingly important
as a solution for reducing CO2 emissions and helping to meet climate
targets. In recent years, Siemens Mobility has developed a hydrogen-powered
train, the Mireo Plus H. In this technology, hydrogen is tanked in gas form and
must be kept under high pressure in order to achieve the required high density.
