- Sustainable technological cooperation for the future of industrial wireless communication
- Joint Proof of Concept in a real industrial environment using the 3.7-3.8 GHz band
- Researching the capabilities of 5G standalone networks for industrial applications
Siemens and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. have implemented the first private 5G standalone (SA) network in a real industrial environment using the 3.7-3.8GHz band. Both companies have joined forces in this project: Siemens is providing the actual industrial test conditions and end devices such as Simatic control systems and IO devices and Qualcomm Technologies is supplying the 5G test network and the relevant test equipment. The 5G network was installed in Siemens’ Automotive Showroom and Test Center in Nuremberg. Automated guided vehicles are (AGV) displayed here which are primarily used in the automotive industry. New manufacturing options and methods are also developed, tested and presented before they are put into action on customer sites. This allows Siemens’ customers, such as automated guided vehicle manufacturers, to see the products interact live.
- Siemens Industrial Edge closes the gap between local and Cloud computing and enables high-frequency data exchange at field level
- Edge apps for intelligent data analysis and increased productivity
- Industrial Edge includes a backend, Edge devices and Edge apps in Edge Management
With Siemens Industrial Edge, Siemens offers a digitalization solution that adds machine-level data processing to automation devices, by taking the intelligence of Edge computing and thus, sophisticated analytics securely to manufacturing level. Siemens Industrial Edge offers users the opportunity to execute a wide range of descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytics applications. Cloud connectivity is used in conjunction with Edge apps from Siemens, from third-party providers or from users themselves in an integrated hardware and software ecosystem for automation components.
- New devices for electrical installations in industrial and infrastructure environments with a lower nominal current of 0.1 to 0.4 amperes
- Firmware update with improved control and diagnostic functions
- Failsafe group shutdown function without additional wiring
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is adding four new devices to its portfolio of Simatic ET 200SP motor starters, which can be used to start electric drives with a power output from 0.1 to 0.4 amperes (A). These types of drives are found in fans and coolant pumps, for example. The compact motor starters are installed in control cabinets and are designed to start single and three-phase motors of machines and systems, protecting them against overloads and short-circuits. They are each available in standard and safety variants.
At "SPS – Smart Production Solutions" 2019, Siemens will present sector-specific applications and future technologies for the digital transformation of the discrete and process industries. At the heart of the 4000 square meter booth will be new products, solutions and services from the Digital Enterprise portfolio, which can be used to merge the real and virtual world.
On November 26, the first day of SPS, Klaus Helmrich spoke at the Siemens press conference, which took place in the trade show Convention Center. Mr Helmrich discussed the latest trends in digitalization and the next stage of digital transformation in the discrete and process industries.
At SPS 2019, Siemens presents its latest solutions
for smart and networked drive technology. By networking entire drive systems, machine
and plant builders as well as users can simulate machines and plant more
accurately using digital twins, perform commissioning, reduce downtimes and therefore
increase productivity.
Control rooms of process engineering plants are usually
as old as the plant itself, often 30 years and more. Today, digital
transformation is placing new demands on automation: Simatic PCS neo is a brand-new system software, which
offers companies in the process industry unique opportunities in the age of
digitalization. Main features include global web-based collaboration in
engineering and operation and intuitive handling representing all relevant
information in a single workbench.
- Easy connection to Simatic controllers using plug-in connectors
- Integration
in TIA Portal supports quick commissioning
Simatic
Micro-Drive F-TM Servodrive is the newest member of the Simatic Micro-Drive
family. The servo drive system comprises a Simatic Micro-Drive F-TM Servodrive
drive controller module, the Simatic ET 200SP and universal motors and plug-in
cables. It adds to the Simatic Micro-Drive PDC (ProfiDriveControl) and
completes the drive portfolio in the protective extra-low voltage range for EC
motors from 24 to 48 volts. The drive controller module supports dynamic and
accurate positioning in a small amount of space in the performance range up to
280 watts.
- Exact recording of energy consumption and electrical parameters
- Secure data transfer over existing communication networks
- Flexible use in industrial and commercial buildings as well as data centers
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has added the 7KM PAC3220 and 7KM PAC3120 measuring devices to its Sentron power monitoring portfolio. These devices capture energy and system data from buildings, infrastructure and industrial facilities and transfer them via standard communication protocols to higher-level energy management, automation and IoT systems. This data can then be used to identify energy hogs, detect system malfunctions as early as possible and proactively prevent downtimes. This allows companies to sustainably boost their energy efficiency and system availability. The new devices offer higher accuracy than the previous models and have a new design.
Under the motto "Thinking industrialized Additive Manufacturing further", Siemens will be presenting its comprehensive portfolio for the industrialization of additive manufacturing at formnext 2019, the leading trade fair for additive manufacturing and 3D printing, tailored to the respective industries. With the concept of the Digital Enterprise portfolio, Siemens is pursuing a holistic approach - from the point of view of machine builders and machine users alike. With the Digital Enterprise portfolio, Siemens offers a holistic, end-to-end solution to leverage a seamless value chain from functional design through manufacturing to value-added services.The range of industrial software and automation also includes leading simulation software and CNC technology. The Digital Enterprise portfolio enables the full utilization of digital twins that reflect the real world for machine users and machine manufacturers to ensure "first-time-right" printing.
Siemens at Formnext 2019 can be found in Hall 12.1 D81.
Siemens announced today the official launch
and general availability of the
Siemens Additive Manufacturing (AM) Network, following pilots and successful implementations
with customers and partners, including Decathlon, Siemens Gas & Power,
Siemens Mobility, HP and Materialise. The Siemens AM Network provides an
advanced cloud-based solution to foster collaboration and process orchestration
between engineers, procurement and suppliers of 3D printed parts. Providing an
end-to-end digital process that connects the demand for parts with a supplier
network helps enable globally distributed manufacturing. The Siemens Additive Manufacturing
Network will be featured at
Formnext 2019
in Frankfurt, Germany.
