Let the good times roll: Starting September 21, about six million people from all around the world will be enjoying themselves at the Oktoberfest in Munich for two weeks. Traditionally, Siemens supplies drives and control systems as well as energy distribution for the festival's rides. Automation solutions from Siemens also control special beer pipelines – the only ones of its kind worldwide –that supply the Hacker, Winzerer Faehndl and Braeurosl festival tents with their tasty Oktoberfest brews. Because many breweries use Siemens technologies within their brewing process, Siemens doesn't only ensure fresh beer at the Oktoberfest.

- New Edge applications for workpiece and process quality, machine availability and process optimization
- Analyze MyWorkpiece /Vision and Optimize MyMachining /Magazine based on artificial intelligence
- Manage MySinumerik Edge for the central control and condition monitoring of Edge devices
Siemens has extended its Industrial Edge offerings for the machine-oriented Sinumerik Edge to include more new applications. With the new software, the company is helping machine tool users to improve workpiece and process quality, increase machine availability, and further optimize machine processes. With Edge Computing, large volumes of data can be processed locally on the machine tool. This also reduces storage and transmission costs for users, as large data volumes can be preprocessed and only the relevant data then transferred to a cloud or IT infrastructure.
September 16 2019, the day EMO opened its doors in Hanover to welcome trade visitors from all over the world. EMO is regarded as the world's leading trade fair for metal processing with exhibitors ranging from metal processing technology, machine tools, precision tools and automation components to customer-oriented systems.This year, Siemens presented its customers exciting innovations and new developments in technology and digitalization of machine tools under the banner of "Digitalization in Machine Tool Manufacturing - Thinking Further!". Particular highlights were the new CNC generation – Sinumerik One – and the machine-oriented platform Sinumerik Edge.
In the run-up to this event, Siemens invited journalists to the international Siemens Press Conference in Erlangen.

plants will have a combined generation capacity of 1.6 gigawatts (GW) when
completed and are a major step in Siemens’ roadmap for rebuilding Iraq's power
sector that has already added more than 700 megawatts to Iraq’s grid.
- Reaching the next level of digital transformation involves cutting-edge technologies such as Edge and cloud computing as well as artificial intelligence
- These technologies can be used to analyze data more comprehensively and in more depth than was previously the case. The owner of this data retains control over it at all times.
- Targeted patent strategies help the midmarket sector protect its innovations in the area of Industry 4.0 and tap new sales opportunities.
Cutting-edge technologies and the protection of intellectual property are a vital lever for advancing competitiveness and for opening up new business opportunities for medium-sized companies in the process and manufacturing industries. This was the message given by Klaus Helmrich, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO Siemens Digital Industries, as he addressed the "Forum of German SME" ("Forum Deutscher Mittelstand") in Stuttgart, southern Germany. The Forum was attended by 500 representatives from numerous well-known German companies in mechanical and plant engineering in order to debate digital strategies and future technologies for small and medium-sized companies. "The midmarket sector has always been characterized by its innovative force. We now need to protect these innovations with new approaches to patenting software and applications, for example," Klaus Helmrich explained.
