- Introducing Cerberus Portal, cloud-based online fire protection software to monitor fire systems.
- Fire panel data is transferred to the cloud via the Cerberus Connect X300 gateway using encrypted transmission technology and a built-in firewall.
- In case of system incidents, maintenance personnel receives real-time information to react promptly, inform customers and prepare site visits.
Cerberus Portal is the first stepping stone in digitalizing Siemens fire safety products. It represents the initial component of the new Cerberus Cloud Apps offering. This is a clear push towards the current fire protection industry trend: "There is an ongoing disruptive revolution in our Fire Safety industry. That revolution is called digitalization. I am deeply convinced that digitalization will change the way we do business," says Johannes Mario Kahlert, Head of Fire Safety at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
- Siemens presents a new CNC for woodworking machines at the Ligna
- Sinumerik MC is the open CNC for customized processing machines
At the Ligna Woodworking Trade Fair 2019, Siemens is showcasing the Sinumerik MC control as a universal, open CNC system. Its optimized motion control, high-performance automation and the integrated Windows 10 operating system make it the ideal control, especially for wood, glass and stone cutting machines. With its open operating concept, the control system is also suitable for additive manufacturing, adhesive application, plate cutting, straightforward grinding, and laser or water jet cutting.
- Innovative woodworking control system
- Digitalization boosts productivity and flexibility
Under the banner "Digital Enterprise – Thinking industry further", Siemens is showcasing an extensive portfolio of innovative control and automation solutions for digitalizing the entire value chain in the woodworking and wood processing industry at the Ligna 2019 in Hannover from May 27-31, 2019 in Hall 16 at Booth C14.
- Partnership will bring industrial cyber threats into a single view
- New integrated platform and first of kind OT managed service leverages analytics to centralize and unlock the value of security data
Siemens and Chronicle, an Alphabet company, today announced a new partnership to protect the energy industry's critical infrastructure from increasingly sophisticated and malicious industrial cyber threats at Spotlight on Innovation, Siemens flagship U.S. technology and innovation conference. Through a unified approach that will leverage Chronicle's Backstory platform and Siemens' strength in industrial cyber security, the combined offering gives energy customers unparalleled visibility across information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) to provide operational insights and confidentially act on threats.
- New Intelligent Valve with heat exchanger optimization for heating groups and air handling units
- Reliable automatic commissioning via direct download of parameters from the cloud
- Flexible mounting options to fit the space available
The Intelligent Valve is the first self-optimizing dynamic valve for heating groups and air handling units from Siemens Smart Infrastructure that can be connected to the cloud. The device controls the flow, measures temperature and output, and automatically adjusts the valve settings to the heat exchanger. The valve can be commissioned quickly and reliably via wireless LAN using the Siemens ABT Go app. It fits the space available thanks to flexible mounting options, allowing the flow sensor, valve and controller box to be installed separately. Because additional functions can be downloaded from the cloud at any time, the Intelligent Valve is always up to date.
- Buildings connected in a microgrid support decentralized energy markets of the future
- Flexible energy consumption, storage and load balancing
- Ecological benefits for society as well as new revenue streams for buildings customers
Siemens Finland has created a new business to expand its virtual power plant activity: Vibeco (Virtual Buildings Ecosystem) is an innovative approach to increase the benefits of increasingly decentralized energy systems. The heart of the virtual power plant is a software platform, operated by Siemens, that intelligently balances electrical loads from buildings that have been connected in a microgrid, incorporating renewable energy and energy storage.
On the path to the future of energy, decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization are inextricably linked. The goal, after all, is intelligent, sustainable generation, provision, and use of energy. This requires integrative thinking and an eye for the big picture – from intelligent energy concepts to sector coupling, electromobility, and the integration of renewable energies in the power grid. At The smarter E Europe trade show, Siemens demonstrated how this combination of power generation, storage, distribution, and use functions in practice. The event brought together four exhibitions under one roof covering the core topics for the energy world of the future (Intersolar, Power2Drive, ees, EM-Power). In line with the trade fair motto "Take control: Be energy intelligent!" we presented innovative products and solutions for the grid integration of PV power plants, local energy systems, and for e-mobility ecosystems.
