Siemens AG and Perceptive Engineering Ltd announce a partnership which offers Perceptive's PharmaMV and Siemens Simatic Sipat software products closely integrated to provide a versatile solution for advanced control and optimization applications in both continuous and batch pharmaceutical manufacturing. The interest to have APC integrated into a PAT platform is growing significantly within the Life Sciences Industry. Thus, the goal of this collaboration is to offer the Pharmaceutical Industry the integrated combination of technologies that have - independently from each other - established a proven track record in the past decade.

• Distributed Simatic automation controllers for standard and fail-safe applications up to Performance Level e
• Compact devices with functions of a PC-based software controller, visualization, Windows applications and central I/Os
• World's only software controller with fail-safe, PC-based control which is operated independently of the operating system

Siemens is extending its Simatic automation controller series for PC-based applications. The distributed automation controllers now include the new, more powerful Simatic ET 200SP Open Controller CPU 1515SP PC 2 – for standard and fail-safe applications up to Performance Level e. The new Open Controller, which is particularly suitable for series machine building, combines the functions of a PC-based software controller with visualization, Windows applications and central I/Os (inputs/outputs) in a single compact device The new, fail-safe CPU1516pro-2 PN for the Simatic ET 200pro Distributed Controller also performs standard and fail-safe automation tasks up to Performance Level e in a single device.

• From February 5-9, Siemens will present concrete solutions for ways that companies and investors can shape the digital future.
• Digitalization opens up huge potential for small and mid-sized companies in the manufacturing industry – with productivity gains of up to 10 percent.
• In the energy and infrastructure markets, efficiency gains are used to attain a large degree of sustainability.
• These efforts will require extensive investments, which are made easier with innovative financing solutions like pay-per-outcome financing, software financing and project financing.

During the opening session of Siemens Finance Week in the Siemens Technology and Application Center in Erlangen, about 60 decision-makers from small- and medium-sized enterprises learned about the potential of digitalization and ways that new, customer-centric business models can be introduced with the help of financing solutions. The Company Barometer prepared by the German Chambers of Commerce and Industry shows that 68 percent of small and medium-sized enterprises in Germany see opportunities for new digital business models. The optimization potential is enormous: In the manufacturing industry alone, according to the results of a Siemens Financial Services white paper, productivity can be boosted by up to 10 percent through continued digitalization. Figures from the United Nations Committee on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) indicate that this would amount to business volume of approx. €650 billion globally and €60 billion in Germany.
