• 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. 

• Maximizing performance and efficiency with innovative drives solution
• Three power plants will be equipped with latest-generation power generation equipment

The current increase of packaging and pulp demand in the fiber industry is accompanied by numerous challenges, including fluctuating costs of energy and raw materials. Siemens energy-efficient concepts and solutions are designed to help the paper industry set new global standards for efficiency, performance, and sustainability. A recent example is a project in Germany, where Siemens will help paper and packaging producer Palm increase its plant efficiency by providing a holistic energy concept. This includes the electrification of a new paper-machine production line and a new power plant equipped with the latest-generation gas turbine.

• Simatic S7-1500 controller with expanded motion control functionality and Sinamics S120 drive control in one device – thus saving space
• Powerful for high-end applications, with integrated safety functionality for the controller and drive
• Extensive communication interfaces, technology I/Os, as well as cross-PLC synchronous operation for an easy implementation of modular machine concepts
• Proven engineering in the TIA Portal

Siemens is expanding its product portfolio of technology CPUs with the Simatic Drive Controller. The new controller combines a Simatic S7-1500 controller with motion control, technology and safety functionality with a Sinamics S120 drive control in one device, thus saving space. This makes it easy to implement requirements for powerful, compact and flexible automation solutions. The high performance of the new controller is particularly beneficial for applications with many axes where a multi-axis drive system is used – for example in packaging, printing and textile machines.

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. 

• Extension of seamless software and automation solutions in the Digital Enterprise portfolio drive forward the industrialization of additive manufacturing for machine builders and users 
• Expansion of partner network advances industrial additive applications
• New: AM factory planning now offered by IoT Services Consulting
• Siemens Additive Manufacturing Network is now globally available

Under the slogan “Thinking industrialized Additive Manufacturing further!”, Siemens is exhibiting at Formnext 2019, the leading global trade fair dedicated to additive manu-facturing and all of its upstream and downstream processes, where it will present its entire solution portfolio for industrialized additive manufacturing, tailored to specific in-dustries. With the Digital Enterprise portfolio, the company is offering a comprehen¬sive end-to-end solution for the entire value chain from function-driven design through manufacturing to services. The portfolio of industrial software and automation also in-cludes leading simulation software and CNC technology. With its Digital Enterprise portfolio, Siemens supports the complete use of digital twins, which simulate the real world for machine manufacturers and users in order to ensure the correct manufac-ture of a component on the very first attempt.

• Contract awarded to Siemens for 2.2 megawatt PEM electrolysis plant
• Salzgitter Wind Hydrogen energy project gathers pace
• Goal is to achieve low-CO2 steelmaking based on Salzgitter’s innovative SALCOS technology concept

Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH (SZFG) has awarded the contract to build a 2.2 megawatt PEM electrolysis plant (PEM = Proton Exchange Membrane) to Siemens Gas and Power, marking an important step towards hydrogen-based steelmaking. The plant is due to commence operation in the 4th quarter of 2020 and cover SZFG’s entire current demand for hydrogen. The necessary electrical power will be generated by seven wind turbines with a capacity of 30 megawatt. These will be erected by Avacon AG on the Salzgitter Group site and will likewise enter service from 2020.

• Railsystems RP GmbH orders two locomotives from Siemens Mobility
• Sustainable concept: a combined diesel and electric locomotive
• Delivery at the end of 2020

Railsystems RP GmbH has ordered two Vectron Dual Mode locomotives from Siemens Mobility, marking the first order for the new locomotive that can be operated either as a diesel or electric unit. Siemens Mobility first presented the concept at the InnoTrans 2018. 

Siemens Digital Industries Software today announced Additive Manufacturing (AM) Path Optimizer, a beta technology integrated in NX™ software, to help customers solve overheating challenges and help reduce scrap and increase production yield to achieve the industrialization of AM, or the use of AM at the industrial scale. Siemens has developed this next generation advanced simulation technology to help maximize the production yield and quality of powder bed fusion manufactured parts. This latest extension of Siemens’ end-to-end additive manufacturing solution feeds the digital thread, informing each step of the industrialized additive manufacturing process.

• Acquisition to expand ability to create a comprehensive digital twin with addition of material modeling
• Siemens to integrate MultiMechanics’ TRUE Multiscale simulation technology with Simcenter 3D software to accelerate innovation and adoption of advanced materials

Siemens announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire MultiMechanics, Inc., developer of MultiMech finite element software that helps companies virtually predict failure in advanced materials at an unprecedented level of speed and accuracy. The company plans to integrate MultiMechanics into Siemens Digital Industries Software, which will add the ability for customers to create a digital twin of materials by closely integrating materials engineering with part design, performance engineering, and manufacturing through the unique TRUE Multiscale™ technology for a broad range of material-driven applications. MultiMechanics’ technology helps companies to efficiently predict material properties and behavior, including failure starting at the microstructural level, at an unprecedented level of speed and accuracy. This unique technology will be incorporated into Simcenter™ software within Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio, implementing materials engineering into the digital workflow and establishing a pervasive link between material developers, manufacturing process developers and part designers.
