• Successful collaboration in both software and hardware for additive manufacturing further extended
• New CNC Sinumerik One to be integrated successively into the entire machine fleet

BeAM, a leading machine manufacturer in the field of DED (Directed Energy Deposition) technology for additive manufacturing, and the global technology company Siemens announced at EMO 2019 their plans to further intensify their already successful collaboration. This is based on the successful piloting of Sinumerik One, the new CNC generation from Siemens. As a "digital native", the new controller features software for the creation of digital twins, which supports the seamless integration of hardware and software. BeAM is the first machine builder to equip an additive manufacturing machine - Modulo 250 - with a Sinumerik One. At EMO 2019, the world's first AM machine equipped with a Sinumerik One will be presented to the public at the Siemens booth in Hall 9, Booth H50. Visitors to EMO can see how the program simulation is operated on the machine using the Digital Twin of Production in the NX Virtual Machine software. „We are very excited to close the loop in the additive digital chain by bridging virtual simulation and actual deposition on our new Modulo 250 thanks to the integration of the new Sinumerik One. It opens up new possibilities for our industrial customers willing to integrate further DED in their value chain and optimize its usage “, explains BeAM’s CEO Vincent Gillet.

Lisa Davis will subsequently support the President and CEO of Siemens AG in an advisory capacity until her contract expires.

• 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.

• Facilities in Baiji will power Iraq’s biggest refinery and deliver electricity to thousands of homes in liberated areas
• Siemens equipment includes E-class gas turbines, substations and generators
• Project is start of Phase 2 of Siemens’ Roadmap for Iraq and will be completed 28 months after financial closing by Iraq’s government

Siemens and Orascom Construction signed an agreement with Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity to rebuild Baiji 1 and Baiji 2 power plants in northern Iraq. The 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.
