At EMO 2019 in Hanover, Siemens is presenting the latest services for the digitalization of machine tools. With its "Digital Transformation Awareness & Consulting CNC", Siemens offers a consulting service for the development of an individual digitalization strategy. In addition to workshops for the identification of action areas and development of the digitalization strategy, target group-specific training sessions provide more in-depth knowledge and promote wider acceptance of the digital transformation. With Brownfield Connectivity Services, Siemens is also offering additional services: using a gateway, users can connect both Sinumerik CNCs and controllers and automation solutions from third-party providers to higher-level networks. Digital Transformation Awareness & Consulting CNC and Brownfield Connectivity Services are part of Digital Motion Control Services, which enable Siemens to support its customers on the path toward digitalization.

• Smart grid solution to support growing demand for residential electric vehicle charging infrastructure
• Digitalization of low-voltage network enables electromobility growth
• Locally monitored and controlled home charging stations to relieve network
• Decentralized intelligence prevents network overload
• Pilot project in Hamburg aims to develop scalable, technical solutions

Growth in electromobility, along with the required charging infrastructure, presents distribution networks with enormous challenges. To address this, Siemens and Stromnetz Hamburg GmbH have started collaborating on a three-year pilot project aimed at avoiding extensive expansion of the low-voltage networks and preventing overload situations in secondary distribution networks. Applying a concept for resilient information and communication technology to digitalize secondary distribution networks, the project's goal is to facilitate stable and reliable operation of the low-voltage networks to ensure secure power supply as demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure grows.

• VinFast completed its automotive production within only 21 months
• Siemens' Digital Enterprise portfolio ensures VinFast's high manufacturing efficiency and product quality
• VinFast uses Xcelerator portfolio of software and Totally Integrated Automation (TIA)

VinFast, Vietnam's first volume car manufacturer, has successfully produced its first cars ahead of schedule using Siemens' portfolio of integrated software and hardware. By deploying its portfolio, Siemens helped VinFast achieve its automotive production timeline for building the factory, car design and start of the production in only 21 months, well ahead of an already ambitious schedule. This is half of the average time to build such a manufacturing plant. The VinFast plant in Hai Phong went live in June 2019 and has a total design capacity of 250,000 cars per year. The first vehicles have been E-Scooters, compact cars, sedans, and SUVs. These will be followed by battery electric passenger cars as well as electric buses.

• Xcelerator unites core Siemens Digital Industries software portfolio with Mendix multi-experience application development platform to power digital transformation and make it possible for anybody to easily build, integrate and extend existing data and systems
• Enables rapid innovation and validation of products during design, manufacturing and use through creation of an accurate digital twin
• To reflect its broad portfolio of industry leading industrial software, Siemens PLM Software becomes Siemens Digital Industries Software

Siemens today announced Xcelerator – an integrated portfolio of software, services and application development platform that can be personalized and adapted to fit customer and industry-specific needs to help companies of all sizes become digital enterprises. Xcelerator combines the full portfolio of Siemens' software for design, engineering and manufacturing with an expanded Mendix low-code, multi-experience application development platform. The Mendix platform now includes cloud and app services for digital engineering and Internet of Things (IoT) powered by MindSphere® the cloud-based, open IoT operating system from Siemens, in addition to Mendix's market-leading unified low-code and no-code development environments. Unique to Xcelerator, this platform drives digital transformation by enabling anyone in the ecosystem, including citizen developers and engineers to easily build, integrate and extend their existing data and systems. The company also announced that Siemens PLM Software has become Siemens Digital Industries Software, a change intended to reflect the growth in the company's ecosystem and portfolio of solutions, applications, tools and services that are driving digital transformation at organizations across the globe.

• Siemens to replace four floating power generation barges in the Upper Bay of New York City
• SeaFloat turnkey solution will provide reliable peaking power for New York City's renewable ambitions 
• Boost power generating efficiency by nearly 50 percent 
• 20-year long-term service agreement signed

Astoria Generating Company and Siemens signed a contract for the turnkey construction of two SeaFloat power barges to be equipped with eight Siemens SGT-A65 gas turbines. The barges will replace four existing power barges located at Gowanus Generating Station in the Upper Bay of Brooklyn, New York City, resulting in cleaner, more efficient energy production. Siemens will preinstall the high-efficiency power generating facilities on two newly constructed floating barges with a generation capacity of about 300 megawatts (MW) each. Retrofitting the station with SGT-A65 gas turbines and generators will improve the plants' power generating efficiency by nearly 50 percent while significantly reducing potential emissions of pollutants like carbon dioxide and monoxide – all while using the existing gas infrastructure. 

• Siemens' Teamcenter software weaves a digital thread of data through an enterprise's portfolio of plants and related projects, from capital project delivery into operations, to drive new efficiencies in design, construction, and operations as well as decrease project delivery costs and timeframes
• Bentley Systems Inc., whose iTwin™ cloud services enable project digital twins and asset performance digital twins for infrastructure engineering, provides comprehensive and scalable data exchange and change synchronization
• Solution benefits the discrete and process industries, including Energy, Consumer Goods, Automotive and Transportation industries

Siemens Digital Industries Software and Bentley Systems announce today the immediate availability of a new Capital Asset Lifecycle Management (CALM) solution for Teamcenter® software. This new solution, developed collaboratively by both companies, was created to address the challenges typically faced across an enterprise's greenfield and brownfield capital projects, including rampant delays and cost overruns, which can be caused by lack of system interoperability and a failure to appropriately leverage digitalization. These challenges can adversely affect the efficiency of the operational plant or system. To address these challenges and realize greater efficiency throughout the lifecycle of capital assets, Teamcenter CALM solutions help companies make the transition to digitalization for the planning, design, procurement, construction, and operation of capital assets. The Teamcenter CALM solution can consolidate asset data and weave a digital thread from project delivery into operations, enabling the creation of a closed-loop digital twin— the virtual representation of a physical asset—to visualize and simulate project designs, construction execution, and operational performance.
