- Fully integrated electric-drive centrifugal compression configuration will significantly reduce footprint, capital, and operating costs
- Project marks this Delaware Basin gas plant customer's first order with Siemens
Siemens was recently awarded a contract to provide three residue compression trains for two, 250 million (500 million total) standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) cryogenic gas plants in the Delaware Basin. The customer, a key producer in the region and long-term user of reciprocating compression equipment, recognized the benefits of centrifugal compression and looked to Siemens for a fully integrated, turnkey solution that includes compressors, motors, variable frequency drives, and associated process equipment.
- Replacement of gas turbine from another OEM with an SGT-800
- Installation of a SIESTART battery storage solution for blackstart capability
- Customized solution requires comprehensive engineering expertise
Siemens has received an order from BASF Schwarzheide GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of BASF SE, to modernize the industrial power plant in Schwarzheide, Germany with key components. The Brownfield Exchange project involves replacing a gas turbine from another original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with a new, highly efficient industrial gas turbine from Siemens as well as servicing this machine for a period of 15 years. In addition, Siemens will install a SIESTART battery storage solution that will enable the entire power plant to start up independently of an external power supply.
- Sinamics Intelligent Operator Panel IOP-2 supports local operation, monitoring, setup, diagnostics and service of all Sinamics G series converters
- IOP-2 also includes applications and functions for advanced setup of the Sinamics G120X
Siemens is extending the functionality of the proven Sinamics IOP-2 for Sinamics G series converters to include the FW V2.3 SP1 firmware update. This improves local setup, operation, monitoring, diagnostics and service of all Sinamics G series converters. The FW V2.3 SP1 update also provides users with the additional benefit of transferring special application functions into the project menu. These application functions are then easily accessible from a list which simplifies the setup of the selected functions using the Quick Start or Advanced Startup options. As a result, users can run their applications without requiring any specialist knowledge of the operating parameters.
- 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.
