- SensgearTM technology launch for digital connectivity of switchgear products
- New Sensformer® advanced with applications based on digital twin simulation of transformers
- Portfolio extension comes with comprehensive data analytics for added transparency, enhanced productivity, and advanced intelligence
Siemens is introducing Sensgear, its new digital switchgear portfolio, and the Sensformer advanced at this year's Hannover Messe. With the combination of the already well-established digitally connected transformer, the Sensformer, and the new Sensgear technology, all substation transmission assets are now fully connective, allowing operators to check their status via online applications in real time. Gas-insulated switchgear, circuit breakers, surge arresters, disconnectors, instrument transformers, and coil products will henceforth be equipped with Sensgear technology. All devices are connected via a smart and robust Internet of Things (IoT) gateway that securely transmits the required information to a cloud-based storage and visualization platform. All Sensgear products provide additional transparency with GPS and local weather information as well as product-specific measurement data that includes gas density, liquid temperature, gas leakage, and switching position.
- Improving engineering and production processes
Siemens is intensifying its cooperation with the EDAG Group as a leading global independent engineering company for the automotive industry, in order to further promote industrial applications of additive manufacturing (AM) and to make engineering and production processes more efficient. Based on many years of successful project-specific collaboration in factory and production planning, in the field of engineering the innovative "NextGenerationSpaceframe 2.0" project will be presented at the Hannover Messe from April 1 to 5, 2019 at the Siemens booth (Hall 9, Booth D35) as the clear result of this successful cooperation.
- Services support first use of Siemens H-class turbine in an aluminum smelting facility globally
- Siemens' first long-term service agreement in the UAE for an H-class turbine
- Power services will ensure reliable operations for stable power production
Emirates Global Aluminum (EGA), the world's largest 'premium aluminum' producer, and Siemens announced the first power services agreement for an H-class gas turbine in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

On the first day of the Hannover Messe, April 1, Klaus Helmrich welcomed you to the annual Siemens Press Conference. As member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, Klaus Helmrich is responsible for the Digital Industries Operating Company. The Press Conference took place at 6:30 PM in the Trade Fair's Convention Center, Room 1 A/B.
Mr. Helmrich talked about the latest developments of digitalization and the next step towards the digital transformation in the manufacturing and process industries under the theme "Digital Enterprise – Thinking industry further!".
- New development – Simatic PCS neo sets new standards in process automation
- Intuitive usability and a single workbench for all tasks
- Consistent object-oriented data management
- Unique, global, web-based collaboration in engineering and operation
- Scalable from small process modules up to the largest process plants in the world
Siemens sets new standards in process automation and is launching an innovative web-based process control system for all industries at the Hannover Messe. Simatic PCS neo is a brand-new system software, which offers companies in the process industry unique opportunities in the age of digitalization. Main features include global web-based collaboration in engineering and operation and intuitive handling representing all relevant information in a single workbench.
- Highest computing and graphic performance through up to two Intel Xeon CPUs and Nvidia Quadro P5000 GPUs
- Platform for artificial intelligence (AI), automatic learning, edge computing and machine vision
- High degree of expandability through six PCIe slots, six USB interfaces and a serial port
- Product designed for industrial environments with full-metal enclosure and high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
With the Simatic IPC1047, Siemens is launching an industrial PC platform onto the market which is distinguished by the highest computing and graphic performance. The new device is equipped with the most modern hardware components – two Intel Xeon processors E5 of the v4 series, two GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) Nvidia Quadro P5000 – and comes with a 19" rack design. The IPC in a rugged, full-metal enclosure can handle applications with high performance requirements, such as big data analyses, and thus offers a platform for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, edge computing, and machine vision.
- Data interface according to OMAC PackML
- First implementation of companion specification in a controller
Siemens has succeeded in implementing an OPC UA data interface in a Simatic S7-1500 controller according to a companion specification. The OMAC PackML (Packaging Machine Language) makes it easier for end customers and line integrators to integrate packaging machines and connect them to line or MES systems, thus simplifying the evaluation and control of individual machines.
- This year's trade fair slogan: "Digital Enterprise – Thinking industry further!"
- Enhanced portfolio: cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and Edge computing increase productivity and flexibility
At Hannover Messe, Siemens is presenting numerous additions to its Digital Enterprise portfolio for the next level of digital transformation in the discrete and process industries. At the center of its booth, Siemens is using a model for the automotive industry to show how the unique portfolio of industrial software and automation technology seamlessly connects the virtual and real worlds. Using cloud and Edge-based data analyses together with other future-oriented technologies, such as additive manufacturing and autonomous manufacturing systems, creates new possibilities in the areas of efficiency and flexibility.
- Re-use of domain-specific simulation models
- Standardized interfaces for more system openness
- Real-time simulation of systems and machinery
Siemens has extended its Simit simulation platform for virtual commissioning and operator training to include numerous new functions. The additions in Version 10.1 improve the simulation of automation applications through the re-use of various domain-specific simulation models over the entire lifecycle of manufacturing and process systems. Improved performance, openness and flexibility make the solution even easier to use, supporting the user in the creation of a comprehensive and integrated simulation.
