- Two new edge devices enable scalability of industrial edge offering for machine tools
- Analyze My Workpiece /Capture now also captures
data from external sensors
- Software applications available via Machine
Tool Software Store
Siemens is
expanding its Industrial Edge offering for machine tools with two new edge
devices. In addition to the already available IPC227E, there is now the
IPC127E, an entry-level device, and the IPC427E, the most powerful edge device
for machine tools. The IPC127E serves as an entry-level solution to provide
connectivity and performance for simple use cases. With the IPC427E, Siemens is
launching a device with sufficient computing power to meet the demands of
AI-based edge applications and sophisticated data analytics. The new Simatic
ET200 adapter also offers the possibility of connecting additional external
sensors and acquiring their data at a sampling rate of up to 10kHz. For this
purpose, the already known edge application Analyze MyWorkpiece /Capture has
received an update. In addition to data on the workpiece, tool and tool path,
this app can now also record data from external sensors in high temporal
resolution. As a novelty, the app can also stream process data via MQTT to an
external MQTT endpoint. In addition, users can visualize the workpiece of a
5-axis machining operation with the newly developed online coordinate
retransformation from the machine coordinate system to the workpiece coordinate
system. This is interesting because the visualization of the machining axes in
visualization applications such as Analyze MyWorkpiece /Toolpath gives no
indication of the machined workpiece. All other recorded data can subsequently
be visualized and analyzed with Analyze MyWorkpiece /Toolpath. The insights
gained enable optimization of the CAD/CAM model and the generated NC program. In
addition, Analyze MyWorkpiece /Toolpath now allows the creation of a realistic
surface reconstruction using process data recorded with Industrial Edge for
Machine Tools. This allows the workpiece quality to be evaluated before a
workpiece has even been manufactured, because the surface reconstruction also
works with process data from an air cut.
- Siemens
Mobility to build 23 4-car Mireo trains for the Regensburg/Danube Valley rail
network
- The Mireo
trains will be delivered to operator agilis in 2024
- Commissioning
by December 2024
Siemens Mobility has received an order to build 23 4-car Mireo trainsets for rail operator agilis Eisenbahngesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, a subsidiary of BeNEX GmbH. The trainsets will be delivered for the Regensburg/Danube Valley rail network in 2024 and are scheduled to enter passenger service in December that year. The Bavarian Railways Company (Bayerische Eisenbahngesellschaft or BEG), which plans, finances and controls regional and commuter rail operations on behalf of the state of Bavaria, had called for bids for new trains for parts of its network. The Mireo trains will serve on the new RE Line 50 (Nuremberg – Regensburg – Plattling) and the RB Line 51 (Neumarkt – Regensburg – Plattling).
- Sinumerik One is in operation at the BMW Group plant in Steyr, Austria
- High performance through integrated Simatic S7-1500F
Siemens supplies automation hardware and software to the BMW Group. The automation solution includes, among other things, the new generation of the Sinumerik One CNC control, which offers digital possibilities to increase productivity in production. The new automation portfolio will be used at the Steyr production plant in Austria to produce the electric drive housing. It will also help to transform production for the digital age. Siemens and the BMW Group have a long-standing partnership. The success of both companies is based on driving innovation and developing forward-looking technologies, while at the same time focusing on sustainability.
- New NCU 1740 for higher scalability of Sinumerik One
- Sinumerik Run MyRobot /Direct Control V2.0 and Run MyRobot /Direct Handling V2.0 available for Sinumerik One
- New functions for the Digital Twin in Create MyVirtual Machine and Run MyVirtual Machine
Siemens is expanding its offering for the "Digital Native" CNC Sinumerik One. Two years after its market launch, the technology company is presenting numerous innovations in hardware and software for the Sinumerik One at EMO Milano and the virtual Siemens Machine Tool Days. In this context, Siemens is demonstrating how the powerful machine tool controller can be used in a highly productive, flexible, and modular way and in the best possible way for digital transformation. In terms of hardware, the new NCU 1740 complements the existing NCU 1750 and 1760 as well as the PPU 1740, thus expanding its use in modular machines.
- Digitalizing and structuring organizational knowledge through knowledge graphs
- Building towards enriched and contextualized IoT-data service provision and AI-leveraged user self-service experience through chatbots
- Transforming today’s customer service processes and democratizing accessibility of organizational knowledge
In times of digital transformation, servicing drive systems with fully enabled access to all related data becomes a critical capability for ensured customer satisfaction and efficient business processes. One of the key levers to accomplish this resides in the transactional availability and exploitability of organizational knowledge in any form over their product-lifecycle of drive systems to facilitate collaboration, answer technical or commercial questions, expedite evidence-based decisions and back-up triggered operational activities.
- First call for ten Vectron
locomotives with an option for 20 additional units in the coming years
- Contract including maintenance
- Largest order for Siemens
multisystem locomotives in Poland
Cargounit, the largest independent locomotive leasing company in Poland,
has ordered up to 30 Vectron MS locomotives from Siemens Mobility. The
framework agreement includes the delivery of ten units by the end of 2023 and
an option for 20 additional locomotives by 2024 as well as the maintenance of
the vehicles. The first two locomotives will be delivered this year. The
locomotives are planned for service in Poland, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia, the Netherlands and
optionally Romania and Bulgaria. The leasing company previously ordered six
locomotives from Siemens Mobility in 2018 and 2019. Cargounit’s Vectron fleet
could grow to 36 locomotives by 2024.

- New brewery building equipped with Siemens power distribution technology for medium
and low voltage
- Innovative fluorine gas-free medium-voltage switchgear contributes to greater sustainability
- Digitalized low-voltage technology increases safety, efficiency and
economy in operation
C. & A. Veltins, one of Germany’s
largest breweries, has set itself the goal of becoming one of the most modern
and sustainable breweries in Germany by the time it celebrates its 200th
anniversary in 2024. Siemens Smart Infrastructure is supplying technology to
ensure the sustainable energy supply of a new building at the company's
headquarters in the town of Grevenstein in the Sauerland region, where a new
bottling plant will go into operation in 2022. The centerpiece is the new 8DJH
12 blue GIS fluorine gas-free medium-voltage switchgear. It completely
eliminates the greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as well as other
fluorine gases. Instead, the switchgear uses the climate-neutral Clean Air
insulation gas, which consists exclusively of natural components of the ambient
air. The system is supplemented by low-voltage technology with digital
measurement and communication functions for safe and efficient power
distribution.
