- Scalance MUM856-1 connects local industrial applications to public 5G, 4G, and 3G mobile wireless networks
- Router supports future-oriented applications such as remote access via public 5G networks or the connection of mobile devices such as automated guided vehicles in industry
- Robust version in IP65 housing for use outside the control cabinet
- Prototypes of Siemens 5G infrastructure for private networks already in use at several sites
The Scalance
MUM856-1 – the first industrial 5G router from Siemens – is available now. The
device connects local industrial applications to public 5G, 4G (LTE), and 3G
(UMTS) mobile wireless networks. The router can be used to remotely monitor and
service plants, machines, control elements, and other industrial devices via a public
5G network – flexibly and with high data rates. Demand for this type of
solution is growing in industry. In addition, the device can be integrated into
private 5G networks. The Scalance MUM856-1 therefore supports future-oriented
applications such as mobile robots in manufacturing, autonomous vehicles in
logistics or augmented reality applications for service technicians. Thanks to
a robust IP65 housing, the router can also be used outside the control cabinet,
for example under harsh conditions in production or in outdoor facilities in
the water industry.
Turkish State Railways (TCDD) has ordered Velaro high-speed trains from Siemens Mobility.The first Velaro Turkey was ordered in 2013 and went into passenger service between Ankara and Konya in May 2015. At the same time, TCDD signed a second contract with Siemens for six eight-car high-speed trains. The last twelve eight-car Velaro TR trains were ordered in 2018 and 2019. The contract included maintenance, repair, and cleaning of the trains for a period of three years. With the delivery well ahead of schedule, a record time for the start of passenger operation could be achieved. On average, the time between the contract signing and passenger operation amounts to 24 months.
- €231 million contract to install an electronic interlocking signaling
system at 68 stations and cover 450 km of Taiwan Railway
- Upgrades will improve the
rail capacity, safety, efficiency and enhance passenger experience
Siemens Mobility is pleased to announce that it has
signed a €231 million contract with the Taiwan Railways
Administration (TRA) for the implementation of the “Taiwan Railway Smart
Electrical Systems Upgrade and Signalling Interlocking System Update Project.” The project primarily
consists of replacing existing Relay Interlockings with new Electronic
Interlocking (or EI) Systems at 68 stations that will cover 450 km of the island’s approximately 1110 km
total railway network. As part of this contract, Siemens
Mobility will provide 10 years of maintenance and the customer also reserves
the right to procure EI systems for 10-additional stations. The modernization of the signaling
system will allow the TRA to better optimize the
operation and maintenance of the rail network.
- Turkish
State Railways (TCDD) receives final train delivery from Siemens Mobility
- A total of
19 Velaro trains were ordered between 2013 and 2019
- Record time
for the start of passenger service
Siemens Mobility has completed the delivery
of high-speed Velaro trains ordered by the Turkish State Railways (TCDD)
between 2013 and 2019. As of June 2021, the whole Velaro fleet is expected to
be available for the commercial services.
Siemens has
announced its AI Anomaly Assistant Industrial App, which uses artificial
intelligence (AI) to detect anomalies in the process industry and assess their
business relevance. This gives companies new opportunities for the economical
optimization of their processes. The app analyzes process events that affect
parameters such as productivity, availability, and quality, and alerts the
plant operator to any anomalies. These events and anomalies are no longer
simply identified, but also scrutinized for their business relevance—an
assessment which was previously only possible based on previous experience.
To enable
the AI to detect and evaluate business-relevant anomalies, the machine-learning
algorithms are trained on the basis of process data and then concentrated to
determine which anomalies have an impact on the economic efficiency of the
plant. The plant operator themself then defines the further focus of the AI using
the app dashboard, where anomalies can be selected, evaluated and commented. This
evaluation phase is accompanied by several feedback loops, so that the plant
operator ends up with well-trained, focused AI that is able to evaluate
anomalies, based on the process data, for their business relevance. The AI
Anomaly Assistant app is installed either as a cloud application or within the
user's own infrastructure, for example on a Simatic Box PC or a virtual
machine. The cloud-based solution is particularly advantageous during the
training and evaluation phase, since it supports efficient collaboration
between data analysts and plant operators. In addition, it also allows the
results of anomaly detection to be combined with other services, such as
predictive asset management, as part of the Asset Performance Suite (APS).

- Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU) signed
- Siemens Mobility and the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nuremberg for Renewable Energy agree on joint research for the use of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) technology in rail transport
The
use of hydrogen technology in rail transport is becoming increasingly important
as a solution for reducing CO2 emissions and helping to meet climate
targets. In recent years, Siemens Mobility has developed a hydrogen-powered
train, the Mireo Plus H. In this technology, hydrogen is tanked in gas form and
must be kept under high pressure in order to achieve the required high density.
- Purchaser is EntechWorld, end customer is Korea
National Railway
- Control centers ensure safe and reliable power supply for railway
infrastructure
- General power and traction power to be controlled and monitored
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has won a contract to deliver the main
control centers, based on Spectrum Power, to the Korean engineering company
EntechWorld headquartered in Seoul. The end customer is the national railroad
operator Korea National Railway. Starting in 2024,
the main SCADA control centers will control and monitor
the Korean railway system with more than 4,000 kilometers of tracks and about
3.5 million passengers daily. The control centers will ensure the reliable supply of energy to the entire rail network to
meet the highest security, safety and quality standards.
