- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
On the path to the future of energy, decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization are inextricably linked. The goal, after all, is intelligent, sustainable generation, provision, and use of energy. This requires integrative thinking and an eye for the big picture – from intelligent energy concepts to sector coupling, electromobility, and the integration of renewable energies in the power grid. At The smarter E Europe trade show, Siemens demonstrated how this combination of power generation, storage, distribution, and use functions in practice. The event brought together four exhibitions under one roof covering the core topics for the energy world of the future (Intersolar, Power2Drive, ees, EM-Power). In line with the trade fair motto "Take control: Be energy intelligent!" we presented innovative products and solutions for the grid integration of PV power plants, local energy systems, and for e-mobility ecosystems.
- Buildings connected in a microgrid support decentralized energy markets of the future
- Flexible energy consumption, storage and load balancing
- Ecological benefits for society as well as new revenue streams for buildings customers
Siemens Finland has created a new business to expand its virtual power plant activity: Vibeco (Virtual Buildings Ecosystem) is an innovative approach to increase the benefits of increasingly decentralized energy systems. The heart of the virtual power plant is a software platform, operated by Siemens, that intelligently balances electrical loads from buildings that have been connected in a microgrid, incorporating renewable energy and energy storage.
- Siemens drives forward digital transformation in the machine tool industry with a brand new Sinumerik generation
- Sinumerik ONE enables seamless interaction between virtual and real world for significantly increased productivity in the production and use of machine tools
- Scalable CNC-portfolio for highest performance requirements and optimum surface quality
With Sinumerik ONE, the first digital native CNC, Siemens is driving forward digital transformation in the machine tool industry. The new controller works with software to create the machine controller and associated digital twin from one engineering system and thus contributes to the seamless integration of hardware and software. Thanks to its seamless interaction between virtual and real world as well as high-performance hardware, Sinumerik ONE is setting new standards in terms of productivity, performance and digitalization. It is the future-proof CNC for machine tools in the increasingly digital world of manufacturing. Both machine manufacturers and machine operators benefit from the universal digital twin for the product, production and performance.
- AnalyzeMyWorkpiece /Monitor enables continuous monitoring of workpiece production
- Quality control takes place immediately during production
- New application extends the range of existing applications for quality assurance
With AnalyzeMyWorkpiece /Monitor, Siemens is extending its software portfolio for machine tools for workpiece quality. The Edge application based on high-frequency data, which will be presented at EMO 2019, enables continuous monitoring of workpiece production in machine tools. Measured values such as position data, torque values or control deviations together with context information, for example the tool currently being used, are acquired from the machine with high frequency and without feedback via Sinumerik Edge. The measured values are compared continuously with a reference model. In the event of deviations that exceed a predefined level, the application logs the result, sends it to the machine tool and enables prompt responses by the operator. This means, for example, that unique process-parallel quality control is supported during production.
