With the new version of the powermanager power monitoring software, power data can now be directly transferred into open, cloud-based IoT operating systems such as MindSphere. The software is part of the Sentron portfolio from Siemens for energy management in industrial plants and buildings, and assists companies in boosting their energy efficiency and availability. It displays status information and electrical characteristics for complete plants and systems as well as individual devices in a clearly-arranged dashboard and analyzes energy flows. This allows for derivation of optimization measures for energy efficiency and availability and for quick pinpointing of faults in the plants. The integration of data in cloud systems enables the storage, processing and the cross-site analysis of large volumes of data. The power monitoring software is optimally suited for small to medium-sized companies seeking to implement digital energy management. The investment costs are low and can be quickly amortized through savings potential. The new version of the powermanager will be presented at Hannover Messe 2019 and is available from May 2019.
- This year’s trade fair slogan: Digitalization in Intralogistics – Implement now!
- Implementation of the Digital Enterprise portfolio for machine builders and operators throughout the value chain in intralogistics
- Highlights: AGVs (automatic guided vehicles), storage and retrieval machine concepts, and localization systems
From February 19 - 21, 2019, Siemens will be showcasing digitalization, automation and drive solutions for logistics processes at Logimat, the international trade fair for intralogistics solutions. Under the banner "Digitalization in Intralogistics – Implement now!" in Hall 3, Booth D11, Siemens will be demonstrating how its Digital Enterprise portfolio successfully facilitates digital transformation in intralogistics for both machine builders and operators. The focus is on automation and drive concepts for conveyor technology, storage and retrieval machines, and automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) as well as the offer for single-source, turn-key solutions and sorting solutions for post, parcel, luggage, and cargo. Businesses are therefore able to extend the digitalization process at any point along the value chain of an intralogistics system on a step-by-step basis and optimize the individual process steps, moving from the machine and system concept, through engineering and commissioning, to actual operation and service. This holistic approach from Siemens makes it the only company in the intralogistics sector which is capable of consistently mapping the actual machine builder’s and operator’s process chain in the virtual environment.
- Powerline technology added to Sivacon 8PS busbar trunking systems
- Current and data are transmitted in parallel via the conductors
- Additional data cables and complex cabling are no longer needed
At this year's Hannover Messe trade fair, Siemens will present new functionality for the BD2, LD, and LI busbar trunking systems from the Sivacon 8PS portfolio. In the future the powerline technology will allow busbars to transmit not only current but also data. The company is thus making another contribution to increased flexibility, transparency, and efficiency for power distribution in the digital age.
With the 7KN powercenter3000 IoT data platform, Siemens is expanding its digitalization solutions for electrical power distribution in industry, infrastructure and buildings. Thanks to the intelligent data collector, power and system data from up to 40 connected measuring and protection devices can be collected and transmitted, among other destinations, to local energy management systems or directly into open, cloud-based IoT operating systems such as MindSphere. The data is pre-processed and bundled in packets, which reduces the transmission volume. The processing, visualization and evaluation of the data occur using an integrated Web interface, the powermanager power monitoring software or special cloud applications. The 7KN powercenter3000 enables even small and medium-sized companies a quick, flexible and economical introduction into cloud-based energy management. Thanks to the systematic detection and analysis of data, operations become more energy efficient and fail-safe. The expansion of existing power monitoring systems with a cloud connection is easily possible at any time. The IoT data platform 7KN powercenter3000, will be showcased for the first time at the Hannover Messe 2019 and is available starting in June 2019.
- 18-year service agreement for Shuweihat S2 IWPP in Abu Dhabi
- Digital services and extended intervals for optimized maintenance cost
- Comprehensive cybersecurity solutions to reduce cyber threats
Siemens today announced it has signed an extension of a multi-year maintenance service agreement with Shuweihat S2 Operation and Maintenance Company (S2O&M). Under terms of the contract, Siemens will support the 1,500 megawatt (MW) combined-cycle power and water plant, Shuweihat S2 IWPP (Independent Water and Power Plant), in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. With the new 18-year extension, Siemens will also deploy products from its Omnivise digital services portfolio including cybersecurity solutions to help improve asset visibility, reliability and availability.
- Siemens Mobility electrifies extension of the Circle Line Stage 6 and the North East Line
- Third order for Siemens Mobility in Singapore within one year
- Order worth around €70 million
Siemens Mobility has been commissioned by Singapore’s Land Transport Authority with the electrification of the Circle Line Stage 6 and the North East Line extension (NELe) in Singapore. The order is worth around €70 million and includes delivery of the rail electrification system (direct and alternating current) as well as the overhead power lines for the NELe.
On September 26, 2017 Siemens and Alstom have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to combine Siemens' mobility business, including its rail traction drives business, with Alstom. The transaction brings together two innovative players of the railway market with unique customer value and operational potential. The two businesses are largely complementary in terms of activities and geographies. Siemens will receive newly issued shares in the combined company representing 50 percent of Alstom's share capital on a fully diluted basis.On February 6, 2019 the European Commission has announced its decision to prohibit the proposed combination of the Siemens and Alstom mobility businesses. As a result of this prohibition, the merger will not proceed. Siemens and Alstom regret that the remedies they offered, including recent improvements, have been considered insufficient by the EU Commission.
The Siemens Zug campus features a new office building with 1,000 work spaces and a newly constructed production building. The Siemens Zug campus is one of the first new projects to use Building Information Modeling (BIM) for design and construction. The campus complex is equipped with building automation, security and fire safety technology from Siemens BT and particular emphasis was placed on sustainability and energy efficiency of the buildings.
