- Digitalization enhances flexibility, speed, efficiency and quality
- Innovations in power distribution, automation and drive technology as well as industrial software
- MindSphere extended to include partnerships, apps and interfaces
At the Hannover Messe 2017, Siemens will be demonstrating how industrial companies of all sizes can benefit from the digital transformation. The central focus of the 3,500-square meter booth in Hall 9 will be on the company's further extended portfolio for the achievement of end-to-end digitalization, known as the "Digital Enterprise". An array of examples from practice will allow visitors to experience applications and innovations demonstrating the competitive benefits to be gained by merging the real and the virtual worlds. These include greater flexibility, efficiency and quality as well as a reduced time-to-market. The examples on show range from smart energy management systems through customized food and pharmaceutical production to industrial-scale additive manufacturing based on innovative automation and drive technology. Siemens is also driving forward the expansion of its cloud-based, open IoT operating system MindSphere with the addition of new partnerships, interfaces and apps.
- "Realize the value of the Digital Enterprise Suite – Industrialize Additive Manufacturing" as this year's booth slogan
- Seamless integrated software and automation solutions for additive manufacturing aimed at machine builders and users
- Innovative value-add services to further speed up the industrialization of additive manufacturing
- Engineering and printing services through to complete additive manufacturing of parts by Material Solutions and Mobility Services
At this year's formnext, the leading trade fair for additive manufacturing (AM), Siemens will be showcasing its seamless integrated solutions for additive manufacturing with the Digital Enterprise Suite. At its booth stretching over an area of around 150 square meters, the company will be demonstrating its portfolio along the entire AM value chain at the show from 14 to 17 November under the banner "Realize the Value of the Digital Enterprise Suite – Industrialize Additive Manufacturing". Products featured at the show cover everything from design and engineering software, simulation tools and matching hardware for complete machine and factory automation through to machine networking with the cloud-based IoT operating system MindSphere. Designed to address the requirements of both machine builders and additive manufacturing users, this unique offering from Siemens aims to demonstrate how companies working in the field of additive manufacturing can use digitalization to significantly boost the flexibility and efficiency of their production, reduce both engineering time and time to market, and so consolidate and expand their competitive standing in the global marketplace.
- The TÜV SÜD certificate based on IEC 62443
confirms Siemens security in the development process for automation products
- Siemens is the first company worldwide with a
TÜV SÜD-certified development process based on IEC 62443-4-1
- Secure development is an important component
in the "Defense in Depth" protection concept
As the first
company to receive TÜV SÜD certification based on IEC 62443-4-1 for the
interdisciplinary process of developing Siemens automation and drive products,
including industrial software, Siemens received the certification at seven
development sites in Germany. Among other things, these sites are developing
Simatic S7 industrial controllers, Simatic industrial PCs, Simatic HMI (Human
Machine Systems Interface) devices for operator control and monitoring, and
Sinamics drives as well as the TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal
engineering software. The international series of standards IEC 62443 defines
the security measures for industrial automation systems, with Part 4-1 of the
standard describing the requirements of the manufacturer's development process.
- 21 four-car metro trains
- Option for another 13 trains
- Pre-equipped for automated operation
Contracts have now been officially exchanged for the announced order from the VAG Verkehrs-Aktiengesellschaft (traffic stock corporation) for 21 metro trains from Siemens. Two options to deliver up to an additional 13 trains is also part of the contract. The new four-car trains G1 type are earmarked for service on Nuremberg's U1 line. Delivery is scheduled for mid-2018. The trains will be built in the Siemens plant in Vienna, Austria. Core components of the G1 will be manufactured in the Nuremberg metropolitan area and include such products as the drive converters, traction motors, auxiliary converter units and control equipment. The project management, development and service support will be provided from Erlangen.
The discovery of the dynamo-electric principle has brought about greater changes to the way our society lives than practically any other scientific breakthrough. By inventing the dynamo machine, not only did Werner von Siemens help bring about the advent of electrical machinery, he was also instrumental in accelerating and facilitating industrial processes. Seen from the perspective of society, this completely changed accepted concepts of time and mobility.
"Lead the TRANSITion" was the motto of this year's UITP International Mass Transit Trade Show in Montreal. At the bi-annual Global Public Transport Summit, the Siemens Mobility Division was again be represented this year with intelligent mobility solutions. From May 15 to 17, 2017, at booth (SK100) on Level 02 of the Conference Center, Siemens was showcasing integrated and sustainable transport solutions which help to get the best out of existing infrastructures – using not only state-of-the-art hardware but also intelligent management systems. This is the only way to deliver future-proof mobility services in the face of rising energy costs, limited space and growing demands. Digitalization of proven transport solutions plays a key role in achieving this goal, as it allows availability and passenger comfort to be improved and throughput to be maximized.
The three states of California, Illinois and Maryland have ordered a total of 34 diesel-electric locomotives from Siemens. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) ordered 14 locomotives to serve the Pacific Surfliner Amtrak route along the southern California coast from San Luis Obispo to San Diego via Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will expand its fleet with twelve locomotives. And the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) has ordered eight locomotives for the first time for the MARC commuter rail line that serves the cities of Baltimore, Brunswick, Frederick, Martinsburg and Washington D.C. as well as Harford County. With this order, Caltrans, IDOT and MTA have called up further locomotives from the framework contract signed in March 2014. This contract foresees the procurement of up to 222 locomotives for passenger service by a number of federal states. The locomotives will be built at the Siemens rail manufacturing plant in Sacramento, California.
