- 20 metro trains and train control system
- Option for ten additional trains after a line extension
- New line is to go into service in 2019
- Contract value without option of around 140 million euros
Metropolitan EAD, the metro operator of Sofia, Bulgaria, commissioned a consortium consisting of Siemens and the Polish train manufacturer Newag for equipping the new metro line 3 in the capital of Bulgaria. The order is worth around 140 million euros and comprises the delivery of 20 Inspiro type metro trains and the Trainguard MT automatic train protection system, using wireless CBTC technology (communications-based train control) to achieve automatic operation. An option for ten more trains and the related automation system is also part of the contract. The line is planned to be put into operation in 2019.
- New technology for more efficient use of autobahn truck parking spaces
- First pilot project in Germany operational on the A9 between Nuremberg and Munich
- Intelligent sensor system identifies free parking spaces
The number of heavy-load vehicles on the roads continues grow rapidly, with one study finding there is already a shortfall of almost 11,000 truck parking spaces across Germany's autobahn network. "The intelligent sensor system helps to make more efficient use of the existing parking spaces at rest areas," explains Siemens Project Manager Franz Pelzer. The new technology enables truck drivers to plan their rest periods better, in the process increasing safety for all road users.

- Siemens Xcelerator enables the scaling of additive manufacturing solutions: achieving goals faster and more successfully with partners
- Additive manufacturing with Siemens technology accelerates the path to a circular economy
- AM I Navigator: Initiative expands to include Stratasys
Under
the motto “Let’s advance Manufacturing,” Siemens and selected partners will
demonstrate at Formnext 2024 how additive manufacturing (AM) is becoming an
innovation enabler for industrial applications thanks to a functioning
ecosystem, digitalization, and automation. Additive manufacturing has become an
established production technology in which productivity, costs, quality, and
availability are critical to long-term market viability. The Siemens Xcelerator
strategy emphasizes the importance of innovation and technology partnerships as
well as open, interoperable technologies. They are essential when it comes to facilitating
the integration of AM into conventional manufacturing technologies, meeting standardized
quality and safety requirements, and accelerating the scaling of AM solutions. As
a result, Siemens brings additive manufacturing offerings from additional
partners in the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace.

The technology company
Siemens, an innovation leader in automation and digitalization, and DMG MORI, a
leading global supplier of cutting-edge machine tools for turning, milling, and
grinding as well as for additive manufacturing, are presenting the first end-to-end
digital twin for machine tool machining on Siemens Xcelerator. Based on the
Digital Native CNC Sinumerik One, the offering includes the digital twin of the
controller, the customer-specific DMG MORI machine tool, and the workpiece and
is available now on Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace.
- Siemens Xcelerator
creates a powerful ecosystem of partners to accelerate digital transformation
- New scalable
offerings for the end-to-end digital twin of the machine tool, control system, and
workpiece
- New solution for
tool condition monitoring enables traceability and closed-loop manufacturing
Siemens is
consistently expanding its ecosystem for the machine tool industry. Together
with its partners DMG MORI and Renishaw, the technology company is presenting
new offerings as part of Siemens Xcelerator. With a focus on scalability and
high flexibility, there are now even more intelligent machining applications
for CNC users that seamlessly complement the Siemens solutions and deliver a
high value-add based on them. The open digital business platform Siemens
Xcelerator thus creates a powerful ecosystem of partners to jointly accelerate
the digital transformation of the industry.
Under the motto "Accelerate transformation for a sustainable tomorrow", Siemens will be presenting at this year's EMO how companies in the machine tool industry can master current challenges, such as the increasing need for energy efficiency and sustainability, while at the same time meeting the demand for high-quality, affordable, and individualized products. The key to meeting these challenges - building on automation - lies in digitalization and the resulting data transparency. Only a digital enterprise is able to connect the real world with the digital world and make the right decisions using smart software tools in order to produce flexibly, quickly and sustainably.
You can experience the Siemens solutions and meet with the experts in
person at the EMO exhibition booth (Hall 9, G54) in Hannover.
