- MindSphere
World Taiwan and Japan fosters close relationships with partners to assist in
co-creating IoT development in Taiwan and Japan
- 20 members join
MindSphere World Taiwan and Japan from different sectors
- MindSphere
World Taiwan and Japan is the third MindSphere World association established in
Asia, after MindSphere World Asia Pacific and MindSphere World Korea
Today MindSphere World Taiwan and Japan inaugurated its first member
meeting and board member meeting in Taipei. This
officially announces the preliminary establishment of MindSphere World
association in Taiwan and Japan, which is regarded as an important step in
promoting the prevalence of the MindSphere ecosystem as an open IoT platform in
Taiwan and Japan. The aim of the association is to drive the development of the
IoT ecosystem, create an IoT community for members who want to use MindSphere,
the open, cloud-based IoT operating system and to communicate, synergize and
share requirements together and to shape the digital economy in Taiwan and
Japan.
Smartphone users as well as industrial companies are looking forward to the advent of the new 5G wireless mobile standard, thanks to which companies will be able to connect their machines and thus make their production plants and intralogistics operations more efficient, more autonomous, and more flexible than ever before.
Industrie 4.0, the smart factory, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) – these are the future of industrial manufacturing. Designing production plants and intralogistics to be more flexible, autonomous, and efficient requires the right communication framework and comprehensive connectivity. The new 5G communication standard opens up important new prospects. It will initially have a data speed of between one and 5 gigabits per second, subsequently increasing to 20 gigabits per second – a quantum leap that will make it between 10 and 20 times faster than the system’s predecessor, LTE.

- Siemens’ lightning information
service detected about 446,000 strokes of lightning in Germany in 2018 – 3,000
more than in 2017
- Germany’s “lightning capital” was
Schweinfurt, which also headed the list in 2014
- The fewest strikes in Kiel, Potsdam,
Schwerin and the Lüchow-Dannenberg district
- Saarland the German state with the
most lightning activity in 2018, Saarbrücken the leader among state capitals
- The most lightning strikes in 2018
on June 1
- At European level, Croatia tops the ranking
in Siemens’ 2018 lightning atlas
The Lower
Franconian city of Schweinfurt was Germany’s “lightning capital” in 2018,
succeeding the Upper Bavarian district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, which topped
the list in 2017. Siemens’ lightning information service BLIDS (which stands
for
Blitz-Informationsdienst von Siemens) detected 5.0 lightning strikes
per square kilometer in Schweinfurt in 2018. The districts of
Rheinisch-Bergisch in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and Weilheim-Schongau
in Upper Bavaria took second and third places with 4.0 and 3.7 ground flashes
per square kilometer, respectively. Germany’s lowest concentration of lightning
strikes was in the cities of Kiel, Potsdam and Schwerin and in the Lüchow-Dannenberg
district (0.2). With lightning striking 3.0 times per square kilometer,
Saarbrücken led the country’s list of state capitals in 2018. Saarland was the
state registering the most lightning strikes detected per square kilometer,
while Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was the state with the fewest. Overall, at 446,000,
BLIDS again registered a comparatively low level of atmospheric discharges in
Germany – although 2017’s level and 2016’s record low level of some 432,000 strikes
were exceeded by 3.2 percent.
- Korea is the fourth country to establish the IoT community MindSphere World
- In collaboration with other three organizations in Germany, Italy and South East Asia-Pacific to get the benefits from the international exchange
- Community to drive development of IoT ecosystem based on MindSphere and activate data-driven business paradigm in the fourth industrial revolution era
MindSphere World Korea, an association of users, developers, universities and researchers of the cloud-based open IoT operating system MindSphere was founded on June. Through activities in various fields, MindSphere World Korea is designed to create synergies among members by exchanging technical demands, developing market models and establish IoT platforms and ecosystems based on MindSphere. The association also aims to activate data-driven businesses that utilize advanced ICT technologies in the industrial environment.
- Compact device providing combined functionality for measurement, monitoring and data transmission
- Separate detection of energy consumption and energy recovery
- Operating hour and switching cycle counters enable preventive maintenance
- Commissioning, measured values and status information via Profinet
Siemens has just launched its SIRIUS 3UG546 DC load monitoring relay on the market. The new device is the most compact of its kind for direct current (DC) applications, enabling simple and precise power measurement. The SIRIUS 3UG546 is unique in our industry: It is the first and only DC load monitoring relay to combine current and voltage measurement, power monitoring, communication and various other useful functions in one single, compact device. Until now, several individual components were required for each of these functions. The innovative new approach saves space and costs.
