- SINEC Security Guard: Intuitive cloud-based software-as-a-service to improve cybersecurity on the shop floor
- Allows users to match vulnerabilities to their OT assets, prioritize them and engage in mitigation measures
- Integration with the cloud-native SIEM Microsoft Sentinel enabled
- Available on the Siemens Xcelerator Marketplace from July 2024
Production facilities are increasingly the
target of cyberattacks. Industrial companies are therefore required to identify
and close potential vulnerabilities in their systems.
To address the need to identify cybersecurity
vulnerabilities on the shop floor as quickly as possible, Siemens has launched a
new cybersecurity software-as-a-service, that will be showcased for the first
time at Hannover Messe 2024.
- Workstation provides with software-defined automation unprecedented control over factory automation and security
- At Automate 2024, Siemens highlights how co-creator Ford Motor Company will be the first customer to deploy and scale this technology in its manufacturing operations
Siemens, a leading
technology company, today announced a breakthrough in the longstanding
challenge of closely managing numerous hardware control points throughout the
factory. The solution is the new Siemens Simatic Automation
Workstation, which allows manufacturers to replace a hardware PLC, a
conventional HMI and an edge device with a single, software-based workstation.
This ushers in Information Technology (IT) workflows to Operational Technology
(OT) environments.
- Depot to be expanded to 87,550 m²
- New capacity for meeting growing demand
- 100% system availability thanks to digitalized depot operation
- Creation of attractive jobs in the region
- Up to 250 employees at the location in 2026
Siemens Mobility is investing approximately €150 million to expand its service depot in
Dortmund-Eving to 87,550 m² to meet the growing demand for rail services.
Plans call for constructing an additional 12,300 m² service hall
with storage facility, offices, and workshops to handle the maintenance of
trains up to 400 meters long. Construction
of the new building is scheduled to begin in 2024 and be completed by 2026. The
Siemens Mobility depot in Dortmund previously had a total area of
70,000 m² and will cover 157,550 m² when the project is
completed.
- Solar farm is part of a £1.5 million research project funded through UK Research Partnership Investment Fund
- Project in partnership with Siemens aimed at enhancing the University’s research capabilities in developing and testing robots and other autonomous systems for the inspection and maintenance of solar arrays
- Enables the University’s new Institute for Safe Autonomy to become net zero by 2025
Siemens has completed work on a 200kWp solar
farm for the University of York located at the University’s new Institute for
Safe Autonomy, as part of £1.5 million research project.
- The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft commissions a research factory for battery cells with a capacity of up to 200 MWh in Münster, Germany
- Testing, implementation, and optimization of near-series production under real conditions of battery cells – for the automotive industry, among others
- Siemens is a production and building technology partner in this ecosystem
According to a study by
the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research [Fraunhofer ISI],
battery production capacity in Europe alone will quadruple by 2025 from 124
gigawatt hours in 2022 to over 500 gigawatt hours. By 2030, this figure is expected
to increase tenfold to up to 1.5 terawatt hours.
- Migration
to the highest grade of automation (GoA4)
- Delivery
of onboard equipment for 226 new trains
- Project
will be commissioned in five phases; fully automated by 2033
- Total
order volume of approximately 270m Euros
Siemens Mobility will upgrade the entire 170 kilometers long S-bane
network in Copenhagen to the highest grade of automation (GoA4 technology) to
enable unattended train operations starting with the first phase in 2030. Respective
contracts have been signed with Banedanmark (BDK) and
DSB recently including the necessary signaling equipment for trains and
wayside. GoA4 will allow the operator to run more trains in the entire system, enhance
the level of passenger experience, secure the current punctuality rate and will
future-proof the network. The new contracts have a total volume of about 270m
Euros and build on the original contract from 2011 to equip the Copenhagen
S-train network with the Communications-Based Train Control System [CBTC].

The industrial sector
is in need of digital transformation toward greater sustainability and resilience.
Value creation and actions for the planet must be brought into balance. Companies
need to do more with fewer resources. At Hannover Messe, Siemens will show how
proven, cutting-edge technology and strong partnerships enable industries to
become both more sustainable and more competitive. Visitors at Booth D53 in
Hall 9 will experience showcases featuring core technologies for digital and
sustainable transformation in the automotive, food, chemicals and
semiconductors industries.
- Simatic S7-1200 G2 will be available in winter 2024

- New AI-based apps for more efficient operation of water infrastructures available on the Siemens Xcelerator marketplace
- Easy integration into existing infrastructure without specialist knowledge
- Siemens to showcase its digitalization and automation portfolio for more sustainability in the water sector at IFAT 2024
Siemens, a leading technology company, has expanded its software portfolio for the water industry, enabling its customers to optimize their plant operations using artificial intelligence - without the need for technical expertise. These self-service solutions enable users to address the most pressing issues in water and wastewater operations: reducing water loss, preventing pollution from sewers, and ensuring the reliability of treatment assets. The effect of these applications is also a contribution to greater sustainability overall, as the world's water resources can be better protected. "Digital technologies have not yet been widely adopted in the water sector so far," says Anja Eimer, General Manager Global Water Business at Siemens. "The existing OT and IT device landscape of is complex, skilled workers are in short supply, and the business benefits of many digital applications have often been unclear. With our new software offerings, we are adressing these conditions and enabling water companies to perform AI-based operational analyses."
