Siemens Financial Services (SFS) has released new research examining how global manufacturers are using innovative finance to seize market opportunities through digitalization and automation. Conducted among manufacturing finance managers in 13 countries, the study found that manufacturers across the world are reporting a need to invest in new-generation technology in order to meet four key sector challenges.These are: to increase production capacity and flexibility to meet changing demand and drive sales; to improve client service quality while reducing production costs; to improve competitive positioning through improved product quality and broader product range and to optimize efficiency, cost control and manufacturing agility through automation and digitalization.
- The latest Logo! 8 logic module series can be integrated in KNX installations
- The Logo! communication module CMK2000 connects Logo! 8 to KNX
- For automation solutions from lighting to access controlÂ
The Logo! communications module CMK2000 enables the latest Logo! 8 logic module series from Siemens to be integrated into the KNX building system bus. Logo! 8 is designed for smaller automation solutions. It can now be used in combination with the new communication module for building automation tasks, such as surveillance, access control, air-conditioning, lighting, shading and watering through to pump control. The Logo! KNX module CMK2000 communicates via Ethernet with Logo! 8. It transmits sensor data from KNX bus nodes to the logic module, where they are combined with logic functions. Logo! control commands are transmitted to KNX actuators via the communication module. 50 KNX communication objects can be configured, and linked in the Logo! program with counters, setpoints, and parameters to create automation solutions.

The Amberg Electronics Factory showcases Siemens' concept for a "digital enterprise." The factory already employs production methods that will be the standard in many manufacturing facilities in a number of years. Products in the plant control their own assembly by directly communicating their specific requirements and their next production steps via a product code to the machines.
