- Positions DSB for
modernization with a more dynamic and customer-focused approach
- S3 Passenger
empowers DSB to optimize capacity and demand management and enhance passenger
communications
- Long-term
partnership with a 12-year contract
The Danish State Railways (DSB)
announced it selected S3 Passenger to replace DSB’s legacy inventory management
system for all its mainline services. S3 Passenger is developed by Siemens
Mobility subsidiary Sqills, and it is considered the industry-leading dynamic
pricing, inventory management, and reservation system. DSB signed a 12-year
contract that can be extended by another 12 years. DSB is the third public
transport operator on the Scandinavian market that uses S3 Passenger, and it is
one with a rich history dating back more than a century. DSB was founded in
1885 with the merger of two state-owned railway operators.
- 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.
- Run MyVirtual Machine available for Sinumerik 828D
- Redesigned operating concept Sinumerik 828D MCP (Machine Control Panel)
- Better connectivity, greater sustainability, and higher cybersecurity
In
the spirit of its motto "Accelerate transformation for a sustainable
tomorrow," Siemens is presenting new hardware and software for the
Sinumerik 828D CNC controller at this year's AMB in Stuttgart. The Sinumerik
828D is specifically designed for the compact and mid-range machine market. The
new PPU271.5, PPU270.5, PPU290.5, and PU272.5 processor units and the
redesigned Sinumerik 828D MCP (Machine Control Panel) operating concept offer a
wide range of functions and options that increase the productivity, sustainability,
and efficiency of manufacturing processes.
- The Simatic S7-1500V is the first virtual controller from Siemens
- Expands the Simatic portfolio and is part of Industrial Operations X
- Ensures greater flexibility and scalability, and simplifies collaboration between IT and OT users
- Enables central management via Industrial Edge and is compatible with Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) portfolio
Siemens will be presenting
a complete virtual programmable logic controller (PLC) for the first time at
Hannover Messe 2023. The Simatic S7-1500V expands the existing Simatic
portfolio and meets special market requirements such as virtual hosting of PLC
computing. In the future, that means the range will include both hardware
controllers and the virtual PLC. The new Simatic S7-1500V is part of Industrial
Operations X. This is a continuously growing, interoperable portfolio geared
towards production engineering, execution, and optimization which Siemens is
adding to its portfolios on Siemens Xcelerator – the open, digital business
platform. With Industrial Operations X, Siemens is consistently integrating IT
and software capabilities into the world of automation, thus speeding up the
transition from automated to highly adaptable production. After all, volatile
markets, the labor shortage, and an increasing scarcity of resources all mean
industrial firms have to structure their automated production more flexibly.
- Supplemental scope to design, supply, install, test, and commission power supply system for Cross Island Line
- Third order for Siemens Mobility on the Cross Island Line, following the orders for the Overhead Catenary Rigid Power Supply system and Trainguard MT CBTC signaling systems and full-height platform screen doors
Siemens Mobility has been appointed by the
Singapore Land Transport Authority to lead a consortium with Concord
Corporation Pte Ltd for the design, supply, installation, testing, and
commissioning of the power supply system for Singapore's eighth and newest Mass
Rapid Transit system, the Cross Island Line. The contract value of the
consortium has a volume of approximately 270 million Euros.
- Overall contract from Ruhrbahn GmbH for renewing
control and safety technology by 2031
- Relay interlockings in Essen and Mülheim an der
Ruhr, Germany, will be replaced by electronic interlockings
- Total investment worth around €180 million
Siemens
Mobility and Ruhrbahn GmbH will digitalize control and safety technology dating
from the 1970s in Essen and Mülheim an der Ruhr by 2031 to ensure the system is
fit for the future. The contract, worth around €180 million, was signed
recently by the partners and includes digitalizing Europe’s largest light rail
interlocking system at Essen Central Station. The modernization will make the interlocking
system more reliable and energy efficient. Sixty percent of the costs for the
renewal of the interlockings will be funded by the municipal rail renewal
program with state and federal funds; the funding is currently expected to
total around €96 million.
- Berlin as a pioneer: World’s first installation
of an obstacle detection system on an S-Bahn in daily operation
- Installation and practical testing of an
innovative obstacle detection system in the latest 484 series S-Bahn train
conducted by Siemens Mobility with
S-Bahn Berlin and the Digital Rail Germany (DSD) initiative
- Goal: Develop assistance system for accident
prevention and driverless operation at low speeds
Automated operation is a key function for expanding
rail capacity and strengthening the performance of railways. Working together
with S-Bahn Berlin, Siemens Mobility has installed and will be testing an
obstacle detection system – a key technology component for enabling fully
automated driving – for the first time during regular daily operation.
- Siemens and partners launch safe.trAIn
research project
- Practicable linking of AI processes with
requirements and approval procedures in railway environments
- AI-based methodologies for driverless
regional trains
- Safe.trAIn to support standardization
activities in AI and rail transportation
In a project that will run until the end of 2024, Siemens
and 16 partners will facilitate advances in the driverless operation of
regional trains with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI). Within the “safe.trAIn”
project, which the German government is subsidizing, there is a budget of €23 million
available for this task. Solutions for meeting the requirements in this highly
regulated and standardized environment have the potential to substantially boost
the efficiency and sustainability of regional railway transportation.
- Higher engineering efficiency thanks to more functionalities for team collaboration
- IT/OT integration thanks to extension with the IT-oriented approach of Simatic Automation Xpansion (Simatic AX)
- Advanced engineering of kinematics (5D/6D)
- Maximum availability in through R1 redundancy
At the SPS trade fair
in Nuremberg from November 8 to 10, Siemens will present Version 18 of its
engineering framework TIA Portal (Totally Integration Automation Portal). If
industrial companies are to shorten their time-to-market, counteract the lack
of skilled workers, and remain competitive, they need efficient automation
engineering that can be quickly modified to meet new requirements. That’s why
the new version of the TIA Portal once again boosts engineering efficiency and
offers optimized functionalities for multi-user engineering. This means that
users can now work in teams and in parallel on projects and build and manage
shared libraries. Access rights can be assigned either individually or
group-specifically, which makes collaboration more flexible.
