- Snälltåget
implements Sqills S3 Passenger from Sqills, a subsidiary of Siemens Mobility
- Implementation
to support with longest night train route in the EU
- Increased
capacity, improved passenger experience
Swedish open-access rail operator Snälltåget has announced
that it will be implementing S3 Passenger, the dynamic pricing, inventory management,
and reservation system offered by Sqills, a Siemens Mobility
subsidiary. Snälltåget
and Sqills have opted for a phased approach in terms of
implementation: The Swedish operator will benefit from a short time-to-market
while adding more functionalities in the months after go-live. One feature that
Snälltåget will be using from the start is the support for cross-operator
cooperation as a way for providing through tickets. This will further improve
passenger comfort when booking long-
distance trips. S3 Passenger is based on the
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model and is part of the open, digital business
platform, Siemens Xcelerator, that enables customers to accelerate their
digital transformation easier,
faster and at scale.
- ‘Digirail’ project to modernize Finland’s train
control system
- Siemens Mobility selected to equip first phase
with European Train Control System Level 2 and Hybrid Train Detection
- Finland's first
implementation of the European Train Control System drives
rail digitalization
Siemens Mobility will upgrade the
first section of Finland's rail network under the Finnish government's
"Digirail project", which involves renewing the country's train control system. The contract was
recently awarded and includes the installation of the European Train Control
System Levels 2 [ETCS L2] and the Hybrid Train Detection [HTD] for the first
time in Finland on the 191-kilometer stretch between Lielahti and Rauma-Pori. This marks another milestone in the
implementation of Siemens
Mobility's latest interlocking and radio block center technology on the new DS3
platform, which is entirely based on commercial-off-the-shelf [COTS] hardware. The
new train control system aims to increase the network's capacity, improve
punctuality, minimize disruptions, and enhance the safety of operation. It will
pave the way for a more sustainable, efficient, and safe railway network and is
expected to be in commercial service by 2027.

City of Hamburg, Deutsche Bahn, and Siemens
Mobility sign cooperation agreement for Digitale S-Bahn Hamburg 2.0New
intelligent operations control system to be tested until UITP Congress 2025Partners jointly invest 35 million euros
(Hamburg, July 18,
2023) With the Digitale S-Bahn Hamburg, train travel will become even more
environmentally friendly in the future. Deutsche Bahn (DB), the city of
Hamburg, and Siemens Mobility are introducing a new intelligent operations
control system for the Digitale S-Bahn in Hamburg, aiming to reduce the trains'
power consumption by up to 30 percent. The system will be tested until the UITP
World Congress 2025. The project, costing 35 million euros, is jointly funded
by DB, the city of Hamburg, and Siemens Mobility. A cooperation agreement for
the Digitale S-Bahn Hamburg 2.0 was signed by representatives of the partners
today.

- Y-turning and Advanced Rapid Movement for even more machine tool productivity
- Reduced Dynamic Mode reduces wear and increases availability
- End-to-end keyboard and machine control panel portfolio from 15 to 24 inches
Siemens is expanding its
offering around the Sinumerik One "digital native" CNC. The new CNC
generation from Siemens, which was introduced to the market in 2019, is also
coming up with innovations in software and hardware this year. With the new
Sinumerik V6.20 software, there are new technology functions for the Sinumerik
One that simplify operation, reduce machine wear, and increase productivity.
Siemens is thus demonstrating once again how the powerful Sinumerik One machine
tool control system can be optimally used for digital transformation in a
highly productive, flexible, and modular way.
