Industrial Operations X brings cutting-edge IT and AI into industrial automation
Industrial Operations X is a continuously growing interoperable portfolio of products and services for product engineering, execution, and optimization. This offering brings more information technology (IT) and software capabilities to automation and production operations, making industrial operations more adaptable and people centric.
Industrial Operations X is
the solution for production engineering, execution, and optimization in the new
world of IT/OT convergence. It focuses on integrating cutting-edge IT
capabilities and proven methods from software operations in the world of
automation: low code, edge, cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI)
are combined with industry-leading automation technology and digital services. The
result: plants and production lines become more flexible and modular so
customers can react to changes at the click of a button.
Bringing
cutting-edge IT and software capabilities into automation
A single Industry 4.0
factory generates an average of 2,200 terabytes of data every month. Industrial
Operations X solutions make this data actionable, for example, by leveraging AI
analysis capabilities. Independent studies suggest that a digitally enabled
factory delivers production increases of up to 30 percent. To unlock this
potential, Siemens is showcasing several world premieres at Hannover Messe:
-
Virtualizing automation: Introducing a fully virtual controller
Based on proven functionalities of the SIMATIC S7-1500, the virtual programmable logic controller (PLC) is hardware-independent, allowing applications to be centrally managed and flexibly modified to meet changing customer needs. PLC projects can be scaled with virtual control and easily integrated into other IT offerings through open data interfaces.
-
Making automation programmable with IT code: Simatic AX
Simatic AX provides IT professionals with a familiar development environment based on Visual Studio Code and version control via GIT and others. Simatic AX is cloud-based and is available as a service.
-
Visualization for the Industrial Edge environment: WinCC Unified for Industrial Edge
With Industrial Edge, administering software in machines is easier, more flexible, and more secure. A variety of apps is already available, focused on acquisition, preprocessing and analysis of machine or plant data.
Siemens will continuously integrate the latest
technological IT advances into existing automation solutions (like our SIMATIC
S7, SIMATIC WinCC, SIMATIC PCS neo, SINUMERIK). Industrial customers will also benefit
from a wide spectrum of interoperable offerings from Siemens and a large
community of partners.
"With Industrial Operations
X, we make OT adaptable at the speed of software,” says Cedrik Neike, Member of
the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO Digital Industries. “And by deploying
AI on the shop floor, we enable manufacturers to access the terabytes of
automation data locked inside their factories so that they can ultimately
become more sustainable.”
Insights
Hub: Turning Industrial IoT into actionable insights
Siemens will integrate
MindSphere in the core of our operations software portfolio with an even
stronger focus on delivering business value from IoT data. To emphasize our
commitment to application value from industrial IoT, Siemens is evolving
MindSphere (including partners and developers worldwide) into Insights Hub as
part of Industrial Operations X and the Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem. Insights
Hub highlights the focus on empowering smart manufacturing to generate
actionable insights from asset and operations data, by analyzing data locally
or in the cloud, and transforming it into value. With Insights Hub, Siemens gives
its customers proven industrial IoT solutions that include a variety of
applications, like Insights Hub Quality Prediction for improving quality
inspection and rework processes.
With the launch of Industrial Operations X, Siemens
makes industrial production processes more adaptable, autonomous, and resilient
so that they can react fast to changes. This enables customers large and small
to become sustainable digital enterprises.
