Siemens Xcelerator: Siemens and AWS simplify IT/OT convergence with an integrated edge-to-cloud experience
Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace
Siemens launched its open Industrial
Edge platform in 2018, and expanded it in October 2021 with the Industrial Edge Marketplace,
an independent, cross-vendor app store where industrial customers can buy apps
from different IoT providers. The Industrial Edge platform and Marketplace are
part of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform, which creates an
open ecosystem for collaboration between customers, Siemens, and complementary third parties. And as such they are also part of
Industrial Operations X, an open and interoperable portfolio for automating and
operating industrial production.
“The addition of AWS IoT
SiteWise Edge to our Industrial Edge Marketplace creates new opportunities to
deploy edge and cloud applications at scale and manage closed-loop automation
workflows“, says Rainer Brehm, CEO of Factory Automation at Siemens. “Our
customers are constantly facing new challenges to boost productivity,
flexibility, and sustainability across their production processes. To help
them, Siemens is expanding its traditional strong OT portfolio by integrating
IT and software capabilities into automation with Industrial Operations X.” With
Industrial Operations X, Siemens provides its customers also with an integrated
portfolio of operations software combined with an open ecosystem.
Leveraging edge and cloud to simplify IT / OT integration
With AWS IoT SiteWise Edge on
Industrial Edge, AWS and Siemens will accelerate and simplify the machine-to-edge
and edge-to-cloud experience. Customers need less time to start ingesting data
into the AWS cloud and use further AWS services, e.g., for simplified data and
workflow management or Industrial artificial intelligence (AI) workflows on the
edge and the cloud. Today, the majority (74%) of customer IoT projects remain
isolated experiments (Source: Beecham Research “Why IoT projects fail”), require a long period of time to deploy at scale or
do not achieve the expected return on investment (ROI) due to a heterogeneous
landscape of OT (Operational Technology) and IT systems. This
results in data being difficult to access and use, as it is often restricted to
a single machine or shop floor. Customers
can now start to unlock the value of industrial data by processing it in
workflows which today they must choose to run either on the edge or in the
cloud. AWS IoT SiteWise Edge on Siemens Industrial Edge helps build a secure,
flexible edge-to-cloud infrastructure that can deliver data where it is needed
and run hybrid workflows, simplifying IT / OT convergence.
This collaboration between AWS and Siemens aims to accelerate the creation and deployment of Industrial IoT applications at scale that work seamlessly across the edge and the cloud by bringing data collection and processing closer to the machine and helping streamline your data pipeline into the cloud.
Rapid development, scalability, and repeatability of IIoT use-cases
Customers using AWS IoT SiteWise Edge and Siemens
Industrial Edge benefit from a wide range of industrial connectivity options,
data storage and management, security capabilities, and analytics and
visualization technologies across the edge and the cloud. With this offering,
automation engineers, maintenance technicians, and operations managers can
decide what data needs to be collected and where it is stored, processed, or
analyzed. With Industrial Edge, the IoT solution development and deployment
becomes easy, secure, and scalable.
Extracting value from industrial IoT data to optimize industrial operations
With AWS IoT SiteWise Edge,
businesses can increase production efficiencies, improve manufacturing
operations by monitoring performance metrics, and optimize asset maintenance
through remote asset monitoring using historical and real-time data.
The Siemens Industrial Edge
Ecosystem is growing, with more and more edge apps and devices being available
on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace. With today’s announcement, Siemens
and AWS bring the power of industrial automation (OT) and the cloud (IT)
together to offer a streamlined machine-to-edge and edge-to-cloud experience to
manufacturing customers.
