Press Release30 May 2022Digital IndustriesHannover
We are ready – are you?
With its highlight showcase – the SimRod e-car – Siemens shows the breadth and depth of its automation and digitalization portfolio.
Industry faces a threefold challenge. The war against Ukraine exposed its dependence on fossil fuels. Supply chains are coming under renewed pressure from lockdowns in Asia. All of this happens with the backdrop of climate change: If industrial societies do not change course, climate change will become irreversible.
This triple challenge is a wake-up call: only
digitalized companies will survive, grow, and make a positive contribution to
society. Cedrik Neike, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO
Digital Industries: "We have the right technologies. We need to use and
scale them. We as an industry must fundamentally change. We must become more
transparent and open to cooperation. Make better use of data. Siemens is ready.
And we are ready to accompany our customers on this path."
New technologies for digital transformation
In addition to the societal challenges, there
are industry-specific issues: cost pressure, material shortages and a shortage
of skilled workers. The ability to flexibly adapt to new challenges will become
even more important in the future. The good news is that Siemens offers the
right technologies to create customer value - become more profitable and more sustainable,
increase transparency, and speed, and ensure availability and scalability.
With its highlight showcase – the SimRod e-car –
Siemens shows the breadth and depth of its automation and digitalization
portfolio. The SimRod allows visitors at the booth to experience the
optimization of product and production over the entire life cycle. Digital
Twins, Additive Manufacturing, and the use of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
are revolutionizing planning and manufacturing in the automotive industry. Real
and digital worlds, IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology)
are merging and enable endless optimization loops to hit
profitability
and
sustainability targets.
In addition, Siemens will be presenting
innovations at Hanover to ensure
availability and
scalability
- AI-based service edge app for drives : Siemens is expanding its predictive services portfolio with an edge application at Hannover Messe. Fewer production downtimes allow for 30% higher plant availability.
Comprehensive solutions for data
availability and mobile data access enable large amounts of data to flow from
the shop floor to the top floor, connecting IT and OT networks. This allows for
greater
transparency and
speed.
- Industrial 5G : An industrial 5G router enables applications such as mobile robots in manufacturing. In addition, Siemens – together with Deutsche Messe – provide all companies with access to a private industrial 5G testing field.
Siemens establishes network with 14 partners to decarbonize value chains.
Yet, this Hannover Messe is not about a single
innovation. Isolated technological solutions will not solve the challenges of
industry. Only ecosystems will: moving away from individual value capture towards
joint value creation. Nowhere is this more urgent than in the fight against
climate change.
According to the World Economic Forum,
industrial value chains account for about 20% of total global carbon emissions.
Up to 90% of the CO2 footprint of a product stems from the upstream
supply chain. Industry will only achieve its decarbonization targets if it
reduces its overall footprint.
That is why Siemens – jointly with other members
- is initiating the first open, cross-company cooperation network Estainium for
the trustworthy exchange of climate-relevant data. Founding members are Merck
Group, NTT Data, Weidmüller, WTS Global, ATS Automation Tooling Systems, TÜV SÜD,
Bison Forest, CircularTree GmbH, ecobrain AG, Faber-Castell,
Ferdinand-Steinbeis-Institut, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität
Erlangen-Nürnberg, Sustainaccount and the University of Technology Sydney.
Estainium is the first ecosystem to enable the
transfer of actual PCF data on a large scale instead of relying on average
data. The decentralized approach with encrypted and verifiable certificates
guarantees the trustworthiness of the data and the confidentiality of the
supply chain.
In addition, the partners are founding an
association of the same name to meet the need for standardization and security
in the exchange of CO2 footprints. The Estainium Association is based
on three pillars: "Technology and Infrastructure", "Standards
and Norms" and "Carbon Capture, Use, Storage and Compensation".
It uses the disruptive possibilities of digitalization to eliminate economic
misallocations and the unsatisfactory and incomplete state of information about
the quantity and quality of emissions and resources used along the entire
supply chain.
Cedrik Neike: "As an industry, we will only
become climate-neutral if we know where the emissions come from. With
Estainium, we bring transparency to supply chains, we work in an open
ecosystem, and we harness the power of data. This is our offer to customers, partners,
and competitors. This is our contribution as a company for a better
future."
