At last year’s SPS Drives Expo, Siemens exhibited its integrated portfolio of hardware, software and services for the electrification, automation and digitalisation of industrial processes. The presentation focused primarily on the company’s portfolio aimed at building the Digital Enterprise, in which all value adding processes are digitally supported – across the entire product and plant life cycle. Siemens has developed a portfolio which will enable its customers from the manufacturing industry to make the transition to the Digital Enterprise – whether large-scale corporations or SMEs. “We realised the growth potential offered by digitalisation in the discrete production and process industries at a very early stage, and with the Digital Enterprise portfolio have consistently aligned our product offering towards this objective. With a range of concrete products and solutions, we demonstrated how our customers can already begin the step-by-step transition towards Industrie 4.0 today,” said Klaus Helmrich, member of the managing board of Siemens AG.

“We are supporting our customers in their bid to become more competitive by reducing the time-to-market and helping them to achieve faster, more flexible and more efficient production”, continued Helmrich. “The processes implemented by the discrete and process industries vary considerably – and therefore require different solutions”, said Helmrich. “Our Digital Enterprise portfolio addresses all of these different needs cohesively along the entire length of the value chain, and that goes for all sizes of company.” At the same time, all the steps within the Digital Enterprise are seamlessly linked, from the virtual through to the real production world – with a continuous flow of data from the product design through to servicing and back. In this way Siemens is helping its customers to bring about a significant improvement to the flexibility of their production processes as product design becomes ever more individualised, and to shorten their time-to-market.
As the central exhibition highlight at its booth, Siemens showcased not only its extensive automation portfolio, but also the Digital Enterprise and the four pillars needed for the digital transformation of industrial processes: Software, communication solutions, security concepts and solutions as well as data-based services.
