Siemens becomes ‘world’s first’ to gain new TÜV SÜD certification

by

Siemens is the world’s first company to gain TÜV SÜD certification for the secure system integration of process automation and drive solutions in compliance with the international IEC 62443-2-4 standards.

The integration projects, verified on the basis of two standard solutions in the oil & gas processing industry and in a waste incineration plant, have been certified in conformity with IEC 62443-2-4 and -3-3 and were implemented using the Simatic PCS 7 process control system.

The projects involved process automation, drive solutions and comprehensive security measures and functions designed to deliver secure plant operation. [Read more…] about Siemens becomes ‘world’s first’ to gain new TÜV SÜD certification

Siemens and HP’s Aruba partner on integrated networks

by

Siemens and Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, have announced a strategic partnership focused on bridging the Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) worlds.

Siemens is as a provider of industrial Ethernet network components and Aruba offers wired and wireless LAN infrastructure.

Digitisation, Industrie 4.0 and Industrial IoT are raising new challenges because now data increasingly must cross the boundary separating OT and IT.

Siemens launches additive manufacturing process simulation solution

by

Siemens has announced a new additive manufacturing (AM) process simulation solution for predicting distortion during 3D printing.

The product is fully integrated into Siemens’ end-to-end AM solution, which assists manufacturers in designing and printing parts at scale.

Building on Siemens’ comprehensive digital innovation platform and the Simcenter portfolio, the AM Process Simulation solution uses a digital twin to simulate the build process prior to printing, anticipating distortion within the printing process and automatically generating the corrected geometry to compensate for these distortions.
