Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Siemens has closed the acquisition of Mendix, eight weeks after the transaction was announced as part of the company’s Vision 2020+ strategy.
As enterprises invest to digitalise their operations, demand for business applications is growing significantly faster than the capacity of IT organisations to deliver them.
This gap between business demand for smart applications and lack of adequate developer talent has created unprecedented demand for low-code, high productivity platforms.
Bentley Systems and Siemens have decided to further strengthen their strategic alliance and extend their existing agreement, increasing the joint innovation investment program from the initial €50 million funding to €100 million.
In addition, as a result of the continuous investment of Siemens into secondary shares of Bentley’s common stock the Siemens stake in Bentley Systems now exceeds 9%.
Klaus Helmrich, member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, said: “We are investing in the next collaboration level with Bentley, where for instance we will strengthen their engineering and project management tools with Siemens enterprise wide collaboration platform, Teamcenter, to create a full Digital Twin for the engineering and construction world.”

Siemens has agreed to buy application developer Mendix for $697 million.
The engineering giant says Mendix will continue as a distinct company and provide the “low-code” cloud software on which it has built its reputation.
The closing of transaction is expected in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. [Read more…] about Siemens to buy Mendix for $700 million to ‘strengthen digital leadership’
Mentor, a Siemens business, says the company’s Veloce Strato platform is now a customer-validated cloud computing emulation platform directly accessible on-demand on Amazon Web Services.
The Veloce Strato platform offers data center options, such as hardware emulation on-premises, off-premises and on AWS. It’s a computing system often used by chip designers.
This new data center use model extends the availability of hardware emulation across a broad range of deployment scenarios to ensure that all semiconductor companies have access to hardware emulation for system-on-chip and system-of-systems verification.

Siemens has extended its system family of all-round protected HMI (Human Machine Interface) devices for machine-related, cabinet-free visualisation and automation.
High-performance Simatic Thin Client PRO operator terminals with 15, 19 and 22 inch screen sizes and all-round IP65 degree of protection are new to the range.
Like all devices in the PRO series, the new Thin Clients can be extended by mountable components (extension units) – such as mounting adapter, keyboard tray and keyboard.

The advent of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) has the potential to cause major and disruptive changes to cities worldwide, according to a report launched by Siemens.
The report, Cities in the Driving Seat stresses the need for cities to plan early and tackle the issue in a wider context of mobility transformations.
Launched recently at the World Cities Summit in Singapore, the study explores the interdependencies between urban development, public transportation policies, power supply, pollution and the increasing share of CAV in city traffic.

HP Inc. and Siemens have expanded their longstanding collaboration to enable even more advanced functionality across a broader set of Siemens PLM software to change the way users can design and manufacture with HP’s Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology.
With the latest releases, Siemens, a leader in digial innovation software, and HP, the global industry leader in 3D printing, will enable users of Siemens’ NX™ software and Solid Edge software to design and produce full colour 3D-printed parts.
HP’s Jet Fusion 3D 300/500 series is the industry’s first 3D printing solution for the production of engineering-grade, functional parts in full colour, black or white – with voxel-level control – in a fraction of the time of other solutions, it is claimed.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., has certified Mentor‘s Tessent products for Samsung Foundry’s 8-nanometer (nm) LPP (Low Power Plus) process.
These tools provide design and test time improvements for very large designs targeting markets such as mobile communications, high-speed network/server computing, cryptocurrency, and autonomous driving.
Very large designs in today’s leading semiconductor devices can suffer from requiring large compute resources, and pattern-generation times that are too long or are being performed too late in the design flow.

Siemens has entered into an agreement to acquire Austin, Texas-based Austemper Design Systems, a startup software company that offers analysis, auto-correction and simulation technology.
This technology allows customers to test and harden integrated circuit designs for functional safety in applications such as automotive, industrial and aerospace systems where functional safety and high reliability are mandatory for compliance to safety standards like ISO 26262.
ICs in these applications require three types of functional safety verification:
The acquisition of Austemper will strengthen Siemens’ product lifecycle management software suite, much like Siemens’ acquisition of Mentor did. [Read more…] about Siemens acquires Austemper Design Systems to strengthen product lifecycle management offering
Engineering giant Siemens has been showcasing a wide range of “digital enterprise” solutions at the ongoing Automatica event, in Germany.
Siemens says its solutions demonstrated how machine builders and users can benefit from Industrie 4.0, and can be found at a specially constructed page for Automatica on Siemens website.
Exhibiting under the banner “Digital Enterprise – Implement now!”, Siemens focused on integrated, user-oriented solutions from its digital enterprise portfolio for enterprises of all sizes and branch of industry – along the entire value chain from product design and production planning, through the engineering process, to new data-based services.
