DAB Pumps digitalises with Siemens MOM

by

Siemens has announced that DAB Pumps has selected the Siemens PLM Software Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) portfolio as part of its digitisation strategy.

Siemens’ MOM portfolio integrates the digital threads of product lifecycle management (PLM) with automation and ERP, breaking down the traditional data silos and allowing a two-way flow of communication.

Through the latest generation of Siemens PLM Software’s MOM solution, DAB Pumps can access Siemens PLM Software’s industry-specific best practices.

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.

Siemens’ Teamcenter now supports eCl@ss Standard to streamline data exchange

by

Siemens has announced that the Teamcenter portfolio, the world’s most widely used product lifecycle management software, will now support the eCl@ss Standard for classification and product description.

eCl@ss has established itself internationally over 18 years as the only ISO/IEC-compliant industry standard, and has become the worldwide reference-data standard for the classification and unambiguous description of products and services.

Supporting a standard classification system can allow Teamcenter users to standardise design, procurement, storage, production, and distribution activities in and between companies – across sectors, countries and languages.

Boeing extends partnership with Siemens’ Mentor Graphics

by

Boeing has entered into an agreement to expand its use of Siemens‘ Mentor Graphics software. The long-term agreement provides Siemens technology in the areas of electrical systems design, electronic products design and mechanical analysis.

Focusing on technologies from Siemens’ Mentor Graphics acquisition, Boeing will standardise on a common, company-wide platform for semiconductor design and verification, printed wire board design and manufacture, electrical system design and manufacture (including wire harness) and thermal and fluid analysis of mechanical designs.

“Our partnership with the Siemens-Mentor team will combine best-in-class electrical design tools with Boeing’s vast experience and knowledge in our 2CES transformation of electrical design,” said John Harnagel, Engineering Director, Boeing Defense and Space.

Siemens completes acquisition of Mendex

by

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.

Siemens to buy Mendix for $700 million to ‘strengthen digital leadership’

by

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 Veloce hardware emulation platform now available on Amazon Web Services

by

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.  [Read more…] about Mentor Veloce hardware emulation platform now available on Amazon Web Services

Siemens extends HMI range for industrial applications

by

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.
