Precision for huge transportation loads

A new, robust control system from Siemens allows huge loads to get to their destinations better. The gigantic loads (bridge components, drilling platforms, and booster rockets for satellites) often weigh thousands of tons ...

Energy management in the cloud

Siemens is enabling smaller municipal utility companies to market energy from renewable sources through the cloud. The solution's main element is a cloud-based energy management system that combines distributed electricity ...

Virtual plant commissioning helps automation engineering

Virtual commissioning helps automation engineers build and start up production installations such as large plants in the chemicals industry. Long before the real installation is put into service, operators can test the automation ...

Automatic self-optimization of wind turbines

Siemens is "teaching" wind turbines how to automatically optimize their operation in line with weather conditions. The turbines are learning to use sensor data on parameters such as wind speed to make changes to their settings. ...

Tests prove electrolytic cells are stable at 850 degrees

Siemens researchers have demonstrated the long-term stability of ceramic electrolytic cells that are used to produce hydrogen. The results represent a step in the development of new energy storage systems. The use of electricity ...

Intelligent eyes for automation

Siemens is integrating new object recognition features into its optical identification systems. The solution is based on Simatic code-reading systems and extends its functionality with the help of the software Pat Genius, ...

Rejuvenating aging power cables

A special restoration service from Siemens extends the service life of power cables. After this treatment, older cables can remain in service for several more decades. As a result, network operators can avoid the sizable ...

More flexibility for steel production

Siemens enables steel mills to adapt their production processes more flexibly to raw material prices and emission regulations. The newly developed JET Process provides sufficient heat energy to melt a high proportion of scrap ...

Planning extremely cost-effective solar parks

From now on, photovoltaic facility construction firms besides Siemens can benefit from the layout planning software PVplanet. Siemens offers technical consulting along with the software in order to help customers plan customized ...

Steam of hot flue gases saves energy at steel mills

A new solution from Siemens takes advantage of hot flue gases from arc furnaces to generate steam. This steam can then be used for other steel mill processes or for generating electricity. In the past, flue gases were usually ...
