A unique test laboratory has been opened at the Hagerbach Test Gallery in Flums. The Tunnel Digitalization Center (TDC) enables the simulation of tunnel applications in a realistic environment. In the past, solutions for tunneling had to be installed and tested on site at great expense. The TDC is equipped with numerous Siemens solutions. For example, engineers have implemented the TIA Portal (Totally Integrated Automation Portal). This engineering framework is suitabl

Paro AG develops and builds individual, medium to large volume production and assembly systems. In order to guarantee high clock-pulse rates and process flexibility, the business uses linear technology in its machines and systems. Integral to this is the Siemens Multi-Carrier System (MCS) which, typically, keeps setup times to a minimum when changing products. The mechatronic system concept was initially tested using a digital twin which had been created using Siemens

Tscharner Technik (Tscharner) equips cable cars and ski lifts with control systems, combining their own software developed in-house with failsafe controllers from Siemens. As part of the software advancement, the visualization has been updated. The first project that uses the new solution includes two single ski lifts and one double ski lift in the Rosswald near Brig ski resort. The new control system impresses with its intuitive handling and clear display. The control

Valeo Kapec (Valeo) is a South Korean automotive parts manufacturer, which supplies ten million torque converters for automatic transmissions globally every year. Due to a joint venture the company had a heterogenous structure, which made it difficult for Valeo to gain an overview of total development and manufacturing costs. In order to standardize and therefore better monitor cost estimates in future, the company is implementing solutions from Siemens Digital Industr

Siemens Digital Industries software is expanding its additive manufacturing capabilities by acquiring Atlas 3D. The software specialist offers designers solutions for ‘right first time’ 3D printing, i.e. for optimal print orientation. The cloud-based GPU (graphics processing unit)-accelerated Sunata software reduces downstream 3D printing errors caused for example by thermal distortion up to 100 times faster than comparable systems.

Siemens is extending its FastConnect range of cabling technology with new components surrounding the 19 inch control cabinet. The Siemens 19 inch Module Frame represents a robust patch system for installation of both copper and fiber-optic connectors in less time and without errors. Operation Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) do not use the same network components and this is reflected in the cabling technology selected. While office IT (Information Techn

The new TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) Portal V16 from Siemens includes a new technology object for the Simatic Ident identification system. With the TO_TagLayout technology object, users can centrally edit a layout for the symbolic addressing of all data on Simatic RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) transponders. This means that the transponder layout for the whole production can be defined and edited at only one location and transferred from there to all othe
