Digital Enterprise Software Suite
Siemens' answer to the challenges presented by Industry 4.0
The business of our customers is more and more impacted by
the Internet. Manufacturing companies are being forced to
drastically shorten throughput times with massively improved
flexibility in order to keep up with the increasingly strong trend
toward individualized mass production. At the same time, they
must consistently reduce their consumption of energy and raw
materials.
Over the past 15 years, Siemens has developed an extensive
suite of software products and is now in a position to offer its
customers a holistic automation solution covering all major
Industry 4.0 requirements - the Digital Enterprise Software Suite.
The backbone of the Digital Enterprise Software Suite is
Teamcenter, our collaborative product data management
platform.
The Siemens product portfolio already smoothly connects major
parts of the product and production lifecycle today. Powerful
software allows the development and optimization of new
products on an entirely virtual basis. In the real manufacturing
world the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) concept, which has
proven its worth for about 20 years now, ensures the efficient
interoperability of all automation components. The Totally
Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal), for example, already
enables significant time and cost savings in engineering.
Product Lifecycle Management software supports you in the
implementation of your innovations. Through digitalization and
close interaction of the tools in the overall engineering workflow,
even the "digital twin" can be checked against the original
requirements in the end.
With the project generator SIMOTION easyProject, Siemens
offers a tool that significantly speeds up the creation of a
standardized project base for machine applications. Time and
cost savings of up to 80 % are possible.
