Overview
Our understanding of an application is the customer-specific so-
lution of an automation task based on standard hardware and
software components. In this respect, industry knowledge and
technological expertise are just as important as expert knowl-
edge about how our products and systems work. We are setting
ourselves this challenge with more than 160 application engi-
neers at 20 locations in 13 countries.
Application centers
We currently have application centers in:
•
Germany: Head Office Erlangen and 6 German regions,
e.g. in Munich, Nuremberg, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Frankfurt,
Chemnitz, Cologne, Bielefeld, Bremen, Hanover, Hamburg
•
Italy: Bologna, Milan
•
USA: Atlanta
•
China: Beijing, Shanghai
•
France: Paris
•
Turkey: Istanbul
•
India: Mumbai
•
Switzerland: Zurich
•
United Kingdom: Manchester
•
Brazil: Sao Paulo
•
Japan: Tokyo, Osaka
•
The Netherlands: The Hague
•
Denmark: Ballerup
These application centers specialize in the use of SIMOTION/
SINAMICS. You can therefore rely on automation and drive spe-
cialists for implementing successful applications. By involving
your personnel at an early stage in the process, we can provide
a solid basis for rapid knowledge transfer, maintenance and fur-
ther development of your automation solution.
Advice on applications and implementation
We offer a variety of consultation services to help you find the op-
timum solution for the SIMOTION/SINAMICS application you
want to implement.
The quotation phase
includes:
•
Clarification of technical questions
•
Discussion of machine concepts and customer-specific
solutions
•
Selection of suitable technology and
•
Suggestions for implementation
A technical feasibility study is also performed at the outset. In
this way, difficult points of the application can be identified and
solved early on. We can also configure and implement your ap-
plication as a complete solution including control cabinet from a
single source.
During the implementation phase
a number of proven standards
can be applied. This saves engineering costs.
The system can be commissioned
by experienced, competent
personnel, if required. This saves time and trouble.
If servicing is required
, we can support you on site or via tele-
service. For further information about servicing, please see
"Service & Support".
On-site application training
Training for the implemented applications can also be organized
and carried out on site. This training for machine manufacturers
and their customers does not deal with individual products, but
the entire hardware and software system (for example, automa-
tion, drives and visualization).
From an initial concept to successful installation and commis-
sioning: We can provide complete support for SIMOTION/
SINAMICS! Contact your Siemens representative.
