Our friends at SIEMENS challenge us to start a productive future with digital drive data. Here’s their take on the digitalization of drive technology…
Whether it's the processing or manufacturing industry: nothing happens without drives.
And drive systems also get you off to a good start when it comes to digitalization. The data from motors and converters is crucial to ensuring your competitiveness. We offer you a wide range of selection and engineering tools, connectivity modules, MindSphere applications, and Edge solutions, as well as digital services to help you meaningfully evaluate this information. This enables you to use drive data in machine and plant manufacturing in order, for example, to optimize your development processes, the properties of your machines and plants or your service. As an operator, however, you benefit from greater stability, flexibility and efficiency in your production and manufacturing processes.
Digital drive for the success of your company
Take advantage of digitalization to stay competitive and make your production even more efficient, cost-effective, and flexible – or to implement new machine and plant concepts as a machine and plant manufacturer. The digitalization of low-voltage drive technology – for example, for the data-based optimization of the entire drive train – plays an important role and is a good starting point for the IIoT.
Benefits for machine and plant builders...
Increased availability of machines and plants – due to even more reliable drive systems thanks to digital options for checking and implementing constructive improvements and extensively monitoring individual drives as well as entire fleets of drives
Shorter time to market – due to shorter development times thanks to practical software tools and a continuous database for concurrent development processes as well as virtual simulations, tests, and commissioning of machines and plants
New options for future service and business models – ranging from customized application solutions and digital services to contractually guaranteed availabilities of machines and plants
Benefits for machine and plant operators...
Increased availability and productivity of production, fewer unscheduled downtimes – through the early detection of deviations and emerging risks thanks to digital drive monitoring
More flexible production down to batch size 1 – through the better use of knowledge from existing production lines thanks to transparent utilization, states, locations, and capacities down to the drive level
Identification of possibilities for optimization in order to produce faster, better, and more efficiently thanks to data-based transparency – for example, for faster modifications, simpler quality control, and the early prediction of maintenance requirements
