The new automation product portfolio will be applied to BMW’s Steyr plant in Austria for the production of E-Drive power unit housing, which will help promote the production transformation of the plant in the digital age.
In the industrial 4.0 era, SINUMERIK one will provide the core driving force for the digital transformation of the machine tool industry. CNC and PLC of the latest system controller have greatly improved the performance of machine tool operation, cutting speed, data acquisition and processing compared with previous generations of controllers. Thanks to the integrated SIMATIC s7-1500f PLC, the PLC processing speed is increased by 10 times and the PLC execution time is greatly shortened. At the same time, SINUMERIK one can be fully integrated into TIA portal to help standardize all engineering tasks in large factories.

With SINUMERIK one, Siemens provides the machine tool industry with the possibility to easily create and apply digital twin technology. Digital self optimization tools, predictive maintenance tools for reducing and planning downtime, and intelligent auxiliary systems for machine tool safety and operation will double the productivity and reliability of machine tools.
