Karlsruhe, March 14, 2017 – At the Hannover Messe 2017, Siemens will be demonstrating how industrial companies of all sizes can benefit from the digital transformation. The central focus of the 3,500-sq.m booth in Hall 9 will be on the company's further extended portfolio for the achievement of end-to-end digitalisation, known as the "Digital Enterprise".

An array of examples from practice will allow visitors to experience applications and innovations demonstrating the competitive benefits to be gained by merging the real and the virtual worlds. These include greater flexibility, efficiency and quality as well as a reduced time-to-market. The examples on show range from smart energy management systems through customized food and pharmaceutical production to industrial-scale additive manufacturing based on innovative automation and drive technology. Siemens is also driving forward the expansion of its cloud-based, open IoT operating system MindSphere with the addition of new partnerships, interfaces and apps.

To support companies undergoing the digital transformation, Siemens is extending its portfolio for the Digital Enterprise across the four cornerstones of industrial software and automation, industrial communication, industrial security and industrial services.

"Only companies who digitalise their processes comprehensively will remain competitive," explains Jan Mrosik, CEO of the Digital Factory Division. Integration of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) and Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) into the shared collaboration platform Teamcenter enables the seamless flow of data between every step of the value chain: from product design through production planning, engineering and production to servicing – and back. "We provide support for our customers from the manufacturing industry in the form of the Digital Enterprise Suite, our unique integrated portfolio comprising software-based systems and automation components. We coordinate entry into the world of digitalization closely in line with the requirements of each individual company, and together we develop a solution that precisely meets those requirements."
