At this year's SPS IPC Drives automation trade fair, Siemens will be supplying answers to the current and future challenges facing manufacturing industry under its trade fair banner "Making Things Right". "Our aim this year is to illustrate to visitors how to improve their production - from design, through engineering and operation to maintenance", said Heinz Eisenbeiss, Director of the Siemens booth at this year's show. Alongside an array of the latest developments in the fields of automation and drive technology, as well as new industrial software and services, Siemens will also be offering visitors a glimpse into the production worlds of the future: Virtual processes for the development of products and systems are set to become ever more closely integrated with real production, underpinned by the need for greater engineering efficiency and lower energy consumption
