• Evaluation of input data such as video, sound or CPU data by means of neural networks
• Efficient implementation of pick-and-place applications or quality checks on the basis of (human) expert knowledge
• Use of machine-learning algorithms in production processes
• New TM NPU module for the S7-1500 and ET 200MP with integral AI-capable chip: Intel Myriad X

Siemens is launching onto the market a new module for the Simatic S7-1500 controller and the ET 200MP I/O system, which has a chip with artificial intelligence (AI) capability: The S7-1500 TM NPU (neural processing unit) is equipped with the Intel Movidius Myriad X Vision processing unit, thus enabling the efficient processing of neural networks. The module gets its function from the provision of a trained neural system on an SD card and is equipped with the USB 3.1 interfaces and a Gigabit Ethernet port.

• Analyze MyDrives now available on the latest MindSphere version
• Smart connection panel with LAN link for cloud-based digitalization solutions
• Simple plug-and-play handling, also for use in legacy systems

The new Sinamics Connect 300 from Siemens provides a simple plug-and-play solution for integrating converters of the Sinamics family into the IT world. The new solution is suitable for low-voltage converters and supports cloud-based digitalization solutions. MindSphere applications such as Analyze MyDrives can now be used directly via Sinamics Connect 300.

• Sipart PS100 for fast, easy commissioning
• Siemens valve monitoring app with extensive control and analysis options
• Sipart PS2 positioner with improved diagnostics functions

With the Sipart PS100, Siemens is presenting a new positioner that is impressively easy to commission and highly robust. The Sipart PS100 can be initialized quickly at the touch of a button, automatically adjusting itself to the attached valve. If required, it is possible to optimize the positioner for a specific application with just one further touch of a button. Just as some cameras feature portrait, sport or night mode, the positioner can be set to different modes for precise and fast adjustment, open/close operation and other applications. These functionalities save time, cut the costs of commissioning, and increase the return on investment.
