• Simplified integration of engineering data
• Server virtualization support increases efficiency and performance
• New Edge functionality provides better and more secure access to remote data
• HTML5-based, new web browser client

Siemens launches the new release V 6.0 of their flagship XHQ Operations Intelligence with enhanced performance while increasing the overall usability at the same time. With the new version, users benefit from numerous enhancements such as edge functionality. With an end-to-end secured site integration and light weight installation, this provides easy and secure access to remote/distributed data from all production (operation) and enterprise levels.

• Data interface according to OMAC PackML
• First implementation of companion specification in a controller

Siemens has succeeded in implementing an OPC UA data interface in a Simatic S7-1500 controller according to a companion specification. The OMAC PackML (Packaging Machine Language) makes it easier for end customers and line integrators to integrate packaging machines and connect them to line or MES systems, thus simplifying the evaluation and control of individual machines.

• Integration into the digital workflow with data exchange via AutomationML
• Configuration option of modular switches
• Import and simulation of existing TIA Portal projects V15.1
• Simulation of broadcast with definition of broadcast limits

Siemens is launching a new version of the software tool for planning and simulating Profinet automation networks on the market. Sinetplan V2.0, the Siemens network planner, supports plant planners, builders and operators of automation systems and Profinet networks already in the planning phase and facilitates the professional and proactive simulation of a plant network. At the Hannover Messe 2019, Siemens is exhibiting the new features with which Sinetplan V2.0 is integrated into the digital planning and engineering workflow.

• Highest computing and graphic performance through up to two Intel Xeon CPUs and Nvidia Quadro P5000 GPUs
• High degree of expandability through six PCIe slots, six USB interfaces and a serial port
• Platform for artificial intelligence (AI), automatic learning, edge computing and machine vision
• Product designed for industrial environments with full-metal enclosure and high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

With the Simatic IPC1047, Siemens is launching an industrial PC platform onto the market which is distinguished by the highest computing and graphic performance. The new device is equipped with the most modern hardware components – two Intel Xeon processors E5 of the v4 series, two GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) Nvidia Quadro P5000 – and comes with a 19" rack design. The IPC in a rugged, full-metal enclosure can handle applications with high performance requirements, such as big data analyses, and thus offers a platform for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, edge computing, and machine vision.
