Relying on the Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform, we provide end-to-end digital twin solutions for the machine tool processing industry
The virtual machine tool and virtual numerical control system together simulate the milling of parts
Reduce capacity climb time by 40%, improve production efficiency
Co-created with DMG MORI to leverage the power of the ecosystem
It marks a further step for Siemens into the industrial metauniverse
Siemens has announced a partnership with DMG MORI to provide advanced digital twin solutions for the machine tool industry based on the Siemens Xcelerator open digital business platform. The collaboration will be based on SINUMERIK ONE, a digital native CNC system that provides digital twins comprising CNC systems, machines and workpieces, which is expected to significantly improve sustainability, flexibility and time-to-market.
DMG MORI is the first Siemens Xcelerator eco-partner for the machine tool industry. Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG, said: “Together we are building an open ecosystem for the future, seamlessly connecting domain expertise with cutting-edge technology. Siemens blends the physical world with the digital world to improve efficiency. This collaboration demonstrates our relentless pursuit to continuously enhance competitiveness and sustainability and accelerate the creation of an industrial metauniverse.”
“In the future, digital transformation will have a significant impact on the manufacturing process chain. Through the end-to-end interaction of intelligent machines with digital products and services, DMG MORI is helping customers transform their processes by enabling data transparency throughout the shop floor.” Dr. Masahiko Mori, President of DMG MORI, said: “For us, the DMG MORI digital twin is an important part of the digital transformation process. The successful collaboration with Siemens Xcelerator will further accelerate digital transformation.”
The DMG MORI digital twin reduces capacity climb time by up to 40% and significantly reduces energy consumption. In addition, by moving non-real production tasks to the virtual world, it can also reduce up to 75% of machine non-production tests, helping customers avoid programming errors that can cause defects and damage to real machines, and achieve 100% collusion-free production.
The reason for the good results is not only due to technology, but also due to the partnership between the two sides. Siemens and DMG MORI combine their industry expertise and technology into a single solution, laying the foundation for the future of connected industry.
The solution combines a customized DMG MORI machine virtual model with a virtual version of Siemens’ popular SINUMERIK ONE CNC system and virtual workpieces, demonstrating how the power of ecology can drive innovation and help users meet challenges.
The results of this collaboration will also further address the changing needs of small and medium-sized enterprises. With digital twins, businesses can operate more smoothly and efficiently, while reducing energy consumption. Machine tool users can simulate according to their needs before purchasing a machine tool to make better purchasing decisions.
“This innovation demonstrates the core values of open collaboration and seamless integration at Siemens Xcelerator.” “This will not only provide a digital twin across the entire process for smes undergoing digital transformation, it will also change the future landscape of manufacturing,” said Mr Bleren.
As companies begin to move towards an industrial metauniverse, Siemens’ collaboration with DMG MORI will be an important turning point in the process. The digital twin is not only a technological advance, but also demonstrates the power of cooperation and innovation, and reflects the common vision of creating a connected future.
