Siemens, a global leader in technology for industrial automation hardware, digitalization
software and services, today announced its U.S. launch of MACHINUM at the International
Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS).
MACHINUM is the CNC digitalization software portfolio designed to manage, analyze and
optimize shopfloor performance and aims to help machine tool users and builders improve
their operations and productivity through seamless software integration.
The digitalization portfolio is integrated into Siemens Xcelerator, allowing companies in the
machine tool sector to better facilitate digital transformation – making it more efficient, faster
and scalable in both manufacturing and design, and the demand for energy efficiency,
sustainability and high-quality product manufacturing. The technology is not limited to
SINUMERIK-controlled CNC machines, which allows the MACHINUM portfolio to be
integrated into any existing manufacturing environment to future-proof the shopfloor.
“It’s important for manufacturers to start or enhance their digitalization journey and
MACHINUM can help optimize industrial automation operations at any scale,” said
Dave Morley, mid-market sales manager, Siemens Digital Industries. “Siemens developed
a digitalization portfolio that drives increased usability and capability, and at a lower cost,
to provide greater access to this technology. Companies that can produce quality parts faster
and more efficiently will continue to outcompete competition — and integrating MACHINUM
can help do just that.”
The MACHINUM portfolio is made up of three pillars: Smart Machine, Smart Shopfloor and
Smart Virtual Machine. Smart Machine offers lower programming and material costs, higher
quality machine uptime and overall faster machining by using machine data for real-time,
in-process quality control. Smart Shopfloor provides customers with lower material, operational
and programming costs, along with higher utilization, through more efficient preparation and
pre-production resource management. Smart Virtual Machine offers lower programming costs,
and higher quality and utilization for better machine engineering with the integration of digital
twin and closed-loop engineering.
Each pillar enhances performance, allowing users to increase speed, agility and endurance
of their operations. Within the Smart Virtual Machine pillar, companies can use digital twin to
enable dependable virtual machining processes, accelerating the run-in of new parts and
reducing costly downtime.
The MACHINUM portfolio features Adaptive Control and Monitoring (ACM) which allows users
to reduce their machining times by up to 15% and extend the life of their cutting tools, leading
to greater manufacturing productivity.
To see how MACHINUM can increase the speed, agility and endurance of manufacturing
operations, visit the Siemens booth 133249 during IMTS Sept. 9–14.
