Tire Technology Expo 2020

February 25 – 27, 2020, Hanover | Hall 21, Booth 9063

Welcome

True to the slogan " Digital Enterprise – thinking tire industry further," we invite you to visit us at the Tire Technology Expo 2020.

Digitalization is changing the tire industry - machines and factories are becoming smarter. Siemens is presenting a broad-based Digital Enterprise portfolio for the whole value chain especially for tire manufacturers and machine builders.

The digital twin of the tire, the production machines and plants and our Totally integrated Automation portfolio link the digital and real world of tire production.

Take the opportunity to talk to our experts about future-oriented and effective solutions for individual machines or complete production sites.

Highlights

Energy Management in the tire industry

Energy saving and management gains more and more importance in tire production. We provide a complete overview about Siemens portfolio for Energy Management, starting with Energy Assessment till the different measuring and optimization tools to save energy.

Your benefit is the transparency and efficiency for the whole tire production, from machine-oriented energy monitoring to companywide energy management.

The digital twin of the tire

While tire designers have to meet demanding requirements of car makers and end customers, the digital twin of the tire helps turn innovative design into a successful product. Design, simulation and verification of tires are performed in a completely digital environment for quick, smooth and efficient product development.

The digital product design enables comprehensive simulations of aerodynamics, acoustic behavior and hydroplaning properties.

MindSphere in the tire industry – SIRIUS Asset Monitor

MindSphere is the cloud-based, open IoT operating system from Siemens that enables you to connect your machines to the digital world. This enables you to use massive amounts of data from countless intelligent devices which provide breakthrough insights across your entire organization.

We show the implementation of the MindSphere in the tire Industry by means of the application of the SIRIUS Asset Monitor. It gives you a reliable monitoring of the distributed motors or pumps via MindSphere for diagnosis, next maintenance, energy consumption and perfect data transparency.

Faster and more efficient in the market – libraries for the tire industry

Reduce time for engineering and rely on standards based on ISA S88.

With modules especially pre-configured and standardized for the tire industry, objects such as motors, valves or cylinders with diagnostic functions and alarms can be easily integrated and visualized from the TIA library without any additional effort. This increases market acceptance and reduces maintenance overhead.

Fast, smooth startup using virtual commissioning

Virtual commissioning allows testing of the control program at an early stage of engineering without the need for a real machine or plant. Errors can be corrected early, thus reducing commissioning risks. For example, the electromechanical behavior of a curing press can be tested intensely, virtually optimized in advance and then put into operation safely and quickly.

Your benefit is a shorter time-to-market thanks to parallel engineering and improved quality in testing.

Industrial Communication and Identification enabling digital transformation within the Tire Industry

Our robust industrial communication is the basic for data exchange between tire production machines and higher-level systems. Industrial Communication, Security, Locating and Identification are essential for realizing the Digitalization.

Our solutions enable precise identification of all assets, ensuring smooth workflows, and creating new opportunities for you to add value along the entire production and supply chain.

Events Highlights and innovations around the topic of Digital Enterprise in various events during the fair.

11:50 a.m. - 12:10 p.m. | Tire NVH engineering through dedicated lumped parameter model

Tire NVH engineering through dedicated lumped parameter model

Stream 1 - Tire Technology for the Vehicle Revolution (continued)

Referee: Gie Van der Linden, Senior engineer, Siemens Industry Software, Siemens AG, Belgium

With the rise of electric powertrains in the automotive industry, tire noise has become an important part of the ‘new’ composition of the NVH signature of vehicles. Automotive OEMs and tire manufacturers are looking for methods to get an early-stage assessment of the tire NVH performance in a full-vehicle context. In this presentation, we will explain how full-vehicle road noise can be predicted using a test-based, lumped-parameter tire NVH model. This approach enables parameter studies toward resulting interior noise performance and can support target setting on the component (tire) and vehicle level.

04:00 p.m. - 04:20 p.m. | Velocity and temperature influence on tire and vehicle handling performance

Velocity and temperature influence on tire and vehicle handling performance

Stream 8 - Modeling the Tire, Vehicle and Road

Referee: Willem Versteden, Product manager, Siemens Digital Industries, Siemens AG, Netherlands

Further digitization of the vehicle development process requires, among other things, higher accuracy as well a broader scope of operating conditions to be captured by tire models. Siemens Digital Industries has developed an extension of the MF-Tyre/MF-Swift tire model that considers the influence of rolling speed and tire temperature on the tire performance. The modeling approach including main assumptions taken and the validation with indoor and outdoor tire measurements is discussed. Furthermore, emphasis is given to the impact of changing tire characteristics on vehicle handling performance.
