Digital transformation of process industries in full swing
To master today’s challenges takes flexibility, collaboration and embracing change as an opportunity for process industries. Add bold thinking and the ability for quick informed decisions – and you’re future-ready. Let’s get going!Evonik – New level of flexibility to answer market requirements.
Digitalization creates speed. With our support Evonik converted a test center to make it a frontrunner for the chemical industry in terms of versatility and flexibility. With SIMATIC PCS neo at its core, Evonik now relies on the Modular-Type-Package-Standard (MTP) to quickly optimize synthesis processes. Developed in the digitalized laboratory, ready for production in large-scale plants at an unprecedented speed. See how the open architecture of SIMATIC PCS neo enables web-based multi-user engineering and new ways of global collaboration – without any local software installations.

SIMATIC PCS neo offers all kinds of new functions that make administering the process control system much easier than it used to beStefan Handel, Project Manager at Evonik
The Digital Worker empowers the field to transform plant operation.
Transparency creates control. Going beyond the analog and merging the virtual with the real world is a logical next step in the evolution of process industries, increasing efficiency and security, smoothness of processes and the quality of information. See how field personnel attain a new dimension of control when they turn into Digital Workers – with the entire plant getting transparent, predictive management becoming the standard mode of operation and remote experts ready to support or intervene any time.
„Clipboards, slips of paper and pens will soon be things of the past. Tablets connected directly to the central IT systems at LANXESS will make work for our production and maintenance employees more efficient, user-friendly and safer,”
says Benedikt Efker, Head of Digitalization Production & Assets at LANXESS.
BioNTech – Fast, flexible and globally relevant.
Pressure creates heat. And the very special challenge posed by the pandemic lead to maybe the hottest engineering effort in recent history: setting up the production of a new vaccine, with time-to-market being closely watched by the whole planet. With the help of Siemens technology and, even more important, a project team that went to its limits, time-to-market was more than halved. Get a glimpse how to scale-up the manufacturing capacity of vaccines and learn about the improvements at the Marburg plant being Industry 4.0-compatible. See how future gets created, when open minds collaborate.
„We want to thank Siemens for their excellent collaboration on this project and the huge effort they put in, often exceeding 100 percent,”
says Valeska Schilling, responsible Head of Production Department at BioNTech Marburg in the project.
