Digitalization for manufacturing using machine tools

Digitalization solutions support an optimized production planning in order to ensure high-quality parts manufacturing and increase at the same time the productivity of the machine and the complete manufacturing process.

Numerous applications are used to make the mechanical and electrical machine development more efficient and optimize the production process.

Particularly for the machine tool sector, Siemens bundles its digitalization portfolio under the term “CNC Shopfloor Management Software”. With these unique digitalization solutions, machine tool companies can significantly increase their productivity in production, significantly reduce their development and market launch times, and thus further strengthen and expand their competitiveness on the global markets. CNC Shopfloor Management Software allows higher speeds, increased flexibility, enhanced quality, improved efficiency and more safety on the machine, as well as new business models, for example, in the service area. 

Digitalization allows to open up optimization potentials which have so far not yet been identified, thus sustainably increasing the productivity and competitiveness.

The CNC Shopfloor Management Software includes applications which are based on a scaled IT infrastructure and offer customized functionalities for engineering and production – from the local solution with SINUMERIK through to the cloud-based, open IoT operating system MindSphere.
