Web Meetings

What are we doing within the Competence Group?

We always have continuity in what we are doing, most common is that we introduce a theme at a physical meeting and has continuity via web meetings and hands-on workshops/trainings
We are offering;
Practical information and showing Siemens comprehensive offerings within Future of Automation & Digitalization via physical meetings and web meetings.
Try out, workshops, trainings in Siemens solutions that not is that easy to find in other forum.
We share, learn and find new important themes together
You as a member will receive what we have done, for example recorded web meetings, so you are up to date, independent of when joining the Competence Group

Software safety and functional safety - Now & Beyond

New theme over a long period of time.

Workshops and trainings within the Competence Group - we train as we work and work as we train From safety first to safety always and software safety ensurance and assurance – now, to be prepared for the future

Step 1, @ 2h for C-level and strategic responsible and some additional hour/hours for operative responsible and performers, depending at pure discreet industry or if elements of process safety is a part. Practical risk reduction – safety part within practical risk reduction – functional safety within safety risk assessment and risk reduction – software safety within functional safety

- What: C-level and strategical responsible to be aware of optimize and maybe add right activities. Operative responsible and performers to perform the activities right.
- Why: Assure right input to Step 2, where we focus at deeper know-how within the functional safety area, both systematic failures within the robust hardware design and main focus at control and avoidance of systematic failures within software safety design and modification

- How: Learn by doing at a system everyone can relate to, where software in general and software safety in special are some of the total barriers within risk reduction. The participants choose between 2 systems. One system include typical hybrid functionality, i.e. both typical barriers/risk reduction in discrete industries as well as in process industries. The other system is pure about discrete industries, machinery barriers/risk reduction.

Step 2, Deeper know how in functional safety in general and software safety ensurance and assurance in special, to be prepared for Step 3

- What: C-level and strategical responsible. After participated at Step 1 and passed the test after Step 1, we summarize Step 1 and add some more know-how during total 1 h. Operative responsible and performers, as for C-level and strategical above, and solve some challenges as team during maximum 4h.

- Why: Experience wise, from a pedagogical perspective is to learn stepwise – and have the right input to each step. This Step 2 is to be prepared for Step 3.

- How: Continue with the same system choosed by the participants during Step 1.

Step 3, Safety in the security environment. Usage of AI in the safety context

- What: C-level and strategical responsible, be aware at safety in the security environment and usage of AI in the safety context. Operative responsible and performers, as above but more details.

- Why: To be able to plan and implement the themes in the organization so safety, effectiveness and quality in combination secure competitive advantages.

- How: Learn from initiated sources.

PLCSIM Advanced - SIMIT, @1 day. For automation engineers to be able to effective their everyday work

- What – learn PLCSIM advanced - SIMIT from automation, motion control, media and pre-safety verification

- Why – to learn new effective way to work as automation engineer/programmer, senior and junior disciplines

- How – we will use PLCSIM Advanced, trial licenses and SIMIT in demo mode, and learn from scratch but also with ready made TIA Portal projects to create the SIMIT part, so the ready made program and HMI can be used towards the application

PLCSIM Advanced - SIMIT and NX MCD/MCD Player, @2 days. For automation engineers to add also CAD models with physics, motion curves and robot visualization

- What – learn the synchronized solution; PLCSIM Advanced – SIMIT - NX MCD / MCD Player

- Why – to have a more realistic digital twin for also other stakeholders than automation engineers, such as operators, project leaders etc. etc.

- How – we combine what we are doing with SIMIT at one day with mechanical models in NC MCD/MCD Player. Day 2 with Siemens models or bring your own

PLCSIM Advanced – SIMIT – NX MCD/MCD Player, @3 days. For interdisciplinary co-operation between automation and CAD/mechanical engineers for extended added values

- What – mechanical engineers learn NX MCD standalone tool and how combine this workflow with their existing CAD tool. Automation engineers learn PLCSIM Advanced - SIMIT and learn to cooperate as well

- Why – to have an even more accurate digital twin as the different disciplines optimize their own work, identify problems together, test, optimized for effective projects with low risks

- How – separated day 1, day 2 solve solution together, day 3 work on Siemens models with automation or brings own

Plant Simulation - SIMIT, @2 days. For production engineers and automation engineers who want to collaborate to deliver faster projects with higher quality.

- What – learn how to use Plant Simulation – a premium tool for production simulation to design the optimal production line in early phases by eliminating bottlenecks, increasing utilization and optimizing throughput. Then, learn how to connect this model with the automation engineer’s simulation tool – SIMIT.

- Why – By combining SIMIT and Plant Simulation, the automation engineer can see (in 3D) the production impact of different signals. The simulation experiments in Plant Simulation will also send realistic return signals to SIMIT to evaluate and act on.

- How – The 2-way communication interface enables collaboration of production and automation engineers. Day 1 will be spent with Plant Simulation, learning how to create models from scratch. Day 2 will introduce the SIMIT interface and you will learn to run a combined project.
