Drive Technologies
Productivity, energy efficiency and reliability are our customers' most important requirements. As the world's leading supplier for the entire drive train, we have the right answers: innovative products and systems, integrated applications and solutions as well as end-to-end service throughout the entire lifecycle.
Higher productivity, faster time to market, more efficient use of resources and energy, high availability and quality standards – our customers have to meet these needs in production in ever shorter cycles today, and their machinery and systems have to be ready to make that possible. Our innovative automation and drive solutions are the basis for flexible, future-ready and highly productive systems and equipment. With them, we increase availability and support efficient operations.
Drive Technologies is the world's leader in products, end-to-end systems, applications and services for the entire drive-train. With high-performance controllers, drives and simulation software for the complete range of machine tool and production equipment, we ensure our customers' productivity. We supply end-to-end solutions for electric drive applications and large gears for raw material extraction and processing, for renewable energy or for ships and trains. We are well established in key growth verticals and represented in all growth markets. As a product and solution supplier, for example, DT provides innovative products needed for the powertrains of electric cars and light trucks, making an important contribution to sustainability – one of the goals of the Siemens Environmental Portfolio.
We continuously enhance our portfolio, pursuing the objective of providing intelligent solutions for boosting energy efficiency. With regenerative inverters and energy-saving motors from the NEMA and IEC series, together with sophisticated energy management systems, we help our customers significantly reduce their power consumption, thus also contributing to protection of our environment.
Our Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) platform is made up of end-to-end solutions that range from systems engineering for a plant to the controller and drive levels and on to status monitoring and service. In addition, our software tools make it possible to completely simulate a machine, including its processing steps. In this way, the development time needed to bring a product to market can be radically shortened.
Reliability is an important aspect for our customers when they prioritize their investments. Reliability means high plant availability, long machine life, predictable service intervals and thus planable investment security.
