The system is responsible for monitoring the production facility. It enables remote and secure control (with interlocks and switching sequences in place) and provides diagnostics of the power network.
The system also visualizes measurements and the status of switching devices operating in the network, giving plant or substation operators a complete overview of system operation, including loads, sources, and network structure.

Key benefits:

• Automation and faster operation of the power network by providing operators with a set of synthesized data on network status and visualization of measurements
• Remote control of network elements, improving operational safety, increasing network visibility, enabling faster response, and reducing operating costs
• Greater reliability and efficiency of power supply to connected loads
• Reduced network operating costs and improved planning of maintenance and service processes

The station demonstrates a complete portfolio of process automation solutions. It consists of both a physical DCS control system and its digital twin, which is responsible for simulating and optimizing processes in industrial facilities.
The application demonstrates the process of control and optimization of energy consumption in a wastewater treatment plant. It is based on SIMATIC PCS, SIMIT, and gPROMS (gWater) solutions.
Municipal wastewater treatment plants are major energy consumers as well as sources of greenhouse gas emissions. The main challenge lies in reducing energy consumption while complying with regulations regarding pollutant concentrations. This is influenced by the complexity of biological and chemical reaction networks, the lack of online measurements, and the slow dynamics of the installation.

Key benefits:

• Innovative SIMATIC PCS neo process control system, designed to meet current and future challenges
• Increased awareness and better understanding of processes
• Ability to train operators in critical scenarios
• Online optimization based on a mathematical process model, enabling energy savings while ensuring compliance with pollutant concentration regulations

SidiroAR is a free mobile application that supports the design and production process of low‑voltage switchgear using augmented reality. It was developed by a Polish Siemens software team from the technical support department.

The use of digitalization in switchgear production significantly improves efficiency, reduces errors, and facilitates technical discussions with customers. This process can be further streamlined by using an accurate 3D model provided by the switchgear technology supplier. Combined with augmented reality, a panel builder can display such a model directly in their workshop and precisely verify how the structure and the equipment installed inside should be assembled.

The 3D model also enables verification of the correct configuration and design of the switchgear to prevent potential collisions before manufacturing. As a result, additional costs related to rework can be avoided. SidiroAR allows panel builders to visualize the switchgear with its actual dimensions anytime and anywhere.

Each user has a personalized account, to which 3D models intended for augmented reality visualization are assigned. This enables Siemens‑certified SIVACON switchgear panel builders to visualize the ordered switchgear using augmented reality technology.
