Horizontal integration
Integrated drive portfolio:
The core elements of a fully integrated
drive portfolio are frequency converters, motors, couplings, and gear
units. At Siemens, they‘re all available from a single source. Perfectly
integrated, perfectly interacting. For all power and performance
classes. As standard solutions or fully customized. No other player in
the market can offer a comparable portfolio. Moreover, all Siemens
drive components are perfectly matched, so they are optimally
interacting.
Vertical integration
Thanks to
vertical integration
, the complete drive train is
seamlessly integrated in the entire automation environ-
ment – an important prerequisite for production with
maximum value added. Integrated Drive Systems are
part of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA), which
means that they are perfectly embedded into the
system architecture of the entire industrial pro-
duction process. This enables optimal pro-
cesses through maximum communication
and control.
Lifecycle integration
Lifecycle integration
adds the factor of time: Software and
service are available for the entire lifecycle of an Integrated
Drive System. That way, important optimization potential for
maximum productivity, increased efficiency, and highest
availability can be leveraged throughout the system’s
lifecycle – from planning, design, and engineering to
operation, maintenance, and all the way
even to modernization.
With Integrated Drive Systems, assets
become important success factors. They
ensure shorter time to market, maximum
productivity and efficiency in operation,
and shorter time to profit.
You can boost the availability
of your application or plant
to up to
99%
*
*e.g., conveyor application
With TIA Portal you can
cut your engineering time
by up to
30%
With Integrated Drive
Systems you can reduce
your maintenance costs
by up to
15%

SINAMICS is an important element of a Siemens Integrated Drive
System, contributing significantly to increased efficiency, productivity,
and availability in industrial production processes.
Integrated Drive Systems are Siemens’ trendsetting answer to the
high degree of complexity that characterizes drive and automation
technology today. The world’s only true one-stop solution for entire
drive systems is characterized in particular by its threefold integration:
Horizontal, vertical, and lifecycle integration ensure that every drive
system component fits seamlessly into the whole system, into any
automation environment, and even into the entire lifecycle of a plant.
The outcome is an optimal workflow – from engineering all the way
to service that entails more productivity, increased efficiency, and bet-
ter availability. That’s how Integrated Drive Systems reduce time to
market and time to profit.
