SINUMERIK Integrate
Integrate for production
■
Overview
More efficient production through intelligent IT integration
Siemens makes the complete range of IT integration available as
an expansion of its CNC technology SINUMERIK 840D sl. This
increases productivity in service and production, and expands
the automation of the production. Machines communicate with
higher-level control systems, and simply have to be expanded
by new functionality. On the way toward the digital factory, the
SINUMERIK Integrate product family offers productive solutions
for integrating IT into production facilities.
There is potential for increasing the productivity of CNC manu-
facturing by networking machines and plants. This requires
production data to be collected and evaluated transparently.
Siemens offers SINUMERIK Integrate as a central platform, that
provides useful modules for analyzing and managing data for
individual machines and networked plants.
Future-proof investment in scalable software
Investment protection and future reliability with
SINUMERIK Integrate
A typical production environment lasts for several years or even
decades. In this time, the IT infrastructure is subject to continual
change, whereas the machines remain virtually unchanged. At
the same time, new requirements frequently arise, that can be
met by expanding the software functionality – if possible without
changing the machine-related software. SINUMERIK Integrate
for production enables resources to be networked and pro-
cesses and production data to be centrally managed. The secu-
rity of the data is ensured from end to end. On the one hand by
encrypted data transport and, on the other hand, because the
machines can be operated with completely isolated firewalls.
Scalable stand-alone and client-server solutions
SINUMERIK Integrate for production is a client-server solution
that is typically used in the environment of a local or decentral-
ized machine park. Individual SINUMERIK Integrate applica-
tions can also be used as local solutions in the environment of a
single machine. After installation, SINUMERIK controlled ma-
chines can be easily integrated as clients in an IT network on the
Integrate server with the user interfaces HMI Advanced or
SINUMERIK Operate. The entire software package comes from
a single source, individual applications are activated by a simple
installation and licensing procedure. The system is thus easily
scalable.
The link to company level
SINUMERIK Integrate for production enables machine tools to
be easily networked into higher-level IT systems for production.
The software runs directly on the CNC, records all the data from
the CNC and PLC, and makes it available for further use.
If the machines are connected to the server, new functions can
be easily copied onto them. This is where the standardization of
the Siemens portfolio pays off, as PLM and MES systems can be
easily connected to increase productivity still further. This en-
sures cost advantages in both procurement and operation.
A platform with many advantages
SINUMERIK Integrate for production is a central platform with
which the productivity of the end user or the service of machine
manufacturers can be increased, and the automation of produc-
tion expanded. Optimizing the production enables, on the one
hand, more parts to be produced and, on the other hand, errors,
such as missing tools, incorrect CNC programs, as well as high
energy consumption, and material and tool inventories to be
reduced.

Access MyBackup is an interface which enables Solution
Partners to offer their own products in the field of archiving
systems on this basis. The certified SINUMERIK Solution
Partners are the companies Auvesy and MDT Software.
