Siemens’ Machinum CNC digitalization software portfolio is designed to manage, analyze and optimize shopfloor performance, and aims to help machine tool users and builders improve their operations and productivity through seamless software integration.
The digitalization portfolio is integrated into Siemens Xcelerator, enabling companies in the machine tool industry to better facilitate digital transformation — making it more efficient, faster and scalable in both manufacturing and design — and meet the demand for energy efficiency, sustainability and high-quality product manufacturing. The technology is not limited to Sinumerik-controlled CNC machines, which enables the Machinum portfolio to be integrated into any existing manufacturing environment.
The Machinum portfolio is made up of three pillars: Smart Machine, Smart Shopfloor and Smart Virtual Machine. Smart Machine offers lower programming and material costs, higher quality machine uptime and overall faster machining by using machine data for real-time, in-process quality control. Smart Shopfloor provides customers with lower material, operational and programming costs, along with higher utilization, through more efficient preparation and pre-production resource management. Smart Virtual Machine offers lower programming costs, and higher quality and utilization for better machine engineering with the integration of digital twin and closed-loop engineering.
Each pillar is designed to enhance performance, enabling users to increase speed, agility and endurance of their operations. Within the Smart Virtual Machine pillar, companies can use digital twin technology to enable dependable virtual machining processes, accelerating the run-in of new parts and reducing costly downtime.
The Machinum portfolio features Adaptive Control and Monitoring (ACM) which is said to reduce machining times by up to 15% and extend the life of cutting tools.
