At the Munich Security Conference in February 2018, nine organisations signed the world’s first joint charter for greater cyber security. A year on, the Charter of Trust has grown to 16 members. In addition to Siemens and the Munich Security Conference, the signatories include AES, Airbus, Allianz, Atos, Cisco, Daimler, Dell Technologies, Deutsche Telekom, Enel, IBM, NXP, SGS, Total and TÜV Süd. 

New Siemens suppliers must comply with minimum binding cyber security requirements, which was introduced step-by-step starting on 15th February, 2019, and anchored in a separate, binding clause in all new contracts. These requirements will apply primarily to suppliers of security-critical components such as software, processors and electronic components for certain types of control units.

The complexity inherent in autonomous vehicle design will push the tools and methodologies used by automotive engineers to their limits. This is especially true in the electrical and electronic systems domains as they come to dominate the operation of a vehicle’s safety-critical systems and convenience features.  

  Siemens has launched a new graphical configurator for Sivacon 8MF1 system cubicles. The modular system consists of a basic framework in 90 different sizes and 2,000 flexibly combinable elements. This enables the implementation of tailored solutions for virtually all industrial sectors and applications.

It has been announced that Siemens and partners, GEA and Perceptive Engineering, are hosting a three-day conference, ‘The Reality of Continuous Pharmaceutical Manufacturing’ to examine the latest thinking around continuous manufacturing (CM) technologies for pharmaceutical manufacturers. 

A brand new converter series has been launched by Siemens. The new Sinamics G120X series are optimised for use in pump, fan and HVAC applications in infrastructure markets and industries such as for building control and also for the water/wastewater environments. To provide more information on the new converters, Siemens Congleton is hosting an event on 12th February. 

Mentor, a Siemens business, has announced the new Xpedition printed circuit board (PCB) design platform focused on multi-dimensional verification. With the increasing complexities of today’s systems, PCB design managers can be challenged by the lack of robust verification tools and/or the difficulty in applying these tools, to identify problems early in the design development phase.

It has been announced that Siemens has acquired COMSA Computer and Software, a Munich-based company which develops software for electrical systems design and wire harness engineering. Its LDorado suite for automotive harness design and engineering software,  reflects deep local expertise and market presence with a well-established product portfolio and strong emphasis on standards.
