在2017漢諾威國際機床展（EMO 2017）上，西門子展示了其功能強大的、基于云的開放式物聯(lián)網(wǎng)操作系統(tǒng)MindSphere在機床領(lǐng)域應(yīng)用的多種連接和安裝選項。西門子利用MindSphere上的“Manage MyMachines”應(yīng)用程序，將展會現(xiàn)場來自140多家制造商的240多臺不同的機床連接在一起。除此之外，如Heller等機床制造商還展示了基于MindSphere的全新服務(wù)和業(yè)務(wù)模式，以提高效率和生產(chǎn)率。
The digitization of machine tool operation by connecting MindSphere enables machine tool makers and operators to analyze and utilize a large number of machine tool data, which was not possible in the past. This improves the productivity of machine tools and production networks. MindSphere application has thus provided a starting point for the new application of machine tools and innovative digital services, such as preventive maintenance, energy data management and resource optimization. The openness of the MindSphere system is particularly important here, for example, using an open interface (API) to generate open connection standards for specific OEM and customer applications as well as OPC UA. MindSphere has thus laid the foundation for the development of new business models for machine tool makers and equipment manufacturers as well as new applications for machine tool users.
“參展的機床制造商對于將其機床與MindSphere相連所表現(xiàn)出來的強烈意愿，表明他們看到了基于云的數(shù)字化解決方案的潛力。我們的基于云的物聯(lián)網(wǎng)操作系統(tǒng)為機床制造商贏得競爭優(yōu)勢提供了多種方式，充分利用其廣博的專業(yè)知識，并且為機床操作員開發(fā)高性能的應(yīng)用。這就為新的服務(wù)和業(yè)務(wù)模式奠定了基礎(chǔ)。MindSphere因此成為了開發(fā)和應(yīng)用全新數(shù)字化技術(shù)的關(guān)鍵，在合適的時間助力開發(fā)核心技術(shù)能力。”西門子股份公司運動控制事業(yè)部首席執(zhí)行官Wolfgang Heuring博士在展會上表示。

通過連接MindSphere實現(xiàn)機床操作的數(shù)字化，使機床制造商和運營者能分析和利用大量的機床數(shù)據(jù)，這在以前是不可能實現(xiàn)的。這提高了機床效率和生產(chǎn)網(wǎng)絡(luò)的生產(chǎn)力。MindSphere應(yīng)用程序（MindApps）因此為機床全新應(yīng)用和創(chuàng)新數(shù)字化服務(wù)提供了一個起點，比如在預防性維護、能源數(shù)據(jù)管理以及資源優(yōu)化等方面。MindSphere系統(tǒng)的開放性在此尤為重要，例如，利用開放接口（API）生成針對具體OEM和客戶的應(yīng)用程序以及OPC UA這樣的開放式連接標準。MindSphere因此為發(fā)展面向機床制造商和設(shè)備制造商的新業(yè)務(wù)模式以及面向機床用戶的新應(yīng)用領(lǐng)域奠定了基礎(chǔ)。

西門子MindApps為機床制造商進入數(shù)字化世界提供了基礎(chǔ)功能。機床制造商可借助這些基礎(chǔ)功能，利用其全面的機床和工藝知識，針對客戶開發(fā)并營銷創(chuàng)新的、定制化的應(yīng)用、解決方案和服務(wù)。這使得他們可以監(jiān)控分散在世界各地的分散或集中的機床，以縮短其停機時間。
MindSphere同時也是一個開放式應(yīng)用平臺，可助力工業(yè)領(lǐng)域的客戶提升價值，使用該系統(tǒng)的企業(yè)可全面把控所需的服務(wù)。MindSphere帶來的全新可能性使機床制造商、供應(yīng)商和運營者能為客戶提供全新的服務(wù)。

除了西門子開發(fā)的MindApp“Manage MyMachines”應(yīng)用程序之外，機床制造商及合作伙伴也在西門子展位展示了他們所開發(fā)的MindSphere應(yīng)用程序。
Manage MyMachines--進入數(shù)字化業(yè)務(wù)的敲門磚
西門子針對與源訊合作開發(fā)的“Manage MyMachines”應(yīng)用程序提供了一個插件：“Manage MyMachines/WorkingOrdering”。通過該插件可將“Manage MyMachines”應(yīng)用程序與OEM具體的SAP ERP業(yè)務(wù)流程相連，“Manage MyMachines”也可以采集計劃內(nèi)的機床維護以及計劃外的機器停機等信息。“Manage MyMachines/WorkingOrdering”可自動將這些事件與SAP ERP進行同步，將相關(guān)任務(wù)分配給服務(wù)人員。
“Manage MyMachines”能輕松快速地將Sinumerik 840D這樣的機床數(shù)控系統(tǒng)與MindSphere相連，為用戶提供來自聯(lián)網(wǎng)機床的信息。該應(yīng)用程序能采集、分析和顯示相關(guān)機床數(shù)據(jù)，使用戶能清晰地了解機床的當前以及歷史狀況，從而縮短機床停機時間，優(yōu)化服務(wù)和維修流程，提高生產(chǎn)力。因此，“Manage MyMachines”為那些希望迅速向市場推出基于云的應(yīng)用的機床制造商提供了理想選擇。
攜手機床制造商HELLER開發(fā)應(yīng)用程序“HELLER4Services”
Heller機床技術(shù)股份公司在全球擁有2580名員工，致力于開發(fā)和生產(chǎn)切削加工機床。將Heller生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)與云平臺相連，代表著該公司在工業(yè)4.0進程中邁出了一大步。“HELLER4Services”是“HELLER4Industry”理念的一部分，該理念要求將業(yè)務(wù)活動與價值鏈數(shù)字化相結(jié)合。作為在MindSphere中MindApp的模塊，它涵蓋了數(shù)字化服務(wù)，可降低機床生命周期中的維護和服務(wù)成本。這帶來了一個環(huán)境導向的預防性維護項目，以確保及時預防業(yè)務(wù)中斷和代價高昂的停機等狀況。
“HELLER4Services”是通過“HELLER服務(wù)界面”對機床數(shù)據(jù)和相關(guān)圖形進行評估的。該應(yīng)用程序從而可提供全方位的機床狀況視圖，針對每一個時間段進行數(shù)據(jù)分析，并同步生產(chǎn)階段的流程數(shù)據(jù)與發(fā)生的錯誤信息。
攜手IT服務(wù)提供商源訊開發(fā)MindApp
作為與西門子合作的一部分，源訊針對MindSphere的應(yīng)用理念和設(shè)計提供服務(wù)。源訊已經(jīng)開發(fā)了6款MindApps，其中包括“Manufacturing Sustainability App”和“Production Confirmation App”。源訊利用MindApp將來自生產(chǎn)機床和不同管理系統(tǒng)的數(shù)據(jù)集成到MindSphere，數(shù)據(jù)在此進行收集和處理（采用大數(shù)據(jù)分析形式）。MindSphere用戶因此可獲得關(guān)于生產(chǎn)現(xiàn)狀和預期狀態(tài)的滾動信息以及針對具體位置的信息。源訊提供的即插即用型應(yīng)用程序以及全面的集成、基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和安全服務(wù)為打造針對具體客戶的MindSphere應(yīng)用奠定了基礎(chǔ)。其重點是開發(fā)出使MindSphere客戶能無縫連接至其現(xiàn)有IT系統(tǒng)的即插即用型應(yīng)用程序。
