Sinumerik from Siemens becomes a digital native
With Sinumerik ONE, the first digital native CNC, Siemens is driving forward digital transformation in the machine tool industry. The new controller works with software to create the machine controller and associated digital twin from one engineering system and thus contributes to the seamless integration of hardware and software. Thanks to its seamless interaction between virtual and real world as well as high-performance hardware, Sinumerik ONE is setting new standards in terms of productivity, performance and digitalization. It is the future-proof CNC for machine tools in the increasingly digital world of manufacturing. Both machine manufacturers and machine operators benefit from the universal digital twin for the product, production and performance.
With Sinumerik ONE, machine tool manufacturers can virtually map their entire development processes, significantly reducing the product development phase and time to market for new machines. The virtual preparation of commissioning can also reduce the duration of actual commissioning considerably. The virtual model of the machine opens up new possibilities for manufacturers and operators alike. Machine concepts and functions can be discussed – even before real hardware is available. The realistic processing simulation provided by Sinumerik ONE enables machine users to simulate the programming of workpieces and the setup and operation of machines completely on the PC. Employee training can also be carried out using the digital twin instead of on the actual machine.
