  • Welcome back to the fifth episode of the Sustainability podcast series. We are privileged again to continue our ongoing conversation with Eryn Devola, Head of Sustainability at Siemens Digital Industries, and Rahul Garg, VP of Industrial Machinery and SMB Business Program at Siemens Digital Industries Software. Eryn and Rahul discuss current trends in the industrial machinery industry and what is driving the need for sustainability.
    Eryn references a quote about how a sustainable society doesn't require a few people to do things perfectly but needs everyone to do them imperfectly. She elaborates by saying that the most essential thing that entities can do is start it and get it going. Sustainability is not merely hiring a few people to address sustainability but infusing sustainability, quality, and environmental protection considerations into almost every organizational role.
    Specific topics covered include:

    Minimizing standby energy usage by taking core technical or business-focused skillsets and applying sustainability principles and considerations.

    Reaching the eventual goal of sustainability – zero waste. The zero downtime, zero harm and zero impact on the planet with low-cost clean, renewable energy use – driving towards decarbonization, energy efficiency, resource efficiency, and circularity.

    Learning digitalization is a key enabler, providing the ability to think bigger and broader, bringing forward less intuitive ideas and leveraging technology.

  • Hi there, and thanks for tuning in again! In this fourth podcast of our continuing Sustainability series, we are joined again by Eryn Devola, Head of Sustainability at Siemens Digital Industries, and Rahul Garg, VP of Industrial Machinery and SMB Business Program at Siemens Digital Industries Software. Eryn and Rahul continue their discussion on the current trends in industrial machinery and what is driving the need for sustainability.
    In this fourth episode, they cover aspects of OT/IT convergence that assist in controlling and predicting what's going happening on the production floor, managing the energy use of equipment, or optimizing it based on looking at minimizing resources. They also discuss digitalization in the virtual world, being able to start from scratch again and again, making it easy to take advantage of the benefits of a digital twin, leveraging it to reduce times and cost, using a digital twin to all the various operations, optimizing them, making production more flexible and predictive.
    Specific topics covered include:

    A one percent reduction in the industrial carbon footprint means 70 million tons of CO2 emissions per year.

    The carbon emission impact can be driven by making the machines more efficient regarding energy usage and energy resource impact on the planet.

    Using digital twins to simulate hundreds of variations ensures correct design choices.

    Optimizing the process helps you optimize your performance, and in turn, it helps maximize sustainability requirements.

    Virtual commissioning and a digital twin can help understand the carbon impact by assisting with peak performance, sustainability, and machines' carbon impact.

  • In today’s competitive market, increasing pressure is being placed on manufacturers. Tied into that pressure is the need to expedite production and bring products to the market faster than ever before. Meeting those needs while keeping part quality at a premium hasn’t been the easiest package to deliver. That is, until highly-automated CAM changed everything. 

    Understanding the importance of efficiency in high-level manufacturing, the designers behind CAM sought to create a solution that digitized the design and manufacturing process, while connecting the various types of software from every aspect of the part-making process. It also allows companies to capture and reuse data, minimize waste, and increase overall efficiency. With CAM, manufacturers can now pivot quickly when digital threats arise.
     
    Today, we’re taking an in-depth look at highly automated CAM, or Computer-Aided Manufacturing. Here to help us understand how this technology works are Sashko Kurciski, leader of the marketing efforts for Siemens part manufacturing software portfolio, and Rahul Garg, Industry Leader for Siemens Industrial Machinery.

    In this episode, you’ll hear about how CAM links manufacturing, engineering, and production, resulting in better efficiency and simplified communication across the board. Sashko and Rahul will also share a couple of real-world examples of early adopters to CAM, and you’ll hear how manufacturers are differentiating themselves by taking advantage of this technology. 

    In this episode you will learn:

    A breakdown of CAM software and how it helps manufacturers (2:38)

    One example of a highly automated CAM solution (4:51)
