  • Siemens Launches Network Booster Software to Interconnect Data Across Sorting Centers
    Press Siemens Logistics Constance, July 7, 2020 Siemens launches Network Booster software to interconnect data across sorting centers • Real-time data visualization of processes in parcel and mail distribution networks • Advanced analytics for end-to-end monitoring and control of item flows • Optimized network performance and maximized productivity Siemens Logistics is launching its new Network Booster software for parcel and mail distribution networks. This innovative solution creates full visibility of processes within a network and allows enhanced network performance. Features include full monitoring and recording of throughput for each connected logistics center and high-end visualization and analysis of performance data. Thanks to the real-time collection of operational data, the software enables to quickly identify operational irregularities, localize bottlenecks, and respond rapidly to reduce negative impacts on overall network performance. An example is the detection of items looping between sorting centers and the information required to extract these items. Recirculating parcels are a frequently occurring problem, leading to higher costs. Thanks to Network Booster, unnecessary sorting and transport costs caused by recirculations can be reduced by at least 80 percent. Mail and parcel service providers benefit from increased operational efficiency and overall network profitability. “Due to the corona pandemic, shopping opportunities are still limited in some countries. At the same time, e-commerce is booming, and we are seeing

  • Siemens to Supply Underground Trains to Munich Eco-Friendly, Energy-Saving Trains Featuring Service-Proven Technology
    Press Presse Press Presse Industry Sector Mobility Division Berlin, Germany, November 23, 2010 Siemens to supply underground trains to Munich Eco-friendly, energy-saving trains featuring service-proven technology Munich City Utilities (SWM) have placed an order with Siemens Mobility for 21 new C2 type underground trains worth about 185 million euros. At the same time, SWM have taken out two options on a further 46 underground trains, totaling 276 cars, which can be exercised until 2016 and 2020, respectively. The total volume of the order, including these options, is around 550 million euros. Hans-Joerg Grundmann, CEO of the Siemens Mobility Division, said, “We’re proud to be able to continue our longstanding customer relationship with SWM and its subsidiary, Munich Public Transportation Company (MVG). This order represents a milestone project for us in our home market. During the development of the Munich vehicle we placed particular importance on environmentally clean, low CO2 technology.” Siemens is one of the biggest suppliers of underground trains on the world market. The further development of today’s C car enables Siemens to build on the success of the previous car generation, for which Siemens had already borne full responsibility as general contractor. This service-proven system is combined with innovative technologies reflecting the latest developments in metro vehicles marketed by Siemens under the name Inspiro. The technologies ensure a high degree of reliability and comfort. For Munich, Siemens will supply metro trains that are especially eco-friendly and energy-efficient. The reduced energy consumption is attributable to a combination of different innovative designs.

  • The Design and Technology of Modern Light Rail Vehicles
    MODERN LIGHT RAIL VEHICLES Fit for Purpose? The Design and Technology of Modern Light Rail Vehicles Tony Prescott The objective of this paper is to describe the major technology issues By the 1940s, development of the tram came to a halt in the US and of modern light rail vehicles, not only for the layperson, but also for Britain, once two of the leaders in world tram systems. However, in decision-makers who have to select light rail vehicles for city systems Europe design improvements continued unabated, often using PCC from an array of dazzling and usually superficial publicity for different technology, and a large tram industry thrived, particularly in Germany, the brands and models. It is important to go behind the gloss to see a few former Soviet Union and what is now the Czech Republic. Between 1945 facts more clearly. and the 1990s, the Czechs produced some 23,000 trams, largely based To most people, modern light rail vehicles, also known as trams, are, on face on PCC technology, the former Soviet Union some 15,000 and Germany value, pretty-much standard-design, low-floor articulated rail vehicles that some 8,000. Smaller numbers were developed and/or produced in some epitomise the modern renaissance of trams in city streets. But behind the other countries such as Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden and Poland. By façade of the elegant designs and glossy publicity there is a technological comparison, the few other world countries operating trams during this scenario still being played out, accompanied by a lot of dubious claims, and period, such as Australia and Canada, produced very small numbers using all is not quite as simple and straightforward as it seems.

  • Véhicule Automatique Léger
    Véhicule automatique léger Véhicule automatique léger (VAL, deutsch: „leichtes automatisches Fahrzeug“) ist ein besonders leicht gebautes, fahrerloses, spurgeführtes Personennahverkehrsmittel, das sowohl als Peoplemover z. B. in Flughäfen als auch als Stadtschnellbahnsystem eingesetzt wird. Ursprünglich von Matra entwickelt, ist VAL heute ein Produkt von Siemens Mobility. Inhaltsverzeichnis Technik VAL 208 (links) und VAL 206 der Neoval Métro Lille Cityval Airval Installationen Fahrzeugtypen Projekte Galerie Siehe auch Einzelnachweise Weblinks Technik Die Trag- und Antriebsfunktion wird durch gummibereifte Räder auf einem Betonfahrweg ausgeübt. Seitliche Führungsräder rollen an seitlich angebrachten Führungsschienen entlang. An Stellen, wo die seitlichen Führungsschienen unterbrochen sind, wie beispielsweise in Weichen, übernehmen Führungsschienen in der Fahrwegmitte die seitliche Führung. Die Val 206 der Metro Toulouse auf der Weichenfunktion wird durch eine einzelne Führungsschienen übernehmen die Linie A Zunge zwischen den Führungsschienen seitliche Führung in einer Weiche – realisiert, in etwa vergleichbar mit einer hier OrlyVAL. beweglichen Herzstückspitze in Weichen von Zweischienenbahnen. Das System basiert auf einer Erfindung von Professor Robert Gabillard (Université Lille Nord de France) und wurde Anfang der 1980er Jahre von der Firma Matra Transport entwickelt. Die Abteilung Verkehrstechnik von Matra gehört seit 2001 vollständig zu Siemens Transportation Systems. Erstmals angewendet wurde das VAL-System 1983 bei der damals neu gebauten Métro Lille. Es eignet sich aufgrund der geringeren Kosten besonders gut für mittelgroße Städte. Das Akronym bedeutete ursprünglich Villeneuve-d’Ascq à Lille (deutsch: „Villeneuve-d’Ascq nach Lille“) und bezeichnete die beiden Endpunkte der ersten Strecke. Erst später wurde daraus véhicule automatique léger. Wie auch bei einigen anderen fahrerlosen Personenbeförderungssystemen sind die Bahnsteige beim VAL-System durch transparente Glaswände mit eingelassenen Bahnsteigtüren von den Gleisen getrennt.
