By Staff Report January 28, 2025 3:01 pm IST
MACHINUM makes digital, sustainable transformation easier, faster and scalable with Siemens Xcelerator. It aims to improve time to market up to 20% and reduce energy consumption by up to 18%.
Siemens launched MACHINUM, a digitalstation portfolio designed to accelerate the speed, agility, and endurance of the Indian machine tool industry, at IMTEX 2025. MACHINUM can reduce setup time by up to 20%* and cycle times and energy consumption by up to 18%**.
With the increased investment in India by high-end manufacturing units serving local and export markets, the Indian machine tool market is undergoing a significant digital transformation, driven by the adoption of advanced technologies to support this growth. The demand for sophisticated machine tools is fueled by the need for high precision, customisation, and the integration of technology into manufacturing processes.
Achim Peltz, CEO of Siemens Motion Control, Digital Industries, Siemens AG, “With the launch of the MACHINUM portfolio, we are shaping the sustainable, digital, and future-proof transformation of the machine tool manufacturing ecosystem in India.”
MACHINUM is an integral part of Siemens Xcelerator, the open digital business platform that includes a portfolio of software and IoT-enabled hardware, an ecosystem of partners, and a marketplace. With MACHINUM, companies in the machine tool industry can make digital transformation easier, faster, and scalable in manufacturing and design.Siemens will also showcase the upgraded 5th generation SINUMERIK 828D, paving the way for SINUMERIK Run MyVirtual Machine. This innovative feature allows NC programs to be created, validated, and optimised using a digital twin of the machine without interrupting production, reducing setup time on the real machine by up to 20% and minimising production risks. With cutting-edge features like Digital Twin readiness, effortless HMI customisation, and 40% faster program buffering, it streamlines operations and improves efficiency. The high-resolution display ensures clear operator visibility, while robust cybersecurity, including IEC 62443 compliance, safeguards systems from threats.
Vijay Pratap Singh, Head of Motion Control, Digital Industries, Siemens Limited, said, “Our energy-efficient hardware, operational technology, and digitalisation are key to boosting sustainability in machine tool manufacturing. At IMTEX 2025, our focus is to showcase components with high energy efficiency and lower carbon footprint and applications to compensate, recover, and limit the energy consumed. Such a seamless portfolio helps machine tool manufacturers and users save costs while being more productive with fewer resources.”
