Siemens says its automation technologies cover the entire production process. Pictured above is Siemens’ new TIA Portal V15 (Totally Integrated Automation Portal), which the company says is extending its range of “digitalisation” functions to shorten engineering times. These include such things as simulation tools and diagnostic and energy management functions.
