A New Innovative Perspective on the Manufacturing World from Siemens​

Siemens has launched a new initiative called "Meet at the Machine" to accelerate innovation in the machine tool industry and help manufacturers achieve productivity faster by bringing together machine builders, software, and automation technologies.

A New Era in Manufacturing with Digital Transformation​

"Meet at the Machine" provides a framework for Siemens and machine builders to offer integrated machining solutions that address real manufacturing challenges. This initiative aims to make manufacturing customers more efficient and improve quality and performance. By combining engineering software, automation hardware, and machine expertise into a single solution, it helps machine builders deliver differentiated value.

Smart Solutions for Manufacturers' Challenges​

Today's manufacturers face increasing complexity, labor shortages, and pressure to become efficient faster. While advancements in software, automation, and digitalization continue to create new opportunities, many manufacturers still struggle to connect these technologies into efficient production workflows.

Leap in Productivity with Seamless Digital Workflow​

Siemens officials state that the next step in machining innovation is to ensure top-level productivity from the machine's first run by creating a seamless digital workflow that connects engineering, programming, virtual verification, and execution. By improving data flow throughout the part manufacturing lifecycle, organizations can reduce complexity, accelerate commissioning time, and establish a foundation for continuous improvement.

Up to 50% Acceleration with "Meet at the Machine"​

Mark Hindsbo, President of Siemens Operating Software, said, "The reality of manufacturing has always been at the machine. By bringing together engineering software, automation hardware, and machine expertise, we enable our customers and users to become productive faster, accelerate their return on investment, and reduce commissioning time by up to 50%."

Collaboration with TRAK Machine Tools: Productivity from Day One​

The first phase of this initiative, developed in collaboration with TRAK Machine Tools, focuses on enabling part manufacturers to be productive from day one. This solution combines software, automation, and machine expertise in a connected workflow, allowing manufacturers to program, simulate, and verify production while the machine is still being built.

Challenging Traditional Approaches​

Traditionally, many programming, verification, and training activities only begin after a machine is installed. The new initiative moves these activities to an earlier stage in the process, helping manufacturers prepare for production and reduce commissioning time before physical machine delivery.
