Siemens Regensburg - Leveraging MES to Elevate the Future of Manufacturing

Dear all,

Happy New Year! It has been a while since we last met but we are now back and are very pleased to announce our next Meetup. This time we are leaving our personal comfort zone and will be exploring an area of data science that is not really linked to natural language processing or information retrieval (common themes of many previous talks). Instead we will learn about practical use cases rooted in actual production systems. Let's all welcome Jennifer Royes (Implementer and Cybersecurity Contact) and Laura Wallinger (Head of Operational Technology) for some exciting insights into Siemens production here in Regensburg.

We meet again in H25 (Vielberth Building on campus). The Zoom link will be announced soon.

Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Udo, Bernd and David

P.S.: We are looking forward to many of you making your way to the university campus but also plan to provide Zoom access to those that cannot attend in person.

P.P.S.: We might even be able to bring along some small beverages to celebrate the end of Dry January.

Speakers:
Jennifer Royes (Implementer and Cybersecurity Contact)

Laura Wallinger (Head of Operational Technology @ Siemens EP EMS Manufacturing Regensburg)

Title:
Siemens Regensburg - Leveraging MES to Elevate the Future of Manufacturing

Abstract:
Siemens' Regensburg facility produces millions of RCCB and MCB units annually. The Manufacturing Engineering System (MES) empowers operators to make informed, data-driven decisions, optimize workflows, and address bottlenecks proactively through analytics and visualization. To manage this vast output, the plant relies on a MES, which integrates seamlessly with automation systems, providing visibility. The MES empowers operators to make informed decisions, optimize workflows, and address bottlenecks proactively through advanced analytics and visualization. This data-driven approach has enabled the Regensburg plant to achieve new levels of efficiency, flexibility, and product quality. Looking ahead, Siemens plans to further leverage the MES to drive greater innovation, agility, and sustainability in its manufacturing.
