Siemens Automation and Drives believe that today’s manufacturing companies need suppliers that have a clear understanding of their business needs. Underpinning that understanding is a belief that our role is to provide the technical understanding necessary for our customers to achieve their business objectives".
Increasingly, as manufacturing companies concentrate on their core business, suppliers of automation and control equipment need to provide solutions that can be quickly and efficiently converted into business solutions. With the maturing of computing and communication standards it is now possible to achieve integrated systems and solutions that go beyond the traditional shop floor and plant systems.
Much of the research effort within Siemens, and we are one of the top investors in R&D, has gone into the promotion, adoption and integration into our own products of internationally recognised standards. Through this route we believe that not only does it improve our ability to supply our customers with more easily installed, integrated and maintained systems but also protects their investment by allowing other suppliers’ products to be used in conjunction with our systems
