| With Plant Intelligence to universal transparency and high productivity |
| Efficient Decisions |
|  Efficient DecisionsProduction processes are becoming increasingly complex. Fast product changes, fluctuating plant workloads and growing quality demands are just some of the factors which can have a negative influence on the productivity of a plant. To largely avoid this, frequent decisions have to be made - on all levels of a company and in real time as far as possible.

| Dematic develops an asset management solution with RFID |
| When Containers Send Radio Signals |
|  When Containers Send Radio SignalsThe new EPCglobal radio frequency identification standard also gave impulses for the industrial RFID users. Low cost data media, long reading range and worldwide availability are convincing arguments for the technology. Dematic, a leading provider of RFID-controlled logistics systems, integrates the products into innovative solutions in a new technology center.

| Accurate dimensioning of machines and systems with Safety Integrated |
| Economical Safety |
|  Economical SafetyEnsuring safety in automatic processes is not only a question of human obligation but also of economic reason. According to this principle of Werner von Siemens, Siemens Safety Integrated offers comprehensive systems for the production and process industry which can be combined with optimum services for all phases of the life of a safety system or machine.

| Certified safety components simplify press automation |
| Safe Pressing |
|  Safe PressingThe high safety standards in presses demand the fastest response times from the controller and a defined sequence of safety functions. The press safety library makes automation of press safety functions even easier and more economical. The user also has a much lower engineering effort - from the concept phase to the utility model testing.

| Trouble-free RFID operation by Simatic RF-Manager |
| Mediator Between the Levels |
|  Mediator Between the LevelsThe main job of RFID systems is the automatic recording of goods and objects. However, the full potential of this new technology cannot be exploited until the read data are used and networked intelligently. To do this, RFID middleware such as the Simatic RF-Manager takes over the role of mediator between the writers/readers and master IT systems.

| ALPHA 400-ZS and BETA Low-Voltage Protection Covers Every Project Requirement |
| Triple pre-meter protection |
|  Triple pre-meter protectionBack in 2006 the TAB 2000 (Technische Anschlussbedingungen - Technical Connection Conditions) were modified to permit the use of fuses in the pre-meter area again. Now the release of the TAB 2007 is imminent, which makes the new lightweight and easy to install meter cabinets Alpha 400-ZS in conjunction with Beta low-voltage circuit-breakers an attractive option in more than one respect. After all, they enable the users to respond to customer requirements even more flexibly by providing them with three solutions for the protection at the intermediate meter: Selective main branch protective circuit breaker (SHU), MINIZED switch disconnector or NH00 fuses.
