Our understanding of an application is the customer?specific solution of an automation task based on standard hardware and software components. In this respect, industry knowledge and technological expertise are just as important as expert knowledge about how our products and systems work. We are setting ourselves this challenge with more than 160 application engineers at 20 locations in 13 countries.

Application centers

We currently have application centers in:

• Germany: Head Office Erlangen and 6 German regions, e.g. in Munich,
  Nuremberg, Stuttgart, Mannheim, Frankfurt, Chemnitz,
  Cologne, Bielefeld, Bremen, Hanover, Hamburg
• Italy: Bologna, Milan
• USA: Atlanta
• China: Beijing, Shanghai
• France: Paris
• Turkey: Istanbul
• India: Mumbai
• Switzerland: Zurich
• United Kingdom: Manchester
• Brazil: Sao Paulo
• Japan: Tokyo, Osaka
• The Netherlands: The Hague
• Denmark: Ballerup

These application centers specialize in the use of SIMOTION/SINAMICS. You can therefore rely on automation and drive specialists for implementing successful applications. By involving your personnel at an early stage in the process, we can provide a solid basis for rapid knowledge transfer, maintenance and further development of your automation solution.

Advice on applications and implementation

We offer a variety of consultation services to help you find the optimum solution for the SIMOTION/SINAMICS application you want to implement.

The quotation phase includes:

• Clarification of technical questions
• Discussion of machine concepts and customer?specific solutions
• Selection of suitable technology and
• Suggestions for implementation

A technical feasibility study is also performed at the outset. In this way, difficult points of the application can be identified and solved early on. We can also configure and implement your application as a complete solution including control cabinet from a single source.

During the implementation phase a number of proven standards can be applied. This saves engineering costs.

The system can be commissioned by experienced, competent personnel, if required. This saves time and trouble.

If servicing is required, we can support you on site or via teleservice. For further information about servicing, please see "Service & Support".

On?site application training

Training for the implemented applications can also be organized and carried out on site. This training for machine manufacturers and their customers does not deal with individual products, but the entire hardware and software system (for example, automation, drives and visualization).

From an initial concept to successful installation and commissioning: We can provide complete support for SIMOTION/SINAMICS! Contact your Siemens representative.
