Empowering small and medium-sized manufacturers for digital transformation

Small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) face unique manufacturing challenges including limited resources and the need for scalable and affordable solutions. This webinar, featuring insights from Siemens experts, delves into how Siemens Xcelerator is specifically designed to empower SMBs on their journey to digitalization.

Discover how you can optimize production, streamline operations, and stay competitive in today's rapidly evolving industrial landscape, all without overwhelming your budget or technical capabilities.

This session will highlight Siemens' commitment to making digital adoption accessible and manageable for manufacturers of all sizes.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• How Siemens Xcelerator supports SMBs in their digital transformation
• Strategies for simplifying digital solutions, especially for production optimization
• Details about Siemens' portfolio of industrial edge solutions
• How the "Quick Setup Tool" makes digital adoption easier
• The benefits of an accessible and affordable subscription model for digital tools.

Overcoming complexity with the quick setup tool

Historically, industrial digital solutions were too complex and resource-intensive for SMBs to adopt easily.

To eliminate this barrier, you can utilize Siemens' focused portfolio of 10 industrial edge solutions that address the core needs of production optimization.

Utilizing the innovative Quick Setup Tool, manufacturers can install these edge-to-cloud capabilities on a standard machine in approximately 60 minutes.

This streamlined approach enables business leaders to quickly establish equipment baselines, calculate Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), and visualize machine status without requiring specialized IT teams or lengthy implementation phases.

Accessible scaling: try, buy, and extend

Budget constraints and upfront costs often hinder digital transformation. To make innovation accessible, this curated solution offers a three-month free trial, allowing you to experience tangible operational value before making a financial commitment.

Following the trial, a flexible subscription model of $2,000 per year covers operations for up to your first five machines. As your production scales, you can seamlessly integrate extension packages such as Opcenter X for scheduling, Industrial Asset Hub for asset management, or SINEC Security Guard for cybersecurity.

Our trusted partner network is available through the Siemens Xcelerator marketplace to provide cost-effective deployment support.

Expanding optimization into the full digital thread

Production optimization is only one phase of the digital journey. Siemens is actively building out a complete digital thread that connects how you design products to how you operate your facilities.

Following this production-focused bundle, Siemens will introduce affordable, subscription-based packages for the production design space, incorporating tools like Teamcenter, NX, and Simcenter.

This end-to-end approach will soon allow SMBs to design, simulate, and test new products with the same level of accessibility and integration found in our operational technology offerings.
