(Siemens: Munich) -- Siemens has launched a new Intralogistics vertical to bring material-handling thought leadership, hardware automation, software, and service solutions to its U.S. customers.

The company leverages its broad technology to address digital transformation, cybersecurity, safety, and sustainability. This new group will operate both as a vertical industry group and a horizontal business operation, and it will reside within the Siemens Digital Industries/Motion Control business. Additionally, it will function in tandem with the organization’s existing additive manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, food-and-beverage, and other industry verticals.

Such a development will serve machine builders and end-customers alike. For example, using the Siemens TIA Portal, a warehouse facility or postal clearing house will be able to integrate all its motion-control hardware, software systems, and communications protocols. Additionally, Siemens digital twin and simulation technologies allow a warehouse or manufacturing operation to test all the “what ifs” before tackling a material handling challenge.
