Siemens to build new digital factory in Nanjing

2018-12-17

• New investment of more than RMB 0.8 billion on the basis of existing assets

• The design and operation concept of "industrial 4.0" will be adopted, combining Siemens digital enterprise concept and intelligent manufacturing technology

It is expected to start production in 2020, and all existing production capacity of Siemens CNC (Nanjing) Co., Ltd. will be migrated.

Today, Siemens CNC (Nanjing) Co., Ltd. (SNC) signed an investment cooperation agreement with Nanjing Lishui Economic Development Zone to invest in the construction of a digital factory in Nanjing, with an additional investment of more than 0.8 billion yuan on the basis of existing assets. As SNC's new R & D and production base, the new factory will use Siemens' full range of digital enterprise technologies in accordance with the design and operation concept of "industrial 4.0" to provide "digital twins" covering the whole life cycle of product design, production planning, engineering implementation, manufacturing and maintenance services ". In addition, the new facility will be managed with the help of Siemens' cloud-based open IoT operating system MindSphere.

In the 22 years since SNC was established, its business has grown nearly 70 times. The existing plant can no longer meet the needs of the rapid development of China and the Asia-Pacific market, so SNC plans to expand its production capacity. "This will be one of Siemens' largest investment projects in the world for R & D and production bases in recent years. It will be used as an integrated factory to produce electronic products and motors at the same time." Li Lei, general manager of Siemens CNC (Nanjing) Co., said, "The increased investment in Nanjing reflects our confidence and commitment to the Chinese market. The new SNC base will become an important part of Siemens' global R & D and manufacturing network."

According to the plan, the construction area of the new SNC base is about 70000 square meters, the production capacity will be doubled, and the capacity for further expansion will be reserved. Upon completion, all of SNC's existing capacity will be relocated to the new site. The new base will implement the LEED International Green Building Gold Award standard and become a benchmark for green enterprises.

SNC was established in 1996. Its main product lines cover products such as CNC systems, general-purpose inverters and servo motors. They are widely used in high-end manufacturing industries such as automobiles, aviation, electronics, pharmaceuticals, logistics, and new energy, and a large number of products are exported to overseas markets. In the past 22 years, SNC has contributed a lot of tax revenue and employment opportunities to Nanjing, and has also promoted the development of the supplier system in and around Nanjing. At present, SNC has become the largest research and development center of Siemens outside Germany in the field of research and development of similar products.
