Siemens product manager Alexander Drexl walks through the latest electrical products and data-driven use cases that connect electrification, automation and smart manufacturing into one continuous lifecycle. The tour starts from the ET 200SP e-Starter, a fully electronic motor starter using semiconductor technology and SiC MOSFETs to detect and clear short circuits in a few microseconds, with virtually wear-free switching, unlimited short-circuit trips and full integration into TIA Portal and SIMATIC STEP 7 for diagnostics and engineering. The device carries the Siemens EcoTech label for reduced losses, material efficiency and longer service life, making it a key building block for predictive maintenance and energy-efficient operation https://www.siemens.com/e-starter

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

From there, he moves into low-voltage power distribution with the SIVACON S8plus cabinet system, where customers can configure switchboards not only for technical performance but also for sustainability criteria such as CO2 footprint, recyclability and use of green steel. Design verification according to IEC 61439 is combined with digital planning tools so that users can compare different architectures, see the expected return on investment versus ecological impact, and choose layouts that balance reliability, maintainability and environmental footprint.
In the advanced machine engineering area, Siemens shows how mechanical design (NX), electrical schematics (EPLAN) and automation software can be unified through logical machine modules such as robots or cameras. OEMs can drag-and-drop these modules into new projects and automatically inherit wiring, software objects and kinematics, enabling reuse across multiple machine variants. This is complemented by the new S220 motion control cabinet, which increases power density and doubles the number of controllable axes per control unit from six to twelve, supporting more complex multi-axis machines without enlarging the control cabinet footprint.
The smart manufacturing section focuses on virtual PLC concepts and AI-assisted quality inspection. A vision system with the Inspector software classifies good and bad parts using only a small set of good samples, with the control logic running on an industrial PC and in the cloud instead of a dedicated hardware PLC. On top of this, Siemens presents a new zero-trust communication platform, giving customers granular control over which data leaves each asset, across both brownfield and greenfield installations, aligning OT cybersecurity architectures with modern IT policies and regulatory expectations.
Sustainability runs throughout the booth, from relays molded with recycled plastics to switchgear and SIVACON S8plus cabinets built from green steel, all monitored under the EcoTech label that now spans tens of thousands of product variants and supports customers’ ESG reporting and CO2 pricing strategies. Recorded at SPS 2025 in Nuremberg, this video only samples a fraction of a vast Siemens showcase covering AI-ready drives, digital twins, zero-trust OT networks and data-driven services, all aimed at making industrial plants more energy-efficient, maintainable and transparent over their full lifecycle.
