The new Drivetrain Analyser Onsite
Siemens has unveiled its Drivetrain Analyser Onsite (DTA Onsite), a new on-premises analytics solution designed for industrial drive systems. The software allows users to evaluate drive data within their own infrastructure and meet stringent data-sovereignty requirements
As the first module of the new solutions, Siemens is releasing DTA Onsite- Monitoring, which enables continuous condition monitoring of mechanical and electrical drivetrain components utilising locally executed AI methods for pattern recognition and anomaly detection.
DTA Onsite- Monitoring can capture high-resolution, including precision time protocol (PTP) synchronised vibration and analogue signals acquired via the Connection Modules Vibration (CM VIB), Fast Process Parameters (CM FPP), and IOT (CM IOT). This includes analogue values, fingerprint information, and vibration data, which are preprocessed locally and analysed in the system.
The user interface provides plant-level overviews, KPI trend views, and diagnostic dashboards, accessible through a standard web browser. The integrated Industrial AI can identify deviation from typical drivetrain behaviours and provide an indication of potential mechanical changes and early-stage wear. All data stays within the user’s own infrastructure, as the analytics are executed on the industrial PC.
With Drivetrain Analyser Onsite, Siemens is expanding its drivetrain analytics portfolio with a solution tailored for users preferring local data processing. The Drivetrain Analyser Cloud supports cross-site, cloud-based analyses and fleet-level evaluations, whereas DTA Onsite targets industrial environments where data sovereignty, latency requirements or isolated network architectures are key considerations. Both systems follow the same modular concept but differ in regulatory deployment contexts, operating models, and integration environments.
DTA Onsite can run on industrial PCs using a containerised software architecture. The solution supports open, documented interfaces such as OPC UA, MQTT, and gRPC, allowing integration with SCADA systems, edge platforms, industrial IPC environments, and maintenance software. Data streams from sensors and automation equipment are consolidated locally and visualised through a unified monitoring interface.
DTA Onsite- Monitoring is deployable in a variety of industrial environments and is designed for applications with variable load, speed, and operating profiles. This includes production machinery such as extruders, packaging machines, and textile machines, where mechanical and process-related changes must be detected as soon as possible.
The solution is also suitable for infrastructure applications, such as pump stations, compressors, and conveyor systems, which often operate continuously or under varying load conditions. Motion-control applications with dynamic movement profiles could also benefit from the monitoring capabilities, as load peaks and changing operating states are systematically captured and analysed.
