Siemens is launching Drivetrain Analyser Onsite (DTA Onsite), a new on-premises analytics solution for industrial drive systems. The software allows users to analyse drive data entirely within their own infrastructure to meet strict data-sovereignty requirements. As the initial module of this new solution, Siemens is releasing DTA Onsite – Monitoring, which offers continuous condition monitoring of mechanical and electrical drivetrain components using locally run AI methods for pattern recognition and anomaly detection.
Monitoring as a new module for local condition assessment
DTA Onsite – Monitoring captures high-resolution data, including vibration and analogue signals, synchronised via the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), acquired through the Connection Modules Vibration (CM VIB), Fast Process Parameters (CM FPP), and IoT (CM IOT). This includes vibration data, analogue values, and fingerprint information, which are preprocessed locally before analysis within the system. The user interface provides plant-level overviews, KPI trend displays, and detailed diagnostic dashboards — all accessible via a standard web browser. The integrated Industrial AI detects deviations from typical drivetrain behaviour, indicating potential mechanical issues or early-stage wear. All data remains within the user’s own infrastructure, as analytics are performed entirely on the industrial PC.
Drivetrain Analyser Onsite complements the existing cloud-based offering
With Drivetrain Analyser Onsite, Siemens enhances its drivetrain analytics portfolio with a solution designed for users prioritising strict local data processing. The Drivetrain Analyser Cloud, introduced last year, supports cross-site, cloud-based analyses and fleet-level evaluations. Conversely, DTA Onsite targets industrial settings where data sovereignty, latency, or isolated network architectures are critical. Both systems follow the same modular concept but differ in their operational models, integration environments, and regulatory deployment contexts. Like Drivetrain Analyser Cloud, DTA Onsite forms part of Siemens Xcelerator.
DTA Onsite operates on industrial PCs and employs a containerised software architecture. It supports open, documented interfaces such as MQTT, gRPC, and OPC UA, facilitating integration into SCADA systems, edge platforms, industrial IPC environments, and maintenance software. Data streams from sensors and automation devices are consolidated locally and visualised via a unified monitoring interface.
DTA Onsite – Monitoring can be deployed across a broad spectrum of industrial environments and is particularly suited for applications with variable load, speed, and operating profiles. This includes production machinery such as extruders, packaging machines, and textile equipment, for which early detection of mechanical and process-related changes is essential. It is equally 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 also benefit from the detailed monitoring capabilities, as load peaks and changing operational states are systematically captured and analysed.
