SIEMENS PORTUGAL / 2026 COMPETITION

Siemens Accelerate NextGen 26

An annual competition by Siemens Portugal for engineering students. Teams develop applied solutions to real challenges in sustainable digital transformation.

The competition has two tracks: energy infrastructure and industrial automation. Participants work with Siemens technology and specialists, and finalist teams present at the Siemens campus in Alfragide.

OUR FINALIST PROJECT

Signalis

An intelligent industrial monitoring and management platform for predictive maintenance, machine health analysis, and production-line optimization.

A clearer picture of factory health

Factory data is often spread across sensors, machines, production lines, and maintenance systems. Signalis brings readings, machine states, alerts, and service tasks into one place, helping teams understand what is happening and decide what to do next.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

From sensor reading to production response

01

SENSE

Collect readings

A REST API receives sensor values as JSON and stores timestamped readings. A simulator generates test data for active sensors: 95% OK, 4.5% Warning, and 0.5% Critical readings.

02

DIAGNOSE

Assess machine health

Each reading is compared with its expected range and the current production-line load. The machine is classified as OK, Warning, or Critical.

03

RESPOND

Schedule action

Alerts and maintenance orders are created for the operator. A Warning schedules line downtime for maintenance; a Critical fault blocks the line immediately and schedules maintenance for the next hour with operators on duty.

04

RECOVER

Keep production moving

When a line is disrupted, Signalis reallocates affected production slots to compatible lines. The dashboard reflects operational status and the impact of each event.

WHAT SETS IT APART

From monitoring to action

Signalis is designed to do more than display factory data. It connects sensor analysis to automated alerts, maintenance scheduling, and production reallocation, helping teams respond to faults before they ripple through a line.
