Siemens, SiePortal, SIMATIC, and related names are trademarks of Siemens AG. Product data is read from publicly accessible Siemens web sources only; no proprietary databases are redistributed.

This Actor is provided for informational and research purposes only (e.g. procurement research, BOM audits, internal engineering workflows). You are solely responsible for ensuring your use complies with applicable laws, Siemens website terms of use, and your organization's policies.

No warranty is given as to accuracy, completeness, or continued availability of third-party data. Use at your own risk.

Bulk-check Siemens product lifecycle status and official successor part numbers from SiePortal — without scraping full specifications, documents, or related accessories. Designed for BOM audits, spare-parts planning, and obsolescence migration projects where you need fast answers for hundreds or thousands of MPNs.

This Actor uses the same Akamai bypass stack as the SiePortal Scraper, but loads only the lifecycle section of each product page, making bulk runs significantly faster and lower cost.

When to use this Actor

Use the Lifecycle Tracker when you have a large MPN list and need lifecycle phase, discontinuation status, and official successor part numbers — without full PDP data.

For complete specifications, document links, and related products, use the SiePortal Scraper on a filtered subset only (e.g. discontinued parts with successors).

Key Features

• Fast lifecycle checks — Opens the #specifications anchor instead of scrolling the full PDP.
• Official successor detection — Extracts recommended replacement MPNs from Siemens lifecycle notices.
• Normalized lifecycle phases — Maps raw SiePortal statuses to stable lifecyclePhase values.
• Smart MPN resolution — Accepts part numbers in any format; falls back to SiePortal search when direct PDP access fails.
• Parallel processing — Configurable concurrency for high-volume BOM lists.
• Akamai WAF bypass — Stealth browser fingerprinting with optional Apify residential proxies.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
searchTerms	Required. Siemens part numbers to check. One per line.	—
locale	SiePortal locale path (e.g. en-us, de-de).	en-nl
maxConcurrency	Parallel browser tabs (1–8).	3
proxyConfiguration	Proxy settings. Apify rotating residential proxies recommended.	—

Input Example

{
  "searchTerms": [
    "6GK7343-1EX11-0XE0",
    "6ES7193-6BP00-0DA0",
    "6ES7315-2AH14-0AB0"
  ],
  "locale": "en-nl",
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Output Format

{
  "searchTerm": "6GK7343-1EX11-0XE0",
  "partNumber": "6GK7343-1EX11-0XE0",
  "lifecycleStatus": "End Prod.Lifecycl.",

    {
      "partNumber": "6GK7343-1EX30-0XE0",
      "description": "6GK7343-1EX30-0XE0",
      "url": "https://sieportal.siemens.com/en-nl/products-services/detail/6GK7343-1EX30-0XE0",
      "section": "lifecycle_notice"
    }
  ],

  "checkedAt": "2026-06-18T12:00:00+00:00"
}

Lifecycle phase values

lifecyclePhase	Typical SiePortal status
active	Active Product
phase_out	Phase-out started
product_cancellation	Prod. Cancellation
end_of_lifecycle	End Prod.Lifecycl.
discontinued	Discontinued
unknown	Status not found

Typical Workflow

1. Prepare your MPN list

Paste part numbers from a BOM export, spare-parts inventory, or ERP extract into searchTerms.

2. Run a bulk lifecycle check

Set maxConcurrency to 3–5 for large lists (500+ MPNs). Filter on isDiscontinued, hasSuccessor, or lifecyclePhase.

3. Drill down only where needed

For discontinued parts with successors, feed successors[].partNumber values into the SiePortal Scraper or the Document Downloader.

BOM (1,200 MPNs)
        │
        ▼
Lifecycle Tracker  →  87 discontinued, 34 with successors
        │
        ▼
SiePortal Scraper (34 successor MPNs only)  →  full specs for migration

Actor Comparison

Filter on	Use case
isDiscontinued: true	Flag obsolete parts before supply risk
hasSuccessor: true	Find official replacement MPNs for migration
lifecyclePhase: phase_out	Prioritize last-time-buy decisions

Task	Lifecycle Tracker	SiePortal Scraper
Bulk lifecycle screening	Yes	Partial
Official successor MPN	Yes	Partial
Full specs, EAN, documents	No	Yes
Cost per 1,000 MPNs	Lower	Higher
