Siemens Xcelerator speeds up digital transformation and enables new offerings
Siemens will showcase from its open digital business platform Siemens Xcelerator at Hannover Messe.
Siemens’ activities
at the tradeshow will be accompanied by a live stage program featuring members
of the Siemens AG Managing Board along with experts, partners and customers.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz plans to visit the tradeshow’s biggest booth.
“At Hannover
Messe, we will be showing how Siemens combines the real and digital worlds and
thus helps its customers to become more competitive, more resilient and more
sustainable,” said Roland Busch, President and CEO of Siemens AG. “The next
step in the digital transformation is the industrial metaverse: a model of the
real word – and of all its physical characteristics – that is always online.
People can collaborate in real time to continuously optimize the virtual world.
In this way, we make the real world better, more efficient and, in particular,
more resource-efficient.”
Siemens Xcelerator – Open, digital business platform is developing continuously
Siemens’ presence
at Hannover Messe will focus on innovations and new offerings for all aspects
related to the Siemens Xcelerator digital business platform. This platform,
which launched in June 2022, has grown and developed continuously ever since.
At its core is a curated portfolio of Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled hardware
and software. Together with a powerful partner ecosystem and a marketplace,
Siemens Xcelerator supports companies in their digital transformation. Now,
significant updates and additions are being presented at Hannover Messe.
Industrial Operations X: IT and software capabilities for automation
With
Industrial Operations X, Siemens is setting a new benchmark with a broad range
of products and services for industry. These offerings combine operational
technology (OT) with integrated information technology (IT). Industry-leading
IT technologies are brought to the shopfloor with a new level of modularity:
low code, edge, cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) combined with
industry-leading automation technology and digital services. This open and
interoperable portfolio will further accelerate today’s production processes,
which are already well automated. The result will be a more adaptive form of
manufacturing that is also more autonomous and, at the same time, people
centric.
“The whole
world loves IT, but the world runs on automation that uses operating
technology, or OT,” said Cedrik Neike, member of the Managing Board of Siemens
AG and CEO of Digital Industries. “By combining the real and digital worlds
like no other company, we make our customers faster, more adaptable and more
ecofriendly.”
Building X: Becoming industry’s most open digital platform for buildings
Siemens
will also present Building X and its cloud-native applications: Energy Manager,
Security Manager and Operations Manager. These applications have been
designed to support high-performance, safe and sustainable buildings in various
environments, including production and manufacturing sites and commercial
buildings. Building X is built on Siemens Xcelerator design principles as a
modular, fully cloud-based, open smart-building platform. It features artificial-intelligence-enabled
applications, strong connectivity and built-in cybersecurity.
Customers can use Building X as a software-as-a-service (SaaS)
application, on a subscription basis, or opt for an end-to-end offering of building services. With Building X, Siemens aims to create the industry’s most
open digital platform for buildings – a platform that enables customers to
benefit from enhanced built environments and services in order to make intelligent decisions about
their buildings, assets and workforce.
“The digitalization of buildings, grids and electrification
infrastructure is key to driving a smarter, more efficient and decarbonized
industrial sector,” said Matthias Rebellius, member of the Managing Board of
Siemens AG and CEO of Smart Infrastructure. “At Hannover Messe, we are
demonstrating how the combination of software from our Siemens Xcelerator
portfolio and hardware enables our customers to improve the performance of
commercial buildings and industrial facilities, lower costs and reduce
environmental impact to futureproof their businesses.”
Siemens will also reveal its newest switchgear innovation for primary
distribution networks using industry-leading vacuum-interrupter technology and Clean
Air as an insulating medium with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 1.
As a result, this solution is climate friendly and completely free of
fluorinated gases. For key functionalities, this switchgear has integrated
sensors that can be connected to software from the Siemens Xcelerator
portfolio.
This year’s
Partner Country for Hannover Messe is Indonesia. As the economically strongest
country in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has been an important market for Siemens
for more than 165 years. In the Partner Country’s Pavilion in Hall 2, Siemens
will be showing exhibits this year from the areas of industry, infrastructure,
transportation and energy.
