- Morocco’s
National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) launches an ambitious
transformation project in collaboration with Atos and Siemens
Atos, Siemens and Morocco’s National
Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (Office National de l'Électricité et
de l'Eau potable, ONEE) are pleased to announce their collaboration on a large
project for the smart management of the local power grid (“smart grid”). Atos
and Siemens are working on deploying a smart energy metering platform that will
allow ONEE to efficiently process the data collected by more than 100,000 smart
meters that will be installed across the country, thus optimizing energy
consumption and management of the national grid while meeting Morocco's growing
energy needs.
Siemens joined Gastech 2018, which took place in Barcelona, Sept. 17 – 20. In its 45th year, the world renowned event was a highly regarded gathering for upstream, midstream and downstream gas and LNG professionals. Siemens used the occasion to highlight its integrated Gas-to-Power (G2P) solutions, through which the company is playing an integral role in increasing utilization of natural gas—a highly abundant, cost-effective fuel—as a feed stock for power plants. Sessions featured Siemens speakers which are outlined below.
The University of
Birmingham, in partnership with Siemens, is combining digital sensor and
analytics technologies, artificial intelligence, decentralized energy
generation and storage, renewable energy and concepts that help change users’
behaviour to transform the university’s Edgbaston and Dubai campuses into the
world’s smartest global campus, creating a ‘Living Lab’ where research,
teaching and learning all benefit from access to new data and
connectivity.
At this year’s
Light+Building trade fair, Siemens will showcase its vision for transforming today’s
passive buildings into learning and adaptive environments that intelligently interact
with people. The company’s focus at this year’s show is “Building the future
today”, outlining the innovations that will make this possible. These include cloud-based
technologies, digital planning, occupant-centric building automation and services.
New solutions for smart electrical infrastructure that seamlessly connects to the
Internet of Things (IoT) are also at the core of this transformation.
- Global campus in Zug to reduce carbon footprint
- Target in line with company-wide sustainability program
Siemens Smart Infrastructure plans to transform its global headquarters in Zug, Switzerland, into a carbon neutral location by 2023. To achieve this, a comprehensive renovation of an existing building on Theilerstrasse 1c will commence in May 2021 for a period of two years. Siemens has earmarked around EUR 63 million (CHF 70 million) for the refurbishment works.
- Real-time analytics to create dynamic workplaces
- Designed to improve employee productivity and operational efficiency
- Data-driven insights on space utilization to optimize real estate assets
- To be shown at Light & Building trade fair in Germany, Frankfurt a.M. (March 8-13, 2020)
Siemens Smart Infrastructure
has launched a smart building suite designed to create more efficient and
flexible workplaces where people are at the core. The suite of IoT (Internet of
Things) enabled devices, applications and services turn offices into a
competitive advantage for companies. Employees are empowered with greater
choice and control in the workplace, including picking their own optimal
temperature setting, pleasant lighting conditions and find available rooms for
their spontaneous meetings. The suite consists of complementary Siemens
technologies and allows building management systems to respond intelligently to
user input and environmental data. Now, workspaces can adapt to employees’
needs with real-time analytics continuously learning from user input and
picking up behavioral patterns.
At the
same time, powerful data analytics give insights into how the spaces are being
used to make better decisions around space optimization and real estate portfolio management.
- Environmentally-friendly
and sustainable portfolio
- New Siemens ADVtechnology ensures more efficient design process with
multi-use components
- Support throughout the entire fire safety system lifecycle thanks to
extensive Siemens expertise and access to digital tools
Siemens Smart Infrastructure introduces its
new natural agent extinguishing portfolio, Sinorix NXN. Focusing on the
protection of lives, assets and business continuity, the new fire extinguishing
portfolio combines simplicity with advanced technology to modernize traditional
fire safety. The agents consist of the natural gases argon, nitrogen and carbon
dioxide. They are ideal for specific application areas such as storage rooms
for chemicals (argon), critical electrical infrastructure (nitrogen) or
unmanned areas (carbon dioxide). The new Sinorix NXN portfolio uses only agents
and compounds that are naturally found in our atmosphere and do not harm the environment. It also has a reduced
ecological footprint, thanks to its compact and versatile product design.
- Siemens supports major energy-efficiency project at Coca-Cola
- 13% reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
- Better air quality and decreased noise as additional benefits
The Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) production facility in Jordbro south of Stockholm has reached a new milestone. In less than a year, the 70,000 m² plant has slashed its energy use by 13 percent, thanks to a major energy efficiency project executed with Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
- Enlighted Safe app helps track and trace employees who may have come in contact with an infected individual
- Allows organizations to potentially reduce the risk of virus transmission
- Provides insight into physical distancing events within the workplace
- Transparency into high-risk areas for better space management and planning
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched Enlighted Safe, a new workplace digital contact tracing app, which helps employees return safely to the workplace. Enlighted Safe provides greater transparency into the contact history of employees who are known to have tested positive for COVID-19. This is designed to support organizations in reducing the exposure of infection, keep healthy employees safe and productive, and eliminate the inefficient, expensive and error-prone manual contact tracing process for employers.
- From February 5-9, Siemens will present concrete solutions for ways that companies and investors can shape the digital future.
- Digitalization opens up huge potential for small and mid-sized companies in the manufacturing industry – with productivity gains of up to 10 percent.
- In the energy and infrastructure markets, efficiency gains are used to attain a large degree of sustainability.
- These efforts will require extensive investments, which are made easier with innovative financing solutions like pay-per-outcome financing, software financing and project financing.
During the opening session of Siemens Finance Week in the Siemens Technology and Application Center in Erlangen, about 60 decision-makers from small- and medium-sized enterprises learned about the potential of digitalization and ways that new, customer-centric business models can be introduced with the help of financing solutions. The Company Barometer prepared by the German Chambers of Commerce and Industry shows that 68 percent of small and medium-sized enterprises in Germany see opportunities for new digital business models. The optimization potential is enormous: In the manufacturing industry alone, according to the results of a Siemens Financial Services white paper, productivity can be boosted by up to 10 percent through continued digitalization. Figures from the United Nations Committee on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) indicate that this would amount to business volume of approx. €650 billion globally and €60 billion in Germany.
