- New DALI-2 certification for Siemens Desigo PXC3 and KNX gateway N 141 as well as switch/dim actuator N525D11
- Certification ensures interoperability in multi-vendor environments
- Lighting based on circadian rhythm helps improve health conditions in indoor environments
Siemens Smart Infrastructure’s building products KNX/DALI gateway
N 141 and the switch/dim actuator 2x DALI Broadcast N 525D11 as well as the Desigo
PXC3 controller were recently certified under the new DALI-2 communication
protocol standard for lighting in buildings. DALI-2 is an update to the original
“Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI)” protocol and facilitates
interoperability and control for LED drivers. The newly certified Siemens
products will help implement state-of-the-art human centric lighting (HCL) applications
also in multi-vendor environments in order to increase concentration,
productivity, and well-being indoors.
Moreover, such lighting applications seamlessly integrate
into holistic building automation systems provided by Siemens which combine heating,
ventilation, air conditioning, and shading. Customers can choose between
solutions based on either Desigo or KNX, according to their individual
installation requirements.
- EcoDomus software creates and visualizes BIM-based digital building twins
- Acquisition to enrich Siemens’ digital building software portfolio, addressing increasing customer requirements
- Customers benefit from optimized operations and easier maintenance of their buildings
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has signed an agreement
to acquire digital twin software for buildings from EcoDomus, a US-based
company. The move helps Siemens Smart Infrastructure expand its digital
building portfolio, including its cloud-based building operations twin software
and its flagship building management platform Desigo CC. The EcoDomus software creates,
maintains and visualizes Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based digital
building twins, making design and construction data available for building
operations and maintenance. Customers can generate digital replicas of their real
buildings and assets, creating a common data environment that integrates BIM, Building
Management Systems (BMS), Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)
and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The solution enables BIM-driven workflows
and digital twin-based lifecycle management, complemented by 3D visualization.
- An Avenio vehicle equipped with SiC technology spent one year transporting passengers in Munich and covered 65,000 kilometers in the process
- Energy use was cut by 10 percent and motor noise was reduced as well
- Joint research project conducted as part of the European development and research program PINTA
Siemens Mobility and Stadtwerke München (SWM) successfully completed a one-year test of semiconductor technology based on silicon carbide (SiC) in an Avenio streetcar in Munich in August. They have now presented the results of their research. The study found that the motor noise produced by the vehicle fell sharply and that energy use declined as well during the trips that the tram made on Munich’s public-transportation rail network. The semiconductor technology was produced by Infineon Technologies. The tests were conducted as part of the European research and development project PINTA. By taking part in the trial, Siemens Mobility significantly contributed to efforts to integrate SiC power semiconductors into rail vehicles.
At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board
of Siemens AG decided to renew the appointment of Managing Board member Ralf P.
Thomas (60). The term of the company’s chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG
will run until December 14, 2026.
- New DEGREE sustainability strategy anchored in Sustainability Report for
first time with 14 ambitious ESG targets
- Strong starting point for ecodesign
- Focus on target of 1.5
degrees Celsius:
approximately 40-percent CO2 reduction according to SBTi guidelines since
2019 base year
Siemens has achieved further progress toward meeting its sustainability
ambitions. At its Capital Market Day in June 2021, the company set itself
ambitious environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets with its new
strategic framework DEGREE. In its Sustainability Report for fiscal 2021, Siemens
has published information today on its progress toward achieving these targets.
- 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.
- Leading industrial and operational technology company joins forces

- Workflow improvements change how users work with the software
- Includes new features such as Event and Data Action Management
- Business monitoring made easier with improved data transparency
- Task time reduction by up to 85 percent
- Significant savings on repetitive tasks, roughly 166 person days annually
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has relaunched
its leading and proven smart meter data management software EnergyIP, focusing
on enhancing user experience. This stems from increasing requirements for better
data quality and further automation, leading to a focus on workflow
improvements and user-centricity. Now the software collates all relevant data on
one screen, making it easier to understand and identify correlations and root
causes through interactive visualizations and shortcuts. The latest EnergyIP Mosaic software is intuitive and efficient with noticeably fewer
clicks, which leads to task time reduction by up to 85
percent. Thanks to additional data transparency and improved anomaly detection,
users can make decisions with greater speed and confidence.
