- Siemens launches study of 1,400 executives globally revealing regional, city and industry insights regarding the infrastructure transition across energy systems, mobility and buildings
- Decarbonization is a top priority within the infrastructure transition, but progress is too slow
- Over 50% of executives believe decarbonization is a competitive advantage, but less than half believe their country has an effective decarbonization strategy
- Technology and digitalization key levers of a successful infrastructure transition
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has released key insights into the divisive nature of the infrastructure transition in a new report, titled “Siemens Infrastructure Transition Monitor 2023: The Great Divide on The Path to Net Zero.” Data from the report reveals that there is limited alignment on priorities and how best to progress towards a decarbonized and resource-efficient world. Whilst more than half of people surveyed believe the infrastructure transition is accelerating in their region, a quarter of participants - senior executives from seven major industry groups - said that progress is “too slow”, while 29 percent believe progress is “coordinated”, and 31 percent describe it as “on target”.

- Monitoring of all 3-phase grids from 200 V to 690 V nominal voltage
- Frequency monitoring from 15-70 Hz for more detailed information
- IO-Link enables transmission and evaluation of measured values in the
controller or higher-level systems
- Certification according to SIL 1 (IEC 62061) and PL c (EN ISO 13849-1)
standards for a wide range of applications
Siemens has launched a new generation of line monitoring relays. The SIRIUS 3UG5 line monitoring relays combine proven technology with new functions and applications. The relays are the easiest way to monitor standards-compliant grid stability and quality, ensuring proper system operation and a long service life of components such as motors or compressors. Grid monitoring relays are used in critical areas such as hospitals or the process industry, which require a high-quality, fail-safe supply of power. Other areas of application include cranes, elevators, air, and air-conditioning compressors, as well as the timber industry.
- In a pilot project, Siemens is combining its Sigreen emissions management software with BayWa Carbon Connect, BayWa’s software for emissions offsetting
- The real carbon footprint of products is made transparent across the supply chain, from emission generation and reduction to offsetting
- In an initial use case, Siemens is offsetting the carbon emissions of selected products of the Simatic S7-1500 family at the Electronics Works Amberg for the duration of the project
The technology company Siemens and BayWa AG are working together to advance CO2-optimized industrial production. As part of a pilot project, the two companies are combining Sigreen, Siemens’ software for emissions management, with BayWa Carbon Connect, BayWa’s software for emissions offsetting.

Embedded in the Siemens Technology Center on the Erlangen campus, the Industrial Connectivity Lab offers 300 square meters of space for extensive testing of any connectivity solution in industrial environments: Industrial WLAN, 5G, real-time localization systems (RTLS), and radio frequency identification (RFID).
- Innovative Sentron 3WA circuit breaker series part of Siemens Xcelerator
- Designed to improve ease of use, reliability, and digitalization when integrating into existing systems
- Essential for critical infrastructure, such as hospitals or data centers
- 3WA1 (IEC), 3WA2 (UL489), and 3WA3 (UL1066+IEC) offer worldwide compatibility
Siemens has launched two new additional
versions of its innovative Sentron 3WA Power Circuit Breakers, alternatively
known as Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs). Series 3WA3 meets the requirements of UL
