- Direct integration into Building Operator for control, alarming and energy reporting
- Expanded product range now available as 3-port valve
- New features such as Delta-T limitation control, make it possible to optimize plants with chillers and reduce consumption
The self-optimizing and dynamic Intelligent Valve from Siemens Smart Infrastructure has become more versatile, thanks to new features and applications for heating groups and air handling units. The device controls the flow, measures temperature and output and automatically adjusts the valve settings to the heat exchanger. The Intelligent Valve is connected to the cloud and now, for the first time, directly integrated into Building Operator, the Siemens cloud application for the remote monitoring of buildings. This makes it possible to control the Intelligent Valve and adjust its settings anytime and anywhere. For increased flexibility, the product range has been expanded to include 3-port valves, which allow variable-temperature and constant-flow control of the water supply (mixed circuits). New features such as Delta-T (DT) limitation control, differential pressure and flow temperature control ensure smooth and energy-efficient HVAC plant operation and enable the Intelligent Valve to be used in even more applications.
- Joint training against cyberattacks key in protecting digital grids
- Valuable insights on attacks and vulnerabilities enable innovative solutions and safer products
Siemens Smart Infrastructure and the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to continue the cooperation on cybersecurity for critical infrastructure. The CCDCOE organized annual high-level cyber defence exercise Locked Shields exercise provides a key pillar to jointly build up defence capabilities. With the new agreement, the parties advance their existing cooperation on cyber security training for power grids. In experimenting with grid control software Spectrum Power, Siemens gains valuable insights on the potential attack vectors and can thoroughly test new security features or protocols for its products and solutions.
- Global partnership to being extended for another three years
- Cooperation involves FC Bayern’s soccer and basketball sections
- Strong focus on sustainability and digital solutions in infrastructure
After three
successful seasons, Siemens and FC Bayern Munich have extended their collaboration
for three more years. The global technology powerhouse and the sport club with
the most championship titles in German soccer are lengthening their “Performance
Partnership” until the end of the 2022/23 season. The focus will remain on
future-oriented solutions and innovative technologies as well as on infrastructure-related
digital products and solutions.
- Siemens Energy launches "Future of Storage" initiative to
promote sustainable energy systems
- Ecosystem of technology partners for energy storage solutions
created
- Long-term cooperation with Norwegian EnergyNest on thermal energy
storage
Siemens Energy has launched the "Future
of Storage" initiative. The aim of the initiative is to bundle knowledge
and build an ecosystem of technology partners in order to offer energy storage
solutions tailored to customers' needs. Decarbonizing the world's energy
systems is one of the key goals of Siemens Energy. An essential component of
climate-friendly energy systems of the future will be efficient energy storage
systems - they compensate for the fluctuating feed-in of renewable energies and
stabilize the grids, making them a key driver of decarbonization.
- System based on Siemens Spectrum Power supports second-by-second control of all assets and integration of RWE wind and solar farms
- Improved combination of electricity generation from renewables and conventional fuel is a major milestone for the energy transition
RWE is making its power station control system fit for the future by adopting a new technology. Optime, a new SCADA system based on Siemens Spectrum Power, gives RWE a uniform control technology. SCADA stands for 'Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition' – in other words monitoring and managing technical processes using a computer system. Previously, there were two separate systems: one for power plants in Germany and another for the Netherlands and Belgium. The new solution combines the two, while integrating RWE’s renewable energy assets in Europe. It can also accommodate additional units such as battery storage systems and diesel-powered backup generators.
- Acquisition expands Xcelerator portfolio and creates data-driven product lifecycle management solutions for system-on-chip (SoC)
- Integration of cybersecurity, functional safety, and the management of complexity can enhance product quality, safety, and time-to-revenue across industries ranging from automotive and factory automation to high-performance computing
Siemens has signed an agreement to acquire Cambridge,
UK-based UltraSoC Technologies Ltd., a provider of instrumentation and
analytics solutions that put intelligent monitoring, cybersecurity and
functional safety capabilities into the core hardware of system-on-chip (SoC).
Siemens plans to integrate UltraSoC’s technology into the Xcelerator portfolio as part
of Mentor’s Tessent™ software product suite. The addition of UltraSoC to Siemens enables a
unified data-driven infrastructure that can enhance product quality, safety and
cybersecurity, and the creation of a comprehensive solution to help semiconductor
industry customers overcome key pain points including manufacturing defects, software and hardware
bugs, device early-failure and wear-out, functional safety, and malicious
attacks.
- Collaboration will support businesses’ safe return to work and build smart, connected workplaces for the future
- Joint solutions, built on technology from Siemens and Salesforce, include a ‘touchless office’ and advanced contact tracing
Today, Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) and Siemens announced a strategic partnership to develop a new workplace technology suite that will support businesses globally to safely reopen and deliver the future experience for physical workplaces. The partnership will combine Salesforce’s Work.com, powered by Customer 360, and Siemens’ Smart Infrastructure solutions, including Comfy and Enlighted, to orchestrate the processes, people and things that are essential to creating safe, connected workplaces for the future.
