Siemens is
turning the SPS Trade Fair 2021 virtual, and you are cordially invited to
participate in our program. The industrial world is facing urgent challenges
that it must overcome quickly and sustainably. Under the motto "Infinite
opportunities from infinite data", Siemens will be showcasing solutions from
its Digital Enterprise portfolio that enable companies to consistently
digitalize, automate and make intensive use of the resulting data.
Enter the Siemens virtual trade fair experience and discover all highlights in a virtual 3D showroom, auditorium event program and Tech Meetups.

- SiGreen enables the reliable tracking of a product carbon footprint
across the supply chain
- The distributed and open Estanium network makes it possible to combine emission data into a true ecological footprint
- Companies are using data to better deploy their resources and pave the way towards an eco-friendly and sustainable economy
In light of the fact that the supply chain accounts for the largest share of the ecological footprint of products, the decarbonization of industry is a challenge which must be tackled by all the stakeholders together. As a leading provider of automation technology and industry software, Siemens has for the first time launched a solution for the efficient query, calculation and transfer of information on the actual Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). SiGreen now makes it possible to exchange emission data along the supply chain and combine it with data from a company’s own value creation in order to obtain a product’s true carbon footprint. To achieve this, Siemens has initiated the open, cross-industry Estainium network with the aim of enabling manufacturers, suppliers, customers and partners to exchange trustworthy PCF data. With SiGreen supporting companies in tracking their Product Carbon Footprint, they can take targeted reduction measures providing a quantifiable effect. CO2 management thus supports companies on their way towards carbon neutral production and helps them to transform sustainability into a decisive competitive edge.
- Storage enabled intelligent microgrid concept to accelerate decarbonization and significantly increase renewables share
- Energy storage system enables greater energy independence
- Frequency regulation increases Madeira’s grid resilience
- Plant to provide blackstart capability to the 60 kV level
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure, in partnership with Fluence, are working to help the Portuguese
island of Madeira gain greater energy independence and grid resilience using
renewable energy. Madeira’s energy provider, Empresa de Electricidade da
Madeira (EEM), awarded a Siemens and Fluence consortium a contract to install a
22,5 MVA / 15,6 MVh battery storage plant which will be integrated into an
islanded microgrid concept.
The project will enable
EEM to optimize its renewable energy integration, significantly contributing to
increasing the share of renewable power to around 50 percent in its energy mix.
As a result, the island can reduce its fuel consumption over the next two to
three years, while gaining
greater energy independence without
affecting energy quality or grid stability.

State-of-the-art train interiors
DB Regio Bayern and train manufacturer Siemens
Mobility will put a total of 57 new trains in service in Bavaria beginning in
December 2023. Twenty-six Desiro HC trains are currently being built for the
Franconia-South Thuringia network, along with 25 Desiro HC double-decker trains
and six Mireo trains for the Danube-Isar network. The 18 Desiro HC trains will
operate in the Franconia-South Thuringia network as four-car units beginning in
December 2023 and eight Desiro HC trains as six-car units in June 2024. They
travel almost as fast as the ICE, for example between Coburg and Erfurt at 190
kmh. In the Danube-Isar network, the 31 new trains will inaugurate service in
December 2024.

published.
- End-to-end automation and digitalization of all process steps enables the industrialization of additive manufacturing
- Simulation and digital twins help to test and implement profitability and scalability
- Individual financing models lower investment hurdle and time-to-market
- Carbon footprint to be reduced by up to 58 percent with additively manufactured eyewear
Siemens enables the
start-up You Mawo in offering bespoke eyeglass frames in such a way that they
are accessible, affordable, and sustainable for a broad market and You Mawo can
have them produced in an economically cost-effective and responsible way. The
customization process considers parameters such as design, a perfect fit for
the person wearing the glasses, and color.
- Report shows adaptability, sustainability and
addressing climate change are top-of-mind for infrastructure leaders
- Majority of energy infrastructure
stakeholders say net zero energy is impossible without digitalization
- Research reveals infrastructure is lagging
behind other industries in digitalization progress
A new research report released by Siemens Smart
Infrastructure, titled ‘A New Space Race,’ has highlighted the increasingly
urgent need to transform global infrastructure to focus on adaptability,
resiliency and decarbonization. Data from the report shows infrastructure
leaders worldwide recognize the need for digitalization to tackle challenges in
energy systems and the built environment.
-
Climate-friendly
contract conditions are met: Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn (NEB) orders 31 battery-operated
trains from Siemens Mobility
-
The
environmentally friendly Mireo Plus B trains will run on all lines of the East
Brandenburg rail network
-
With
the launch of service in December 2024, battery-electric trains will be used
for the first time in the VBB network in Berlin and Brandenburg
The
Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan area will get the first battery-electric,
emission-free regional trains in late 2024 along with an improved and expanded timetable.
To provide this service, Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn (NEB), which again won the
contract for the network early in June, has ordered 31 two-car,
battery-operated Mireo Plus B trains from Siemens Mobility. The federal states
of Berlin and Brandenburg are responsible for planning and financing regional
rail passenger service in the VBB region.
- ‘The power
reset’ now available on Amazon Prime Video in 3 countries
- Documentary narrates the story of Wunsiedel in Germany and the
positive impact of its energy transition on residents and the environment
‘The power reset: A town creating the
energy blueprint for the world’, a new documentary
film produced by Siemens, has just launched on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S.,
U.K. and Germany. The film narrates the story of Wunsiedel, a small town in the
