to the IoT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC) in Barcelona: helping businesses to
simplify and accelerate their digital transformation and transition to greater
sustainability at scale, the focused technology company will show a total 27
practical reference cases. At the same time, the company is empowering its
customers to achieve their desired business outcomes – including sustainable growth,
increased efficiency and faster time-to-market by combining the real and the
digital worlds unlike any other. Visitors to the Siemens booth (D467, Hall 4,

Connected and self-driving vehicles are on the horizon. Autonomous taxis and minibuses could cover the last mile between homes and public mass transit and long-distance transport hubs, helping make private cars superfluous in cities and relieving congestion. In rail transport as well, fully automated systems and connectivity can help satisfy the rapidly growing demand for mobility. Making vehicles and infrastructure more intelligent can ensure better availability and make mobility safer. All this adds up to vastly improved urban environments.Siemens is working with municipalities, public transit authorities and research institutes to develop these transport concepts.
