into NXpower Monitor, its industry-leading digital caretaker for electrical
networks. Using ESA and machine learning, Samotics provides real-time
actionable insights to help global industrial companies eliminate industrial
energy waste and unplanned downtime. This new capability leverages the
ecosystem of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform that enables
customers to accelerate their digital transformation easier, faster, and at
scale.
- World premiere of “Industrial Operations X” for highly flexible industrial processes; plus new use cases with “Building X” – a scalable digital platform for buildings
- Offerings part of Siemens Xcelerator – an open, digital business platform
- German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to visit Siemens’ booth, D53 in Hall 9
Strained
supply chains, geopolitical uncertainties, skilled-labor shortages and climate
change are increasing the pressure to digitalize and automate value chains –
always with the aim of becoming faster, more adaptable and more resilient. For
this reason, Siemens will use “Accelerate Transformation” as its motto for
Hannover Messe 2023, where it will be showcasing how new offerings from its open,
digital business platform, Siemens Xcelerator, enable customers’ digital
transformation in industry and infrastructure faster and at scale. Using the
concrete example of an industrial plant for battery production, Siemens will
show how to rapidly transform production facilities to enable manufacturing
operations that are digital from end to end. In addition, the Siemens Digital
Experience Platform enables virtual visits to the Siemens booth – which, at a
total of 2,800 square meters, is Hannover Messe’s largest.
- 8DAB 40 switchgear expands the blue GIS portfolio for primary distribution networks enabling sustainable grid expansion ahead of regulations
- Utilizes climate friendly Clean Air insulating medium consisting of natural-origin gases with GWP <1, F-gas and PFAS free
- Software from Siemens Xcelerator platform and integrated sensors enable asset transparency and condition monitoring
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has cemented its position as a technology leader by expanding
its sustainable blue GIS portfolio with the 8DAB 40. This switchgear for
primary distribution networks up to 40,5 kV uses “Clean Air” as insulating
medium with GWP <1, making it climate friendly and completely free of
fluorinated gases. The 8DAB 40 is to be showcased at the upcoming
Hannover Messe, taking place from April 17th to 21st. Free tickets are available to be part of the Siemens
experience. Siemens Xcelerator is an
open digital business platform that enables customers to accelerate their
digital transformation easier, faster, and at scale.
- Launches SIBushing as smart and intelligent cable connection bushing, together with SICAM FCM plus short circuit and earth fault indicator
- Complements SIPROTEC 5 series with the 7SY82 universal protection device with Low Power Instrument Transformer (LPIT) inputs
- Designed with sustainability at their core, the portfolio additions offer an intelligent solution for switchgear of the future
Siemens Smart
Infrastructure has expanded its industry-leading medium voltage portfolio with
a sustainable and intelligent solution that paves the way for smart switchgear
of the future. Due to its conformity with the
instrument transformer standard IEC 61869, the SIBushing can be connected to the SICAM FCM plus (Feeder Condition
Monitor), a multi-functional, short-circuit and earth-fault indicator which
uses detection algorithms to indicate the direction of the cable fault. Applicable
for medium voltage distribution systems up to 36kV, the SICAM FCM plus with
SIBushing delivers unrivaled transparency and high-precision measurement of
distribution systems, resulting also in the consumption of significantly less
power, compared to conventional instrument transformer technologies.
- The project will enhance the University’s research capabilities to develop and use AI and robotics to inspect and maintain solar arrays
- The array is expected to be fully operational by July and will enable the University of York’s Institute for Safe Autonomy to become energy self-sufficient.

of York has appointed Siemens to design and deliver a solar array located at
the University’s new Institute for Safe Autonomy (ISA) as part of a £1.5
million research project. Funded through the UK Research Partnership
Investment Fund (UKRPIF), the project will enhance the Institute’s research
capabilities to develop and use AI and robotic systems to inspect and maintain
solar arrays.
In the
context of regular assessments at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023,
Siemens AG announces an impairment reversal of its investment in Siemens Energy
AG (SE) which will increase the investment book value. Siemens Energy AG's
Xetra closing share price of €20.24 on March 31, 2023, is significantly higher
than the closing share price of €13.99 on June 30, 2022, when Siemens reported
an impairment of the Siemens Energy AG investment. This results in an
impairment reversal, at the end of second quarter of fiscal 2023 ending today,
with a non-cash income effect after tax of €1.59 billion not part of the
outlook for the current fiscal year.
Financial results for the second quarter are scheduled to be published
on May 17, 2023.
