• Smart Infrastructure completes acquisition of Brightly, a leader in cloud-based asset and maintenance management software
• Acquisition puts Siemens in pole position to address fast-growing software market for buildings and built infrastructure

Siemens Smart Infrastructure (SI), the frontrunner in digital buildings, has completed the acquisition of Brightly Software, a leading U.S.-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider of asset and maintenance management solutions. The acquisition elevates SI to a leading position in the software market for buildings and built infrastructure. It adds Brightly’s well-established cloud-based capabilities across key sectors – education, public infrastructure, healthcare, and manufacturing – to Siemens’ digital and software know-how in buildings. Brightly’s addition to the Siemens portfolio accelerates the build-up of SI’s SaaS business, enabling the companies to deliver superior performance and sustainability for built infrastructure. 

• Long-term accommodations for 160 people at Siemens headquarters in Warsaw
• First Ukrainian refugees have already moved in
• Siemens Caring Hands e.V. as a strong partner in fight against global

On the grounds of its company headquarters in Warsaw, Poland, Siemens has opened a center for refugees from Ukraine. To make this step possible, the company has been renovating and remodeling large parts of the building since early March 2022. A variety of accommodations – ranging from rooms for families and for childcare all the way to sanitary facilities – have been set up on about 2,600 square meters of floor space. These accommodations have been designed to be suitable for long-term residence. Siemens Caring Hands e.V. used donations primarily made by Siemens employees to finance the remodeling work. Since July 12, Siemens has been making these facilities available free of charge to Warsaw’s municipal authorities, who are taking care of operating the center. The first group of Ukrainian refugees has already moved in.

• RDG200 thermostat now equipped with a built-in CO2 sensor for monitoring and controlling indoor air quality
• Helps provide a healthy indoor climate and a safe place to work
• Achieves high energy efficiency and reduced energy costs

Siemens Smart Infrastructure’s RDG200 thermostat series now offers a model that is natively equipped with a CO2 sensor and control functions. They allow the indoor air quality to be monitored and adjusted to ensure a healthy and productive indoor air climate at all times for people in the building, while maintaining efficient operation. When the air quality deteriorates because the CO2 concentration rises, the ventilation system is automatically adjusted and ensures that the right amount of fresh air is provided to the space.

• California-based Esri, pioneer in geographic information system software
• Geodata combined with Siemens´ modeling and simulation software boosts creation of holistic digital twin of the grid for planning, simulation and real-time operations to accelerate the energy transition
• Complementary product partners are part of the Siemens Xcelerator ever-growing ecosystem of partners to accelerate digital transformation

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has partnered with Esri, the global leader in geographic information systems (GIS) and location intelligence, to expand its ecosystem of partners for its grid software business. The partnership enhances capabilities for the planning, operations and maintenance of power networks at grid operators by combining Esri’s powerful mapping and spatial analytics software and Siemens’ electrical topology expertise. In doing so, the companies aim to upgrade the data flow between applications for increased planning accuracy and for better operations of the distribution grid. The partnership´s objective is to improve the admission of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) to the grid so that net zero can be achieved faster.

• New innovation hub for research at Siemens in Garching, Germany
• Joint research facility with Technical University of Munich in Garching’s “Isar Valley”
• Modern and open work environments in a digitally planned, sustainable building

Just nine months after construction began, a topping-out ceremony is being celebrated for the new Siemens Technology Center at the research campus in the university town of Garching, Germany, near Munich. As a result, this new building – which was planned digitally and is being built to meet stringent sustainability requirements – has thus now reached an important milestone on the journey to  Siemens’ future research activities in the Munich area. With its modern work environments, this facility will serve as an innovation hub that provides space for inspiration and new ideas. At this center, more than 450 researchers from Siemens’ “Technology” unit will collaborate on technologies of the future with around 150 employees and students from the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

• Frame sizes 1,200 A, 1,600 A and 2,000 A
• Enhanced safety features
• Fully integrated communication and measurement features
• Smart features for planning and operation

Siemens has developed new, highly flexible molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) frame sizes for high current applications to perfectly address the needs of switchgear manufacturers and panel builders in an environment, characterized by increasing complexity, digitalization, and cost pressures. The new 3VA UL Large Frame MCCBs enable users to implement powerful, safe, and smart systems while allowing them to improve and greatly simplify their work processes. These 3VA UL Large Frame MCCBs can be used worldwide. The 1,200 A and 1,600 A frame sizes meet the requirements of IEC and UL standards. This is particularly advantageous for manufacturers who are producing systems destined for global markets. The new 2,000 A frame is designed exclusively for the UL market. The new frame sizes will be available in both thermal-magnetic and electronic trip unit versions. Molded case switch (MCS) variants will also be offered.
