- Siemens invests 30 million euros in its switchgear plant in Frankfurt-Fechenheim
- Construction of intelligent high-speed warehouse, expansion of the production area and investments in machines and production lines
- Expansion of the fluorine gas-free, gas-insulated product portfolio
- 200 new jobs and additional investment in employee training program
Siemens is
investing 30 million euros to expand its switchgear plant in Frankfurt-Fechenheim.
A smart, fully automated high-speed warehouse and a 1,200 square-meter
extension to an existing hall are being built on the 160,000 square-meter site.
For years, the plant has been experiencing steady growth in incoming orders and
is working at its capacity limit. The additional
production area will support a third assembly line for switchgear, boosting the
site and creating new jobs in the region. Sustainability is an essential
consideration: The plant is expanding its production of environmentally
friendly medium-voltage switchgear, and the two new buildings will have roofs
with photovoltaic systems. At today’s groundbreaking ceremony, Martin Betzmann,
Site Manager of the Frankfurt-Fechenheim switchgear plant, Stephanie Wüst,
member of the city council and Head of Economic Affairs of the city of
Frankfurt am Main, Stephan May, CEO of Electrification & Automation at
Siemens AG, and Steffen Rümmler, Head of the German Business at Siemens Real
Estate, symbolically opened the construction site.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched
its new selector application for protection devices as part of the service
portfolio for energy automation and protection. The Easy Relay Retrofit
Selector Application makes it easy for users to select a protection legacy
device or 3rd. party equipment for a new device or retrofit service. The app supports
all verticals in which protection devices are installed. The simple operation
does not require any expert knowledge on protection technology.
At "SPS – Smart Production Solutions" 2019, Siemens will present sector-specific applications and future technologies for the digital transformation of the discrete and process industries. At the heart of the 4000 square meter booth will be new products, solutions and services from the Digital Enterprise portfolio, which can be used to merge the real and virtual world. On November 26, the first day of SPS, Klaus Helmrich spoke at the Siemens press conference, which took place in the trade show Convention Center. Mr Helmrich discussed the latest trends in digitalization and the next stage of digital transformation in the discrete and process industries.

- Easy and fast engineering with Desigo Engineering Framework
- Open by design for integration of different protocols and devices with no need for additional hardware or software
- Offers wireless access to controllers, remote cloud connection
- Secure connectivity and encrypted communication
Siemens Smart Infrastructure launched its new building automation controllers Desigo PXC4 and PXC5 to transform buildings into high-performing, energy efficient assets. The new generation of Desigo building automation controllers offers a wide range of benefits for automating small and medium-sized buildings to get the most flexible and scalable building automation. Thanks to the new, licence-free Desigo Engineering Framework, devices can now be seamlessly integrated in the same framework for intuitive engineering. Features such as open by design for successful integration of different protocols and easy wireless access facilitate building automation. Both controllers were designed to expand and strengthen the Desigo portfolio and focus on one specific automation element - the Desigo PXC4 for HVAC plants and Desigo PXC5 for system functions and integration.
- Process bus significantly increases level of digitalization in substations
- Faster installation and commissioning
- Improved system reliability
- Benchmark for future-proof design
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has installed process bus technology at the new high-voltage substation in Los Sauces for one of the largest Peruvian distribution network operators, Luz del Sur. This process bus installation with Siprotec merging units and Siprotec protection devices is one of the first fully digitized energy automation system in operation. The new technology sets benchmarks with its future-proof design and will help optimize the entire operation of the power grid.
- Siemens launches study of 1,400 executives globally revealing regional, city and industry insights regarding the infrastructure transition across energy systems, mobility and buildings
- Decarbonization is a top priority within the infrastructure transition, but progress is too slow
- Over 50% of executives believe decarbonization is a competitive advantage, but less than half believe their country has an effective decarbonization strategy
- Technology and digitalization key levers of a successful infrastructure transition
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has released key insights into the divisive nature of the infrastructure transition in a new report, titled “Siemens Infrastructure Transition Monitor 2023: The Great Divide on The Path to Net Zero.” Data from the report reveals that there is limited alignment on priorities and how best to progress towards a decarbonized and resource-efficient world. Whilst more than half of people surveyed believe the infrastructure transition is accelerating in their region, a quarter of participants - senior executives from seven major industry groups - said that progress is “too slow”, while 29 percent believe progress is “coordinated”, and 31 percent describe it as “on target”.
