- Upgrades to help improve infrastructure, support operational excellence and enhance student living-learning experience
As part of its 10-year strategic plan, ‘Transformation Morgan
2030: Leading the Future,’ Baltimore-based Morgan State University (MSU) has
partnered with Siemens on its journey to becoming a smart and connected campus
of the future. Improvements currently underway include implementing a series of
modernization upgrades to the university’s heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC), security, and fire and life safety systems with a focus on
energy efficiency, resiliency and sustainability. All work is umbrellaed under
a master service agreement between Maryland Clean Energy Center, Siemens and
MSU to support the university’s campus transformation.
The University of
Birmingham, in partnership with Siemens, is combining digital sensor and
analytics technologies, artificial intelligence, decentralized energy
generation and storage, renewable energy and concepts that help change users’
behaviour to transform the university’s Edgbaston and Dubai campuses into the
world’s smartest global campus, creating a ‘Living Lab’ where research,
teaching and learning all benefit from access to new data and
connectivity.

- Hub simulates digital twin of Australia’s energy grid, enabling future energy
scenarios mapping
Siemens and Swinburne University of Technology have launched the most advanced future Energy Transition Hub of its kind in Australia at the University’s Hawthorn campus in Melbourne.
- The University of East London (UEL) has reduced its carbon emissions by 10 percent in phase one of its new net zero strategy
- UEL partnered with Siemens to develop and deliver the strategy, designed to improve energy efficiency and renewable integration
- Siemens and UEL to co-create a ‘Living Lab’ to help embed sustainability into course curriculums
The University of East London (UEL) has reduced its carbon emissions by 10 percent from its 2020/21 baseline to 2022/23 in the first phase of its new net zero strategy, putting the organisation on track to achieve its 2030 net-zero target.
- Siemens Swinburne Energy Transition Hub aims to create the most advanced future energy grid laboratory of its kind in Australia accessible to students and industry
- 5.2 million AUD (3.4 million EUR) to be invested into Hub, set to open in late 2023
- Hub to leverage digital twin of Australia’s energy grid with Siemens software such as PSS E, PSS Sincal, Spectrum Power and Deop X
- Joint project between industry and research to accelerate path to net zero
Siemens
and Swinburne University of Technology have agreed to set up the most advanced
future Energy Transition Hub of its kind in Australia in at the University’s Hawthorn campus
in Melbourne. Featuring
some of the most advanced digital energy technology from Siemens and the
technical, R&D and teaching expertise of Swinburne, the $5.2 million Hub
aims to build a future energy grid laboratory accessible to students and
industry. When fully operational, the Hub will also offer researchers and
industry the opportunity to work on solutions for greener, more efficient
future energy systems using Siemens Xcelerator, a new open digital business
platform and marketplace.
- Infrastructure for private industrial 5G networks with a focus on automation applications
- The solution is already in use at Siemens plants and pilot customers like Salzgitter AG
- 5G is crucial for mobile robots, autonomous logistics, driverless transport systems, and edge devices
For the first time, the technology company Siemens is launching a private infrastructure developed in-house for the 5G mobile communications standard. The solution enables industrial companies to build their own local 5G networks that will provide optimal support for automation applications. "By building their own 5G networks, industrial companies are launching the next stage of connected production," says Axel Lorenz, CEO of Process Automation at Siemens. "5G is crucial for applications like mobile robots, autonomous logistics, and driverless transport systems in factories. Siemens' private 5G infrastructure also gives users sole control over the data in their 5G network at all times, and they can custom-configure the network for their applications."
- ETH Zurich runs unique research project on automation and energy supply for buildings in different climate zones
- Project includes one-of-a-kind artificial sun
- Siemens supplies digital building technologies, part of Siemens Xcelerator, for lab
ETH Zurich,
one of the world’s most renowned universities, has just opened a unique
research facility: the Zero Carbon Building Systems (ZCBS) Lab. It allows research
into the behavior of building components and systems in different climate
zones. The new building, located on the university campus in Zurich, comprises
two floors with different test cells, climate chambers, and experimentation
rooms. As part of its existing industrial partnership with ETH Zurich, Siemens
has equipped the new research facility with state-of-the-art digital building technologies,
including for building operations and management. The technologies are part of
the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.
