- Adaptable modular solution to deal with short-term needs of hospitals, e.g. during epidemic or temporary construction works
- Ergonomic solution ensuring safety of patients and medical staff
- Compliant with healthcare facilities regulations
- Autonomous care units, fast to deploy, deliver high added value
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has teamed up with Toutenkamion Group to jointly develop an agile container system of highly innovative mobile intensive care units, designed to take pressure off hospital infrastructure. The solution was a response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which forced nursing staff, doctors and hospital managers to urgently come up with practical solutions to ensure adequate care was provided to extremely contagious patients, while maintaining other emergency and conventional care. One of the major challenges of the epidemic has been the need to equip and increase the number of resuscitation and intensive care beds.

and the Sitrans mobile IQ App.
- Calibrant Energy to bundle latest distributed energy technologies and financing expertise of global leaders Macquarie and Siemens
- The joint venture will create Energy-as-a-Service solutions from a full range of energy technologies for corporate and municipal clients
Macquarie’s Green Investment Group (GIG), Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Siemens Financial Services (SFS) today announced the formation of Calibrant Energy (Calibrant), a joint venture that offers comprehensive onsite Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) solutions at no up-front cost for its customers, which include corporate and industrial clients, as well as municipalities, universities, schools and hospitals.
- Flexible addition of features via software protects investments
- New protection technologies prevent failures with distributed power supply
- Seamless integration in digital environments
With the new 3WA series, Siemens Smart Infrastructure is updating its Sentron portfolio of air circuit breakers. As a core element of low-voltage switchboards, they reliably protect electrical installations in buildings, infrastructures and industrial facilities from damage caused by short circuits, ground faults or overload faults. At the same time, the new 3WA circuit breakers meet all low-voltage power distribution requirements in digital environments. They support software-based planning and engineering, digital testing and monitoring, and seamless integration in automation and IoT systems. For the first time, upgrades can be completed 100 percent digitally. Users simply download new features from the Internet and add them using an app.
- Hydrogen production solely from renewable energy
- Exclusive hydrogen source for northern Bavaria and the border region in Czech Republic
- Cross-sector use of renewable energy as a model for the future
Siemens Smart Infrastructure and WUN H2 GmbH
signed a contract to build one of the largest hydrogen production plants in
Germany. It will be built in Wunsiedel in the north of Bavaria. With a power
intake of six megawatts in the initial development phase, the plant will run
solely on renewable energy and will be CO2-free. The electrolysis
plant from Siemens Energy will have the capacity to produce over 900 tons of
hydrogen per year in this first phase. When fully expanded, it will be able to
supply up to 2,000 tons. Groundbreaking is scheduled for the end of this year
and commissioning at the end of 2021.
- Built-in sensors, control functions, input/output and flexible power supply in one device
- Open KNX communication for integration from simple to advanced building management systems
- New slim and smooth design with touch buttons and rotary knob
- Fast installation and commissioning with the new ‘PCT Go’ app
Siemens Smart Infrastructure (SI) is
launching its new RDG200 thermostat range for a healthy and productive indoor
climate. Room automation is key for protecting and enhancing the occupants'
health as well as increasing productivity at the same time for a safe return to
work. The new range follows this approach and includes two digital thermostat
variants for temperature and humidity control as well as advanced KNX
communication between sensors and actuators to Siemens’ building management
systems such as Desigo and Synco. This ensures good air quality with peace in
mind to have indoor climate under control. Designed for most commercial
buildings, including hotels, offices and educational buildings, the new RDG200
thermostats support all conceivable energy-saving strategies in rooms for more
cost-efficiency, including occupancy-based
savings via presence detection, key-card reader or system time program as well
as different setpoint limitations. With their modern design and the one-touch
Green Leaf button, the new thermostats display the energy efficiency status and
puts the user in charge of energy savings.
- New standard library for shorter winding times at a higher quality
- Can be used for linear winding procedures of rectangular coils
- Engineering and commissioning times of winding machines are reduced
For the faster production of e-motors, Siemens has developed a new application which optimally controls wire tension for linear winding and minimizes fluctuations in force. The Wire Brake software application for automated winding of rectangular coil former controls the tension of the copper wire. In comparison to passive systems, this enables higher winding speeds and a higher winding quality to be achieved. The functionality can be integrated directly into the machine project using the standard library "Simotion Wire Brake" which shortens engineering and commissioning costs. It contains algorithms which include the rectangular geometry of the coil former as well as the "TensionControl" components to control the wire tension brake axis and "CamGeneration" to calculate cams using reference values.
- Enlighted Safe app helps track and trace employees who may have come in contact with an infected individual
- Allows organizations to potentially reduce the risk of virus transmission
- Provides insight into physical distancing events within the workplace
- Transparency into high-risk areas for better space management and planning
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched Enlighted Safe, a new workplace digital contact tracing app, which helps employees return safely to the workplace. Enlighted Safe provides greater transparency into the contact history of employees who are known to have tested positive for COVID-19. This is designed to support organizations in reducing the exposure of infection, keep healthy employees safe and productive, and eliminate the inefficient, expensive and error-prone manual contact tracing process for employers.
