- Focus on ecofriendly vehicles
to help make company carbon neutral by 2030
- New app enables executives
to switch company cars flexibly anytime based on their specific requirements
- Under the EV100 initiative,
Siemens wants to have a fully electric fleet by 2030
In January 2022, Siemens
will introduce a new model for the company cars used by its executive-level
employees. Currently in the pilot phase, the new model is to be implemented
Germany-wide by the beginning of next year. The goal is to provide employees
with greater access to cars with ecofriendly drive systems and thus give them
an additional incentive to use electric vehicles. Siemens’ fleet organization
will also be more flexible and sustainable since employees will be able choose the
type of electric vehicle they want at any time based on their requirements. This
spring, the company joined the Climate Group’s EV100 initiative and thus set a
target of transitioning its global fleet to 100 percent electric mobility
by 2030.

- Unlocking digital model data along the product lifecycle for drive systems
- Accessing CAD data in web, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality
-
- Combining IIoT with visual computing for design collaboration and troubleshooting
Drive systems are core assets in industrial processes. Key aspects of the structural design and functionality are reflected in digital twins. Visualizing digital model data along the product lifecycle of a drive system is key in operational tasks from collaboration in design to remote service or troubleshooting. Moreover, the introduction of augmented reality and virtual reality in the industrial domain yields the potential to become a productivity driver for the human interaction with data.
- Focus on combining the real and the digital worlds
- IIoT: Data-based algorithms increase operational efficiency of plants
- Process optimization and modularization as the key to success
At the "Achema Pulse" live digital event, Siemens will be demonstrating how the combination of the real and the digital worlds empowers industrial companies to act in a versatile and sustainable manner. Companies in the process industry are facing urgent and rapidly changing challenges. The Covid-19 pandemic in particular has transformed demand patterns and global supply chains virtually overnight. At the same time, industry-specific regulations and standards are creating new framework conditions for production. Digitalization and automation are the levers for mastering these changes. Industrial IoT solutions can exploit the resulting data to secure a competitive advantage since the intelligent analysis, understanding and utilization of the data allows companies to adapt their processes faster to changing requirements. The Siemens Digital Enterprise portfolio makes this possible by combining the real world with the digital world, thus enabling solutions for simulation, virtual processes, remote access and connectivity as well as presenting service offerings for digital transformation. Thanks to the corresponding industry-specific know-how, individual sector requirements can be taken into account.
- Siemens
Caring Hands to make 100 oxygen concentrators available to medical institutions
in India through Caritas international
- Concentrators to be delivered to hospitals in Bengaluru, Goa and
Chennai
- Donations from Siemens to be used to provide further medical
equipment, hygiene kits, masks and food to affected families
The Siemens Caring Hands e.V. charity is
making a long-term contribution toward fighting the pandemic in India and is providing
100 oxygen concentrators to hospitals in Bengaluru, Goa and Chennai. The
concentrators are to be delivered by mid‑June 2021 to facilitate the
treatment of COVID-19 patients. India is one of the countries hardest hit by
the corona crisis. The World Health Organization estimates that about 29
million people have contracted COVID-19 in India since the pandemic began and that
about 350,000 of them have died.
- First automated railway in Germany
- Passenger benefits: Technology provides higher
capacity and reliability with better energy balance
- “Decisive move for step change in mobility”
(Berlin, June 9, 2021) This year, the German Mobility Award goes to the Digital S-Bahn Hamburg.
The team from Deutsche Bahn and Siemens Mobility is putting Germany’s first
fully automated railway in service. In cooperation with the city of Hamburg,
four Hamburg S-Bahn trains operating with passengers will be digitally
controlled during the ITS Congress in October. The advantage of the new
technology, which has been under development since 2018: More trains can
operate on existing rail lines with higher reliability and lower energy
consumption.

- Scalance MUM856-1 connects local industrial applications to public 5G, 4G, and 3G mobile wireless networks
- Router supports future-oriented applications such as remote access via public 5G networks or the connection of mobile devices such as automated guided vehicles in industry
- Robust version in IP65 housing for use outside the control cabinet
- Prototypes of Siemens 5G infrastructure for private networks already in use at several sites
The Scalance
MUM856-1 – the first industrial 5G router from Siemens – is available now. The
device connects local industrial applications to public 5G, 4G (LTE), and 3G
(UMTS) mobile wireless networks. The router can be used to remotely monitor and
service plants, machines, control elements, and other industrial devices via a public
5G network – flexibly and with high data rates. Demand for this type of
solution is growing in industry. In addition, the device can be integrated into
private 5G networks. The Scalance MUM856-1 therefore supports future-oriented
applications such as mobile robots in manufacturing, autonomous vehicles in
logistics or augmented reality applications for service technicians. Thanks to
a robust IP65 housing, the router can also be used outside the control cabinet,
for example under harsh conditions in production or in outdoor facilities in
the water industry.
