Siemens will design and install twelve microgrids for the Brazilian utility Centrais Elétricas do Pará (CELPA). These microgrids will be built in power generation plants (distributed energy systems) in the state of Pará. A central control center in Belém will be able to monitor and control these self-contained island networks. Siemens will deliver and install the suitable automation, protection and control technology. This will improve the analysis of plant data and thus increase the availability and reliability of the plants. It will also make it possible to optimize and better plan the service and maintenance work of the service teams, so that fewer deployments on site are necessary. The two power plants furthest apart are at a distance of 890 kilometers from each other. The systems are scheduled to go into service at the beginning of 2018.
- Establishment of an occupational training center in the Ain Sokhna area
- Training 5,500 Egyptian youth over the next four years
- Agreement supports localized knowledge transfer and skills building in Egypt
To drive employment opportunities for Egyptian youth and increase workforce localization in line with Egypt Vision 2030, Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and Siemens have signed a strategic alliance agreement to support occupational training in Egypt, with total investment of more than 22 million euro.
- Alarm visualization and processing in a 3D model
- Collaboration with Intel supports real-time monitoring
- Addition to Integrated Data Center Management Suite (IDCMS)
The new release of Datacenter Clarity LC* Version 3.0, the DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) software from the Siemens Building Technologies Division, seamlessly integrates the Desigo CC building management platform, further improving the management of data center infrastructures. The critical alarms managed in Desigo CC can now be administered directly in Clarity LC via a web service. The system visualizes and processes critical alarms in a 3D model which shows the affected asset in real time. Once the appropriate solution for the alarm has been created in the 3D model, a workflow is set up that tasks the IT and facility management team with the physical implementation of possible changes in the data center. This optimizes the troubleshooting process across disciplines and departments.
- Continuous transformation as a recipe for success
- Unchanging characteristics as an innovative, quality-minded, customer-oriented, international, crisis-tested, adaptable and responsible company
- Digitalization as an important pillar for the future
On October 12, 1847, the predecessor of today's Siemens AG was founded in a workshop tucked away at the back of a Berlin courtyard. In the course of the 170 years that followed, Siemens constantly reinvented itself, survived crises, and continuously adapted its portfolio – thus proving itself capable of change. Today, Siemens is one of the leading companies in the field of digitalization. Over the decades, certain constants – such as internationality, a quality mindset and customer orientation – have remained guarantors of success. The guiding principle behind all this? "Whatever we do must offer long-term benefits and generate value – for our shareholders, employees and customers as well as our business partners and society," said Siemens AG President and CEO Joe Kaeser.
- With Wi-Tronix, Siemens expands its digitalized services for predictive maintenance in the rail sector
- Siemens makes a significant strategic equity investment in Wi-Tronix – transaction has been executed in October 2017
- Wi-Tronix to remain a standalone, founder-led company
Siemens and Wi-Tronix, headquartered in Bolingbrook near Chicago, U.S. are launching a partnership to expand digital predictive maintenance for rail services. Through the integration of their technologies, and joint development of new innovations, the companies seek to move the industry toward the objective of one hundred-percent availability of safe, efficient service. Siemens has made a significant equity investment in Wi-Tronix. Both companies have agreed to maintain confidentiality regarding financial details of the deal.

Siemens has completed the sale of 18.155 million ordinary shares in Osram Licht AG, thereby raising gross proceeds of approx. €1.2 billion. The sale followed an accelerated bookbuilt offering to institutional investors only.
- Cloud-based digitalization offering for energy suppliers facilitates development and installation of agile, fully integrated applications for the Internet of Things
- Numerous EnergyIP applications gradually available for MindSphere
- Service and applications part of Siemens' cyber security strategy
The further development of Siemens' EnergyIP smart grid applications marks another step forward in the digital transformation of the energy industry: In the future, more and more applications that today run on the EnergyIP smart grid application platform from Siemens will be integrated into MindSphere, the Siemens cloud-based open operating system for the Internet of Things (IoT). With this step, Siemens can provide energy suppliers with open and scalable digitalization applications for improved transparency in energy plants, data analytics, and optimized energy-related business processes. MindSphere for Energy reduces the cost for integrating new equipment and enables new and existing applications to be developed and installed using standardized interfaces on MindSphere. The platform and the applications are a part of the company's cyber security strategy. These solutions are already being implemented in development and production in order to meet current and future data security requirements.
