Siemens Smart Infrastructure (SI) has teamed up with Auto-Info to jointly develop a modular COVID-19 examination unit. The mobile lab structure and system have been designed to avoid contamination among patients or from patients to medical staff by using the Climatix IC platform, a flexible and scalable advanced HVAC control solution from Siemens.
- Declared intermediate target for CO2 reduction achieved
- Sustainability index embedded into Managing Board compensation system
- Innovative digital ESG tool provides basis for comprehensive review of
sustainability risks in customers’ business operations
- Top ratings in Dow Jones Sustainability Index, in particular for innovation,
environment and cybersecurity
Siemens has
achieved its declared intermediate target for carbon reduction. The company has reduced the carbon footprint
of its own value chain by more than half (54%) since 2014. Siemens has thus exceeded
– by four percentage points – its goal of halving its global carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions by
2020. Including Siemens Energy, the company has reduced its carbon emissions by
around 1.2 million tons of CO2 compared to its 2014 levels. Four
levers are being used to reduce carbon emissions: expanding the energy
efficiency program, using distributed energy systems, purchasing green power, and
reducing emissions in the vehicle fleet. Siemens intends to achieve climate
neutrality in its business operations by 2030. The company has recently published these details and other up-to-date information
on sustainability.

White Space Cooling Optimization for highly efficient greenfield data center in Paris region
- Intelligent, continuously learning solution to support data center’s 24/7 availability and energy efficiency
Siemens Smart Infrastructure is supplying the first Tier IV-certified data center in the region of Paris, France. The “Thésée” data center will meet the highest industry standards for availability and energy efficiency. Siemens will install its White Space Cooling Optimization (WSCO) smart solution to optimize the building’s energy efficiency as well as the thermal protection of the server rooms by automatically adjusting the operation of the cooling systems.
- Siemens and Merck announce project partnership
- Cooperation will drive forward modular production (Plug&Produce) based on the MTP and POL standard
- Quick adaptation to process requirements with little effort
- A one stop solution with hardware and software components from Siemens
Siemens and science and technology company Merck will work together in future at Merck's headquarters in Darmstadt to develop a technical backbone for the modular production of the future. The aim is to create a production line that flexibly combines various individual process modules and to use Module Type Package (MTP) and Process Orchestration Layer (POL) technology to drastically reduce engineering effort. At the same time, it should be possible to adapt quickly to process requirements. With its integrated product range covering all production levels (field to MES), Siemens is able to provide all the necessary hardware and software components from its own product portfolio.
- DS3: ÖBB and Siemens Mobility put the first digital interlocking architecture into operation in Achau, Austria
- Digitalisation generates major economic benefits for infrastructure operators
- First approval of a digital SIL4 interlocking based on COTS hardware
Together with Siemens Mobility, ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG has put a completely new digitalisation solution in the field of safety and security technology into operation at the train station in Achau, Austria: The “Distributed Smart Safe System” (DS3) is an innovative digitalisation solution and the basis for cloud-enabled interlocking (“Interlocking in the Cloud”).
- Charging technology for 37 new electric buses installed at West London depot
- Fully electric-enabled bus garage incorporates power infrastructure, maintenance and charging facilities
- Supplying 11 megawatt hours to 37 double-decker buses daily
In partnership with Tower Transit, a bus operator in London and part of
the SeaLink Travel Group, Siemens Smart Infrastructure provided the charging
infrastructure for 37 new fully-electric double decker buses in London.
Westbourne Park garage, on the Great Western Road, is the operator’s first
depot in London incorporating fully electric routes with power infrastructure,
maintenance and charging facilities. Bus routes 23 and C3 operate from the
Westbourne Park site, with the first few Optare Metrodecker zero-emission
double-deckers already in operation, the remaining fleet is expected to be in
service in the next months.
- Early detection of anomalies in the drivetrain with the support of artificial intelligence
- Trend Prediction for optimized maintenance efficiency
- Higher productivity and reduced machine and system downtime
Siemens has supplemented the Mindsphere application Predictive Service Assistance with an AI-based module. The new Artificial Intelligence module identifies concrete fault patterns in motors at an early stage, such as misalignment or a defective bearing. The application thus helps users to reduce downtimes and further improve spare parts and maintenance processes. The new Artificial Intelligence module for motors uses a neural network to solve what was previously implemented using a defined KPI limit value. This enables the module to detect anomalies even before the defined limit value and provides clear indications of the type and severity of faults and their development. As soon as the application detects signs of an error, it warns the user and generates a due date that indicates when the error should ideally be corrected and what corrective action is recommended to prevent an unplanned downtime. Predictive Service Assistance with the new AI-based Artificial Intelligence module is offered as part of a Predictive Service Assessment. The package includes a customized configuration service that ensures that the Mindsphere application with the new AI-based module runs optimally according to the customer's requirements.
- Grid edge estimated to be crucial to tackle the energy transition
- Assessment of grid edge readiness and need for 36 countries worldwide
- Results provide valuable insights for governments and industries alike
In the effort to mitigate climate change, global energy markets are changing for good. Energy generation is increasingly relying on renewables, and formerly passive consumers are becoming active prosumers. For this energy turnaround to succeed, the grid edge – the interface between energy supply and energy demand – is more important than ever. Grid edge technologies are crucial to support the energy transformation. They encompass a wide range of technologies, from electric vehicles to heat pumps, solar panels, and smart meters to apps which allow remote control of appliances.
