- Founded as a courtyard workshop in Berlin on October 1, 1847
- Around four million people employed worldwide to date since 1847
- Current global market leader in automation, electrification, digitalization and transportation
- Celebration in Berlin with German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz
On October
12, 1847, Siemens started operations as a small factory workshop with ten
employees manufacturing pointer telegraphs, in a courtyard tucked away behind a
building on Schoeneberger Strasse in Berlin. Now, 175 years later, Siemens has more
than 300,000 employees around the world and, with around €62 billion in annual
revenue, is one of the world’s largest technology powerhouses. On
October 1, 1847, 11 days before operations began, Werner von Siemens and
precision mechanic Johann Georg Halske had completed the company’s official
founding. Today, October 12, 2022, Siemens is marking its 175th birthday with a
celebratory event at the Schaltwerk factory in the Siemensstadt section of
Berlin. German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, together with numerous guests
from the realms of politics, business and academia will join the anniversary event.

- New Fire Safety Digital Services enable businesses to move from reactive to proactive fire safety
- First-in-market cloud-based portfolio goes beyond compliance, for total protection through intelligent safety
- Combines on-site and above-site services for automatic data capture, analysis and disturbance-free testing
Siemens has launched Fire Safety Digital
Services, a first-in-market portfolio of digital and managed services which
connects fire safety systems to the cloud, enabling businesses to move from a reactive,
compliance-led approach to total protection through intelligent safety. By
embracing digital services in operation, event-handling and maintenance,
customers can improve hazard identification and prevention, make better
risk-control decisions, protect business continuity, and provide a safe
environment for people and assets.
- Siemens and partners launch safe.trAIn
research project
- Practicable linking of AI processes with
requirements and approval procedures in railway environments
- AI-based methodologies for driverless
regional trains
- Safe.trAIn to support standardization
activities in AI and rail transportation
In a project that will run until the end of 2024, Siemens
and 16 partners will facilitate advances in the driverless operation of
regional trains with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI). Within the “safe.trAIn”
project, which the German government is subsidizing, there is a budget of €23 million
available for this task. Solutions for meeting the requirements in this highly
regulated and standardized environment have the potential to substantially boost
the efficiency and sustainability of regional railway transportation.
- American Electric Power chooses Siemens’ PSS®CAPE industry-leading software for highly detailed protection simulation
- Software interoperability allows AEP to seamlessly synchronize and exchange model data across planning, operations, and protection
- Accelerates energy transition by enabling sustainable integration of decentralized renewable energy resources to the grid
- Order underscores Siemens Xcelerator strategy for open, interoperable, flexible software to accelerate energy transition at scale
Siemens
will replace American Electric Power’s (AEP) existing
protection simulation operation software with PSS®CAPE. Ohio-based AEP,
the largest transmission grid operator in the U.S., serves 5.5 million
customers across 11 states and maintains the largest transmission network in
the country with over 40,000 miles of transmission lines. As grid planning and
operations becomes more complex, traditional, siloed manual practices for
sharing model data across departments are no longer optimal. AEP is creating a unified
digital model of its entire transmission network, called T-Nexus, consisting of
one common network model that all departments work
from to ensure reliable planning, operation, and protection of the power grid.
- Global leader in design-for-test (DFT) technology paves the way for mainstream adoption of 3D ICs
