- EcoDomus software creates and visualizes BIM-based digital building twins
- Acquisition to enrich Siemens’ digital building software portfolio, addressing increasing customer requirements
- Customers benefit from optimized operations and easier maintenance of their buildings
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has signed an agreement
to acquire digital twin software for buildings from EcoDomus, a US-based
company. The move helps Siemens Smart Infrastructure expand its digital
building portfolio, including its cloud-based building operations twin software
and its flagship building management platform Desigo CC. The EcoDomus software creates,
maintains and visualizes Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based digital
building twins, making design and construction data available for building
operations and maintenance. Customers can generate digital replicas of their real
buildings and assets, creating a common data environment that integrates BIM, Building
Management Systems (BMS), Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS)
and Internet of Things (IoT) systems. The solution enables BIM-driven workflows
and digital twin-based lifecycle management, complemented by 3D visualization.
- An Avenio vehicle equipped with SiC technology spent one year transporting passengers in Munich and covered 65,000 kilometers in the process
- Energy use was cut by 10 percent and motor noise was reduced as well
- Joint research project conducted as part of the European development and research program PINTA
Siemens Mobility and Stadtwerke München (SWM) successfully completed a one-year test of semiconductor technology based on silicon carbide (SiC) in an Avenio streetcar in Munich in August. They have now presented the results of their research. The study found that the motor noise produced by the vehicle fell sharply and that energy use declined as well during the trips that the tram made on Munich’s public-transportation rail network. The semiconductor technology was produced by Infineon Technologies. The tests were conducted as part of the European research and development project PINTA. By taking part in the trial, Siemens Mobility significantly contributed to efforts to integrate SiC power semiconductors into rail vehicles.
At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board

- Morocco’s
National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) launches an ambitious
transformation project in collaboration with Atos and Siemens
Atos, Siemens and Morocco’s National
Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (Office National de l'Électricité et
de l'Eau potable, ONEE) are pleased to announce their collaboration on a large
project for the smart management of the local power grid (“smart grid”). Atos
and Siemens are working on deploying a smart energy metering platform that will
allow ONEE to efficiently process the data collected by more than 100,000 smart
meters that will be installed across the country, thus optimizing energy
consumption and management of the national grid while meeting Morocco's growing
energy needs.
- Workflow improvements change how users work with the software
- Includes new features such as Event and Data Action Management
- Business monitoring made easier with improved data transparency
- Task time reduction by up to 85 percent
- Significant savings on repetitive tasks, roughly 166 person days annually
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has relaunched
its leading and proven smart meter data management software EnergyIP, focusing
on enhancing user experience. This stems from increasing requirements for better
data quality and further automation, leading to a focus on workflow
improvements and user-centricity. Now the software collates all relevant data on
one screen, making it easier to understand and identify correlations and root
causes through interactive visualizations and shortcuts. The latest EnergyIP Mosaic software is intuitive and efficient with noticeably fewer
clicks, which leads to task time reduction by up to 85
percent. Thanks to additional data transparency and improved anomaly detection,
users can make decisions with greater speed and confidence.

- Third party app providers can now offer solutions based on the Siemens Industrial Edge Platform
- New transaction mechanism – select, buy and use software from the open App Store with just a few clicks
- App providers profit from seamless services and instant access to the industrial automation market
Siemens, a leading provider of automation technology and industrial software, has launched a digital and vendor independent, cross-manufacturer App Store for industry customers. The marketplace serves as a transaction mechanism specifically for the Siemens Industrial Edge platform: an innovative IT platform which enables the scalable deployment of IT technologies and apps in the production environment. In addition to the Siemens Edge apps for the discrete and machine tool industries, third-party providers such as Braincube, Cybus, SeioTec and Tosibox have already started to list their products. Customers thus benefit from a broad range of software components, offered by numerous providers and manufacturers, which they can integrate into their manufacturing processes in a standardized manner. Today, the multifaceted offering already ranges from connectivity, data storage, visualization and analysis right up to machine monitoring, as well as energy and asset management. As an open software platform, Industrial Edge thus constitute an Edge Computing ecosystem.
