Siemens has been engaged by BKW Group to install a cloud-based meter data management system for power consumption data. Swiss law now requires the installation of smart electricity meters. As a result the volume of data that BKW is required to process will increase more than 40,000-fold. The cloud-based Siemens system, EnergyIP makes it possible to record and analyze these huge data volumes automatically. Siemens, working with Omnetric Group, the technology services company they founded with Accenture, will implement, integrate and operate the Software as a Service (SaaS) solution.
Siemens stands for understanding and openness and opposes every form of discrimination, social exclusion, hate and nationalism. Siemens' Managing Board, Senior Management, Central Works Council and entire workforce as well as the IG Metall metalworkers' union stand together against every form of populism and racism. Regardless of where in the world it originates or who is behind it – discrimination stands in stark contrast to our company's values. We have operations in more than 200 countries around the world, and employees from about 170 different nations work at our company. Respect, tolerance and diversity are a matter of course for us, and they form the foundation for our company values. The action that we take together aims to create value and improve quality of life for all – without any form of social exclusion due to national origin, religion, appearance or sexual orientation. Racism can raise its ugly head anywhere: in kindergartens and schools, among the general public, in our free time or at the workplace. For this reason, we should and must take an effective stand against discrimination and for our values – day in and day out.
