- Higher performance, increased accuracy, full utilization of the stockyard area, and optimized energy consumption compared to staffed operation
- Pilot project for Jiangsu Binxin Special Steel Material Co. Ltd. is a first step towards intelligent upgrading of plants
To improve air quality in China's urban centers, part of the country's counter measures has resulted in stockyard of iron, steel and the production of other industrial activities to move to indoor facilities instead of traditional outdoor locations. To take an industry leadership role, while continuing to meet expanding market needs by increasing production capacity, the Jiangsu Binxin Special Steel Material Co. Ltd. (Binxin Steel) decided to upgrade its plant intelligence by moving to an innovative autonomous stockyard management system from Siemens. This also has the advantage of overcoming the challenge of hiring and retaining skilled workers and engineers, while simultaneously providing continuous, safe, secure, and reliable operations. This project is a first step towards upgrading of the company's plant intelligence.

The smart technologies will support Expo 2020 Dubai's targets for energy efficiency, comfort, safety and security.
- Siemens acquires non-controlling minority ownership in Coelme Group
- Coelme Group focused on serving the European market with high-voltage disconnecting switches
Siemens and Coelme Group, an Italian-based subsidiary of Southern States LCC, one of the leading manufacturers of high voltage disconnect switches, have agreed to Siemens acquiring a non-controlling minority shareholding of 25% in Coelme Group. Ralf Christian, Siemens AG, CEO Energy Management Division, says: "The development and the flexibilization of the transmission grids are of greatest importance for achieving the climate targets. In this context, innovative high voltage disconnect switches remain an important portfolio. Our cooperation with Coelme accelerates innovations and broadens the range of offers for our customers". Coelme Group continues to operate as a standalone company, independent of Siemens. Coelme Group and Siemens will have a business relationship at Arm's-Length Principle. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions including approval by the relevant competition authority. Closing is expected to be completed in the first half of calendar year 2019.
- Hesse's state capital commissions Siemens Mobility to implement Digi-V
- Intelligent infrastructure to analyze environmental and traffic data
- Environment-sensitive traffic controls reduces emissions
Hesse's state capital Wiesbaden has commissioned Siemens Mobility to implement its "Digitalization of Traffic" (DIGI-V) project, which is based on the city's "Green City Plan – Masterplan WI-Connect." The project aims to implement measures that will reduce traffic-related emissions. To achieve this, environmental and traffic data will be recorded, analysed and processed in real time.
The need for electromobility is growing, as is the need for an efficient charging infrastructure. As a pioneer in electromobility, Siemens has global experience, maintains a strong portfolio along the entire value chain, and plays an active role in advancing the development and standardization of charging solutions worldwide.Siemens is part of the "FastCharge" research project together with BMW Group as consortium leader, Allego GmbH, Phoenix Contact E-Mobility GmbH as well as Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG. This project is investigating the technological requirements that vehicles and infrastructure must meet in order to be able to use extremely high charging capacities. The industrial companies involved in the research project presented the latest advancements in the field of fast and convenient energy supply for electrically powered vehicles on December 12, 2018. The prototype of a charging station with a capacity of up to 450 kW was inaugurated in Jettingen-Scheppach, Bavaria. At this ultra-fast charging station, electrically powered research vehicles created as part of the project are able to demonstrate charging times of less than three minutes for the first 100 kilometres of range or 15 minutes for a full charge (10-80 % State of Charge (SOC)).The energy supply system of Siemens used in the project contains both high-power electronics for the charging connections as well as the communication interface to the electric vehicles. For the connection to the public power grid, a charging container was implemented with two charging connections for CCS-compatible vehicles. One connection has an unprecedented charging capacity of max. 450 kW while the second can deliver up to 175 kW.
