- New AI-based apps for more efficient operation of water infrastructures available on the Siemens Xcelerator marketplace
- Easy integration into existing infrastructure without specialist knowledge
- Siemens to showcase its digitalization and automation portfolio for more sustainability in the water sector at IFAT 2024
Siemens, a leading technology company, has expanded its software portfolio for the water industry, enabling its customers to optimize their plant operations using artificial intelligence - without the need for technical expertise. These self-service solutions enable users to address the most pressing issues in water and wastewater operations: reducing water loss, preventing pollution from sewers, and ensuring the reliability of treatment assets. The effect of these applications is also a contribution to greater sustainability overall, as the world's water resources can be better protected. "Digital technologies have not yet been widely adopted in the water sector so far," says Anja Eimer, General Manager Global Water Business at Siemens. "The existing OT and IT device landscape of is complex, skilled workers are in short supply, and the business benefits of many digital applications have often been unclear. With our new software offerings, we are adressing these conditions and enabling water companies to perform AI-based operational analyses."
- Workstation provides with software-defined automation unprecedented control over factory automation and security
- At Automate 2024, Siemens highlights how co-creator Ford Motor Company will be the first customer to deploy and scale this technology in its manufacturing operations
Siemens, a leading
technology company, today announced a breakthrough in the longstanding
challenge of closely managing numerous hardware control points throughout the
factory. The solution is the new Siemens Simatic Automation
Workstation, which allows manufacturers to replace a hardware PLC, a

(OT) environments.
- Depot to be expanded to 87,550 m²
- New capacity for meeting growing demand
- 100% system availability thanks to digitalized depot operation
- Creation of attractive jobs in the region
- Up to 250 employees at the location in 2026
Siemens Mobility is investing approximately €150 million to expand its service depot in
Dortmund-Eving to 87,550 m² to meet the growing demand for rail services.
Plans call for constructing an additional 12,300 m² service hall
with storage facility, offices, and workshops to handle the maintenance of
trains up to 400 meters long. Construction
of the new building is scheduled to begin in 2024 and be completed by 2026. The
Siemens Mobility depot in Dortmund previously had a total area of
70,000 m² and will cover 157,550 m² when the project is
completed.

- The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft commissions a research factory for battery cells with a capacity of up to 200 MWh in Münster, Germany
- Testing, implementation, and optimization of near-series production under real conditions of battery cells – for the automotive industry, among others
- Siemens is a production and building technology partner in this ecosystem
According to a study by
the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research [Fraunhofer ISI],
battery production capacity in Europe alone will quadruple by 2025 from 124
gigawatt hours in 2022 to over 500 gigawatt hours. By 2030, this figure is expected
to increase tenfold to up to 1.5 terawatt hours.
