The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg and Siemens
Mobility GmbH announced yesterday at the UITP Congress in Barcelona that they
will further intensify their collaboration to promote sustainability in rail
transportation. As part of the cooperation, new automation technologies will be
developed and tested to increase capacity and reduce energy consumption in rail
transportation by the UITP World Congress in 2025 and 2027. The joint focus
aims to make a concrete contribution to the set sustainability goals.
- Water model demonstrates the use of digital solutions in real scenarios
- Digital twin in use for more efficiency and process optimization
- Siemens Water applications increase optimization and savings potential in water and wastewater plants
Climate change, urbanisation, water pollution and stricter laws and
regulations – water management is facing major challenges. In order to meet the
increasing demand for clean water and to protect water resources sustainably,
innovations, ideas and initiatives are required.
At this year's IFAT, Siemens will be showcasing how digitalization and
automation are helping to meet these requirements and promote and optimize
sustainable water management.
- Initial
order for 25 Vectron MS units for continental Europe
Beacon, a leading European rolling stock lessor, and Siemens
Mobility have signed a major framework agreement for the delivery of Vectron
multi system locomotives, with an initial contract of 25 units. The new Vectron
locomotives with a power of 6.4 MW will supplement the existing Vectron Beacon
fleet. The units will be produced at the Siemens Mobility plant in
Munich-Allach, while the bogies will come from the global competence center in
Graz.
- Innovative Sentron 3WA circuit breaker series part of Siemens Xcelerator
- Designed to improve ease of use, reliability, and digitalization when integrating into existing systems
- Essential for critical infrastructure, such as hospitals or data centers
- 3WA1 (IEC), 3WA2 (UL489), and 3WA3 (UL1066+IEC) offer worldwide compatibility
Siemens has launched two new additional
versions of its innovative Sentron 3WA Power Circuit Breakers, alternatively
known as Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs). Series 3WA3 meets the requirements of UL
1066 and IEC 60947-2 standards, which enables customers to use it worldwide.
This is particularly advantageous for switchgear manufacturers and OEMs producing
systems for both standardization areas – IEC and UL. The 3WA2 series is
designed exclusively for the UL 489 market. The two new ACB model series
complement the 3WA1 version for IEC markets, which has been launched in the
fall of 2020. Siemens offers a full range of ACBs which are based on a
consistent system and offer great flexibility for applications around the
globe. The Sentron 3WA Power Circuit Breakers are part of the Siemens
Xcelerator portfolio. Siemens Xcelerator is an open digital business platform
that enables customers to accelerate their digital transformation easier,
faster, and at scale.

- Industrial Copilot will optimize engineering and support operations – and it’s easy, fast and efficient
- Industrial Copilot is key to addressing the qualified workforce shortage
Technology company Siemens
is harnessing the power of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to help
industrial companies drive innovation and efficiency across the design,
engineering, manufacturing and operational lifecycle of products. At the Smart
Production Solutions (SPS) trade show in Nuremberg, Siemens and the motion
technology company Schaeffler are showcasing a production machine that is augmented
with the Industrial Copilot for the first time. The two companies are demonstrating
how the Industrial Copilot can augment Siemens’ industrial automation
engineering and operation solutions.
- Gridscale X Network Model Manager enables better grid planning, operations and maintenance for ISOs and TSOs with a Digital Twin
- The software is cloud ready as well as fully accessible via APIs, and comes with a modular architecture and cutting-edge user interface
- Gridscale X Network Model Manager is the next generation of Siemens’ network model management offerings and part of Siemens Xcelerator
Siemens has announced the launch of new Gridscale X software with the release of a Gridscale X Network Model Manager in the US and Canada. The product allows ISOs (independent system operators) and TSOs (transmission system operators) to centrally manage their network data with a Digital Twin of the power grid for more efficient planning, development and operations.
- Norwegian distribution system operator, Elvia, to use Siemens’ SaaS product, LV Insights® X, to automate processes and handle grid complexity in the LV grid
- LV Insights® X, part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, has been operational at Elvia in conjunction with Spectrum Power TM 7 ADMS since October 2023
- Partnership will enable future-proof distribution grid management in Norway, one step further on the journey towards autonomous grids
Siemens’ software has been deployed to Norwegian distribution system operator (DSO) Elvia, with the goal to future-proof its distribution grid management. Siemens’ low voltage software, LV Insights® X, and advanced distribution management system, Spectrum PowerTM 7 ADMS, are now operational and will provide Elvia with relevant insights to flexibly manage its grid and increase capacity fast. With LV Insights® X, Elvia is able to leverage existing data and create a digital twin to monitor the status of the grid, resulting in optimized outage management. This leads to cost-savings, improved grid stability and ultimately, customer satisfaction.
- Each level of the S-building is ventilated using a separate HVAC
system to ensure 100% fresh air
- This system helps the hospital to comply with more stringent energy
standards and ventilation requirements
- Lighting, air conditioning and access control are managed from a
single user-friendly interface using the Desigo CC system
- Technology ecosystem and energy equipment to provide optimum support
for healthcare personnel
Siemens has finished installing a
leading-edge HVAC system in the new S-building which has extended the A.S.Z.
(general city hospital) campus in Aalst, Belgium. The building technology
experts have also supplied the CCTV and access control systems. All air
conditioning, ventilation and security functions have been brought together in
the Siemens management system, Desigo CC. This makes it much easier to operate
for both healthcare personnel and patients, thereby providing more comfortable
rooms and reducing energy consumption at the same time. Siemens is therefore
helping the A.S.Z. in Aalst to meet the Belgian Supreme Council of Health's
increasingly stringent requirements and standards for energy efficiency in
buildings.
