- Siemens strengthens position as a key technology partner for automotive battery manufacturing
Siemens and Automotive Cells Company (ACC) have signed
a Memorandum of Understanding to join forces in a new strategic partnership. Under
the agreement, Siemens will become ACC’s preferred supplier in automation, digitalization,
and electrification technology, enabling ACC to scale-up its production,
maximizing plant and energy efficiency.
- Companies intend to jointly deliver managed services, leveraging the breadth of Siemens’ and partner solutions to manage e-Truck fleets, energy, charging infrastructure and facilities
- Data-driven, turnkey management of critical assets to enable scaling to robust fleet operations for Volta Trucks customers
Siemens Smart Infrastructure
and Volta Trucks, the leading full-electric commercial vehicle manufacturer
and services provider, today
announced a strategic partnership to deliver and scale eMobility charging
infrastructure to simplify the transition to fleet electrification.
- Open, digital business platform Siemens Xcelerator based on comprehensive, curated portfolio of software, services and connected hardware keeps expanding
- Volta Trucks and Siemens partner to accelerate commercial fleet electrification
- Automotive Cells Company (ACC) and Siemens partner to optimize battery cell production
- Siemens is confident to exceed 10 percent revenue growth in its digital businesses, in fiscal 2022
- Digital Twins are building blocks of the emerging industrial metaverse
Together
with its partners and customers, Siemens is driving the digital transformation
of economies through its open digital business platform Siemens Xcelerator,
launched on June 29, 2022. The platform consists of a comprehensive, curated
portfolio; a powerful ecosystem of partners and a marketplace for customers,
partners and developers and strives to make digitalization easier, faster and
at scale. Today, Siemens announced two new partnerships related to the Siemens
Xcelerator platform.
- Founded as a courtyard workshop in Berlin on October 1, 1847
- Around four million people employed worldwide to date since 1847
- Current global market leader in automation, electrification, digitalization and transportation
- Celebration in Berlin with German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz
On October
12, 1847, Siemens started operations as a small factory workshop with ten
employees manufacturing pointer telegraphs, in a courtyard tucked away behind a
building on Schoeneberger Strasse in Berlin. Now, 175 years later, Siemens has more
than 300,000 employees around the world and, with around €62 billion in annual
revenue, is one of the world’s largest technology powerhouses. On
October 1, 1847, 11 days before operations began, Werner von Siemens and
precision mechanic Johann Georg Halske had completed the company’s official
founding. Today, October 12, 2022, Siemens is marking its 175th birthday with a
celebratory event at the Schaltwerk factory in the Siemensstadt section of
Berlin. German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz, together with numerous guests
from the realms of politics, business and academia will join the anniversary event.
With the work
inaugurated today, the Rail Service Center of Novara, Italy is a candidate to
be one of the thirteen world centers of excellence managed by Siemens Mobility
for the maintenance of rolling stock - passenger trains, high-speed trains,
locomotives, subways - and the second in Europe for locomotive maintenance
after the Allach factory site in Germany.
Sustainability in additive manufacturing
What does truly environmentally friendly additive manufacturing look like? Using a few selected stations, our experts will explain how digitalization, efficient use of resources and cross-industry collaboration are creating sustainable additive manufacturing: With more efficient production processes, sustainable design and a resilient supply chain, additive manufacturing is helping to achieve climate goals and shape an environmentally friendly industry.Experience at our booth (D119, Hall 12.1) how Siemens brings together the real and the digital world to realize sustainable additive manufacturing.
Thus, the potential of additive manufacturing is manifold:
- More efficient production and more resilient supply chains through print-on-demand and digital warehousing.
- Quickly repair and improve products instead of replacing them
- Optimized product design thanks to completely new construction methods
- Improved material efficiency, circular economy and carbon footprint
- Individualization and industrialization at the same time - infinitely scalable production from lot size one to mass production
- CBTC
signaling system and GoA4 operation to be implemented across a 22.8 km route, at
23 stations, and on 25 trains
- GoA4
functionality will allow for full automated driverless train operations
- The automated
signaling system will provide greater availability, enhanced operations, and
better passenger experience
Siemens Mobility, along with consortium partners ST
Engineering and Stadler, have been awarded an Electrical and Mechanical (E&M)
turnkey contract to deliver the Yellow Line for Kaohsiung Metro. Siemens
Mobility will provide its state-of-the-art CBTC signaling technology with GoA4
functionality, which will allow for full automated train operations (ATO). Furthermore,
Siemens Mobility will deliver its highly reliable and precise Airlink radio
communication system which will facilitate the communication of wayside and
onboard signaling equipment, that will be installed on the new trains.
Twelve Siemens
Mobility trams have been in service in Ulm since 2018. A further six vehicles
have been reordered and the first Avenio M will be put on the rails this week -
around 10 months ahead of the announced delivery date.
- Cooperation in the industry and infrastructure market segments
- Optimized solution for switchgear manufacturers and electrical planners
- Siemens to join the Eplan Partner Network as a strategic partner
Siemens
Smart Infrastructure and Eplan have signed a strategic partnership to
strengthen collaboration in the area of software solutions for the industry and
infrastructure market segments. As part of this agreement, Siemens’ Electrical
Products business unit will join the Eplan Partner Network as a strategic
partner. The objective is to coordinate the products of both companies in a
more targeted manner in order to offer optimized solutions for switchgear
manufacturers and electrical planners. Sebastian Seitz, CEO of Eplan, and
Andreas Matthé, CEO of Electrical Products at Siemens Smart Infrastructure,
signed the agreement to this effect on September 26, 2022.
