• Siemens supplies the latest automation and digitalization technology for the production of Covid-19 vaccines
• Joint creation of a vaccine production facility in Singapore

• Alpentherme boosts energy efficiency and climate neutrality
• Annual cost savings of more than €80,000 through comprehensive modernization efforts

In cooperation with Siemens Smart Infrastructure, Alpentherme Gastein is undertaking various modernization efforts to make one of Austria’s largest spas emissions-free. Alpentherme Gastein, which has six themed “worlds” covering 36,000 square meters, and Siemens have been long-term partners working to advance technological development and improve building solutions installed at the wellness establishment. They recently completed a joint project with an investment of approximately €1.7 million, transforming Alpentherme Gastein into a state-of-the-art facility with higher levels of energy efficiency and climate neutrality. Among other things, the upgrades consisted of adapting the entire hydronic heating system and swimming pool ventilation, including enlarging the heating registers. Adapting the system hydronics allows a large share of the required thermal energy to be generated by means of low-temperature heat pumps. This makes it possible to use recovered thermal energy sources and reduce energy generation costs. As a result, Alpentherme has cut its annual costs by approximately €82,000 while reducing carbon emissions by almost 370 tons per year.

• Focus on ecofriendly vehicles to help make company carbon neutral by 2030
• New app enables executives to switch company cars flexibly anytime based on their specific requirements
• Under the EV100 initiative, Siemens wants to have a fully electric fleet by 2030

In January 2022, Siemens will introduce a new model for the company cars used by its executive-level employees. Currently in the pilot phase, the new model is to be implemented Germany-wide by the beginning of next year. The goal is to provide employees with greater access to cars with ecofriendly drive systems and thus give them an additional incentive to use electric vehicles. Siemens’ fleet organization will also be more flexible and sustainable since employees will be able choose the type of electric vehicle they want at any time based on their requirements. This spring, the company joined the Climate Group’s EV100 initiative and thus set a target of transitioning its global fleet to 100 percent electric mobility by 2030.

• Unlocking digital model data along the product lifecycle for drive systems
• Accessing CAD data in web, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality 
• Combining IIoT with visual computing for design collaboration and troubleshooting

Drive systems are core assets in industrial processes. Key aspects of the structural design and functionality are reflected in digital twins. Visualizing digital model data along the product lifecycle of a drive system is key in operational tasks from collaboration in design to remote service or troubleshooting. Moreover, the introduction of augmented reality and virtual reality in the industrial domain yields the potential to become a productivity driver for the human interaction with data. 

• Focus on combining the real and the digital worlds
• IIoT: Data-based algorithms increase operational efficiency of plants
• Process optimization and modularization as the key to success

At the "Achema Pulse" live digital event, Siemens will be demonstrating how the combination of the real and the digital worlds empowers industrial companies to act in a versatile and sustainable manner. Companies in the process industry are facing urgent and rapidly changing challenges. The Covid-19 pandemic in particular has transformed demand patterns and global supply chains virtually overnight. At the same time, industry-specific regulations and standards are creating new framework conditions for production. Digitalization and automation are the levers for mastering these changes. Industrial IoT solutions can exploit the resulting data to secure a competitive advantage since the intelligent analysis, understanding and utilization of the data allows companies to adapt their processes faster to changing requirements. The Siemens Digital Enterprise portfolio makes this possible by combining the real world with the digital world, thus enabling solutions for simulation, virtual processes, remote access and connectivity as well as presenting service offerings for digital transformation. Thanks to the corresponding industry-specific know-how, individual sector requirements can be taken into account.

• Siemens Caring Hands to make 100 oxygen concentrators available to medical institutions in India through Caritas international
