“We are excited to
welcome the BuntPlanet team to Siemens and strengthen our software portfolio
for the water industry," says Axel Lorenz, CEO of Process Automation at
Siemens. "The digitalization of the water industry is key to tackling
current and future challenges of the global water supply. This acquisition will
enable us to provide our customers with a more integrated and comprehensive
solution for managing their water networks."
Aihnoa Lete, CEO at
BuntPlanet, says: “By joining Siemens, we are becoming part of a team that is
leading the digital revolution globally. We are excited about the growth that
this closer relationship will bring.”
BuntPlanet’s core offering, BuntBrain, is a
software platform with solutions for leak detection, water quality improvement,
end-use water analysis, water loss reduction, asset management, digital twin and
water meter management. The application includes the latest advances in
Artificial Intelligence, big data, and hydraulic simulation to pre-locate leaks
and other anomalies, minimizing risk of damage to infrastructure and reducing
operational and maintenance costs. With proven integration with Siemens
Measurement Intelligence hardware portfolio the combination of sector leading
instrumentation and software has demonstrated detection of leaks as small as
0.25 liter per second. For instance, Siemens customer VA Syd, a Swedish water
company, developed a smart leakage detection system based on the AI-powered
SIWA LeakPlus application provided by Siemens.
Since December 1st, 2023, BuntPlanet is a 100
percent subsidiary of Siemens Spain. The company is assigned organizationally
to Siemens Digital Industries and part of the Process Automation Business Unit.
Once the integration has fully concluded, Siemens will make BuntPlanet’s
offering also available on its open business platform, Siemens Xcelerator.
