Siemens and Mennekes accelerate expansion of eMobility charging infrastructure
Siemens and Mennekes partner to simplify planning for sustainable eMobility charging infrastructure. The people in the picture are (from left to right): Gerald Hellermann, Head of Sales eMobility at Mennekes, Germany and Harald Mauch, Head of Electrical Products at Siemens Smart Infrastructure in Germany.
Siemens
Smart Infrastructure and Mennekes are partnering to simplify and improve power
distribution planning for eMobility charging infrastructure. As part of this
collaboration, Mennekes is the first partner to join the Simaris software
ecosystem, giving electrical planners access to Mennekes’ industrial eMobility
portfolio. The Simaris planning tools help electrical planners dimension the
electrical power distribution and determine the required devices such as
distribution boards, making the planning of e-charging infrastructure with
Mennekes charging stations simple, efficient, and seamless. This collaboration
is an important step towards promoting electromobility and thereby reducing CO₂ emissions in the transport sector.
“This partnership allows us to offer our customers
everything from a single source for fast and easy planning of sustainable
e-charging infrastructure. Together we are accelerating the energy
transition,” said Stephan May, CEO of Electrification and Automation, Siemens
Smart Infrastructure.
Electrical planning with Simaris planning tools
E-charging
solutions from Mennekes are simple and efficient to install. Through the
partnership, the preliminary planning steps for reliable energy distribution
for e-charging infrastructure are simplified. The Simaris tools enable the
automatic design of all components and systems for the e-charging
infrastructure, automatically considering relevant standards. The tool creates easy-to-use
planning documents and specifications for tenders, including budgeting.
Additionally, the tool provides Building Information Modeling (BIM) data for
smooth data exchange, so that the planning of the charging infrastructure can
be considered early in the digital twin. Projects and data from the Simaris
tools can be shared, exported and imported.
“We are
excited that Mennekes is the first external partner in our Simaris ecosystem,
giving customers direct access to their product portfolio. This will make power
distribution planning for eMobility infrastructure even simpler,” said Andreas
Matthé, CEO of Electrical Products, Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
Christopher
Mennekes, CEO of Mennekes, added: “For years, we have been offering not just
customized charging solutions, but also a wide range of services for planners.
By partnering with Siemens and integrating our charging infrastructure into
Simaris, we are continuing along this path and making day-to-day work easier
for planners.”
