Balancing performance, costs, and risks of rail systems is not an easy task for asset owners, asset stewards, maintainers, and operators of rolling stock and rail infrastructure. This is where our intelligent support comes in with data-driven asset performance management and asset investment planning tools.

From Cloud interlocking in Norway to Vehicle Equipment Measurement System (VEMS) powered by Railigent in Thameslink to REAMS in Singapore, each of these use cases from Mobility are focused on increasing asset lifecycle, enhancing safety, network availability and capacity on the rail system while reducing infrastructure & maintenance costs.

Increased connectivity and connected assets have led to an increase in the exposure to cyber threats and attacks.  With our experience and expertise in the various markets and knowledge in the cybersecurity space, we provide tailored solutions that can protect anything from an entire fleet of rail networks and remote critical powerplant to smart cities or digital manufacturing facilities of today or tomorrow. Our holistic approach mitigates human risk, fortifies processes, and secures technology.

With the rise of IoT, AI & ML the volume of data has witnessed an exponential rise. Datacenters need to be scalable to manage this every-increasing demand while providing 24x7 availability. Our integrated data center solutions ensure reliable power supply, transparent power distribution, optimization of operations by 24/7 monitoring, and maximum business continuity by ensuring end-to-end security.

The automotive industry is the technological trendsetter among manufacturing industries. The growing number of car models and powertrain technologies asks for flexible production processes, faster commissioning, and efficient manufacturing of new production machines. Automakers can boost productivity and improve production efficiency by leveraging advanced IoT data analytics to quickly monitor essential assets and systems in real-time and minimize unexpected downtime. With a closed-loop comprehensive digital twin, manufactures can use real production data to continuously optimize throughput.

The food and beverage sector faces a range of challenges. Changing demographics, new consumer tastes, quality expectations, evolving regulations, and price constraints, all pressurize profit margins. In this environment, competitive advantage is the number one priority which is to maintain the highest quality with maximum production flexibility and optimal efficiency.

Digital Threads enable Food & Beverage Industry to stay ahead of the curve. It allows companies to create designs to support specific processes and applications in an ideal way for the desired manufacturing process. This leads to more variability in production lines, optimization of the use-case at hand, and usage of modular components with the flexibility to be changed quickly to support several production scenarios.

From long-term timetable construction to train dispatching in real-time, whether planning track works or managing depots: our TPS software solutions coupled with smart reservation and ticketing system from Squills offer infrastructure operators and rail transport companies a wide range of flexible applications to run their operations efficiently.

To address the rising demand in e-commerce, there is requirement of flexible & resilient warehouse management systems that allow enterprises to scale up and scale down in record time. Our Intralogistics portfolio combines the real & digital world that helps warehouse owners to design, simulate and commission products and solutions flexibly with the growing challenges of the industry.

Modern power systems, with higher penetration of renewables, require plants that are flexible and future ready. Addressing the four key aspects of Power on Demand, Start & Stop Performance Solutions, Peak Power & Load Gradients, and Grid Service Solutions, the our Flexibilization solutions help cut emissions up to 5% to achieve climate targets and remain competitive.

Ramping up production in the quantities needed and accelerating clinical trials in the timeframes required to combat pandemics is one of the biggest challenges of the Pharma industry.

Collaborative efforts between pharma players and technology partners like us can lead to much shorter development times for vaccines so they can reach people faster with optimum quality. This goal is met by reducing the number of physical experiments in an automated continuous process optimization. Using simulation models and data science, a virtual plant is created that is used to optimize the process and send predictions and control measures back to the real plant.

In today's fast-changing markets, companies are required to maximize the outcome of their available resources to achieve the highest productivity possible. Transparent and optimized workflows can aid factories and logistics operations in achieving this goal. 

Our data-based approach enables faster decision-making and higher availability. Using Location Intelligence (LI) software, customers can track, monitor, and record inventory during the complete lifecycle. They can also plan production and analyze performance improvement areas to produce more with less resources.

Transport accounts for ~20% of the carbon emissions worldwide. Our solutions such as eMobility-as-a-service (eMaaS) and Charging Infrastructure-as-a-Service (CI-aaS) support transportation and logistics providers in meeting their sustainability goals. These models offer low total cost of ownership and optimize energy consumption, uptime, fleet utilization, and manpower.

To further contribute to net zero globally, mass adoption of electric vehicles is a key lever. Lack of charging infrastructure is one of the major challenges which needs to be resolved in time. With our solutions & services for Mobility decarbonization at Siemens, we can help companies in developing charging infrastructure at scale. Siemens has partnered with Ashok Leyland and Switch Mobility to provide sustainable and innovative solutions for the charging infrastructure for their e-bus services.

Waste Heat Recovery Solutions (WHRS) plays an important role in an industrial plant by reducing the amount of fuel used to produce heat in a boiler installation thereby increasing the heating efficiency and lowering the fuel usage. Siemens’ tailor-made WHRS solution help in capturing maximum waste heat from industrial manufacturing processes. This recovery replaces ~33% plant electricity requirement from fossil sources (primarily coal) which is a prominent ingredient in the manufacturing process. This energy replacement (with no additional fuel requirement) results in cost-saving as well as significantly reduces carbon footprint which eventually contributes to sustainability and profitability of the industrial plants.

G-Avatar is a powerful visualization of what our solutions and technologies can do and demonstrates our commitment to sustainability in our manufacturing facilities and offices around the world. It is a cloud-based, integrated real estate asset management solution that can monitor multiple KPIs from thousands of data points, aiding in predictive maintenance. This digital solution, with high levels of connectivity and data transparency, covers power consuming components across the globe – solar, water, power & air compressors. Managing facilities better helps reducing energy wastage and achieve sustainability goals.
