Urbanization 2.0 – technology for the challenges of the 21st century

An article by Cedrik Neike, Member of the Siemens Managing Board. As cities and electricity demand constantly grow, efficiency with all its aspects becomes more and more important. It is the future of "Smart Infrastructure“ where buildings and power grids merge together.    

Urbanization 2.0
Introduction

Unlock your city’s and building's potential

Digitalizing your assets unlocks the potential not only for operational transformation but a whole new sphere of digital services.

Digital Cities

Unlock your city’s potential

Digitalization is revolutionizing many industries and its impact on cities will be no different. MindSphere is the cloud-based, open IoT operating system that connects products, plants, systems, and machines across the city allowing you to harness the wealth of data generated by the Internet of Things (IoT) with advanced analytics. By connecting systems and data you can unlock your city’s potential, develop new insights, drive greater efficiency and create new solutions tailored to your needs. 

Digital Buildings

Unlock your building’s potential

Siemens cloud-based, open IoT operating system is connecting the physical infrastructure to the digital world. Sensors in buildings and energy systems share their data on secure cloud regardless of whether they stem from Siemens or a third party. MindSphere analyzes vast data outputs and utilizes intelligent algorithms and applications to optimize sustainable building management. Hereby, these datasets can, for example, be combined with a digital twin of the building and, using applications, analyzed to optimize building operation. This can result in customers’ advantages such as in higher energy and equipment efficiency, better space utilization as well as enhanced user efficiency, comfort and safety.
