In line with the motto “Infinite opportunities from infinite data”, Siemens has organized its own virtual event within the scope of the SPS trade fair: It is the ideal setting to present new products, services, and solutions from its Digital Enterprise portfolio which enable customers from the manufacturing and process industries to respond to ever more rapidly changing market requirements and general conditions. To make this happen, Siemens combines the real and digital worlds. Industrial enterprises can thus leverage the benefits of automation, electrification and digitalization in order to act both flexibly and sustainably while at the same time making extensive use of the data generated. Using this link https://sie.ag/3qZY9iY, interested parties can register for the virtual event, enabling them to discover the topics in a virtual 3D showroom and join the dialog to extend their knowledge. The innovations and highlights on display include: the connection of drives to the Siemens Industrial Edge platform, an industrial 5G router for the control cabinet, as well as a software solution for the simulation of drives. In addition to new spare part management services and solutions and a B2B marketplace for industrial companies, we present an ecosystem-based approach for the exchange of emission data.

In light of the fact that the supply chain accounts for the largest share of the ecological footprint of products, the decarbonization of industry is a challenge which must be tackled by all the stakeholders together. As a leading provider of automation technology and industry software, Siemens has for the first time launched a solution for the efficient query, calculation and transfer of information on the actual Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). SiGreen now makes it possible to exchange emission data along the supply chain and combine it with data from a company’s own value creation in order to obtain a product’s true carbon footprint. To achieve this, Siemens has initiated the open, cross-industry Estainium network with the aim of enabling manufacturers, suppliers, customers and partners to exchange trustworthy PCF data. With SiGreen supporting companies in tracking their Product Carbon Footprint, they can take targeted reduction measures providing a quantifiable effect. CO2 management thus supports companies on their way towards carbon neutral production and helps them to transform sustainability into a decisive competitive edge.

Siemens has achieved further progress toward meeting its sustainability ambitions. At its Capital Market Day in June 2021, the company set itself ambitious environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets with its new strategic framework DEGREE. In its Sustainability Report for fiscal 2021, Siemens has published information today on its progress toward achieving these targets.

The online final of the 15th “Siemens Cup” China Intelligent Manufacturing Challenge (CIMC) concluded today. As a national-level competition jointly organized by Siemens and China’s Ministry of Education (MoE), the competition has been held for 15 consecutive years. Co-organized by the Huzhou Municipal Government of Zhejiang Province for the first time, this year’s competition was held both online and offline. About 17,000 students from almost 700 schools gravitated towards its 36 sub-competition regions nation-wide.

Siemens will participate in the fourth China International Import Expo (CIIE) with the theme “Technology to Transform the Everyday”. In this year’s Expo, the company will showcase successful applications of its innovative digital technologies in intelligent manufacturing, smart infrastructure, smart mobility, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and the vast potential of digital technologies via demonstrative cases co-created with Chinese enterprises. In addition, Siemens will establish a zero-carbon exhibition area at the CIIE for the first time, presenting its recently launched Siemens China Zero-Carbon Pioneer Initiative. This area will demonstrate how Siemens actively practices green and low-carbon development and works with partners to create a green ecosystem in order to build end-to-end zero-carbon industrial chains. Siemens is also launching the Siemens China White Paper on Carbon Neutrality during CIIE. This white paper will share insights into high-level planning, roadmap making, and industry-leading technologies and practices to help key Chinese industries achieve the “dual carbon” goal. Siemens has also announced plans to deepen cooperation with Chinese enterprises in a wide range of industries.

Siemens delivered a stellar performance in fiscal 2021 (end: September 30, 2021), recording a net income of €6.7 billion and thus exceeding its net income guidance. The company reported gains at all four of its Industrial Businesses and across all regions, underscoring its successful transformation into a focused technology company. A continuing complex macroeconomic environment influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing supply chain risks – associated primarily with electronic components and raw materials – were successfully mitigated. Siemens benefited from a considerable economic recovery and continuing growth, particularly in key markets such as automotive, machine building and electronics as well as in most infrastructure-related sectors.

Siemens supplies automation hardware and software to the BMW Group. The automation solution includes, among other things, the new generation of the Sinumerik One CNC control, which offers digital possibilities to increase productivity in production. The new automation portfolio will be used at the Steyr production plant in Austria to produce the electric drive housing. It will also help to transform production for the digital age. Siemens and the BMW Group have a long-standing partnership. The success of both companies is based on driving innovation and developing forward-looking technologies, while at the same time focusing on sustainability.
