Software and systems

IT security

Simulation- driven virtual engineering

Autonomous systems

Human- machine

collaboration

Industrial Internet of

Things

‒ We connect the real and virtual worlds. We continuously

improve our ability to translate signals from field

sensors into meaningful data, to enhance these data

with design information and to provide valuable

information to system designers and operators.

‒ Such digital services offer our customers higher or even

guaranteed availability, among other things

‒ Handling data in a secure and confidential manner

is a major prerequisite for this

‒ A digital twin of a real-world system throughout its

lifecycle allows us to simulate and optimize it before and

after commissioning. This reduces the need for time-

consuming and costly prototype construction

‒ Autonomous systems solve complex tasks in uncertain

environments and safely interact with humans

‒ The industrial Internet of Things spans all stages of

industrial production. Products and systems generate

data, communicate with each other, and acquire new

functionalities even when already in use



Our focal points: Electrification and electronics –

Securing our traditional businesses and tackling new markets

‒ Increasing in system expertise

to understand requirements for future

energy supply

‒ Ensuring innovations in traditional

fields, e.g. power electronics

‒ Expanding in decentralized power

Our focal points: University relations –

Overcoming groupthink and tapping potential

‒ We network with leading universities

and non-university research institutes

around the world

‒ With Open Innovation, we strengthen

Siemens’ innovative power and

tap the potential of a networked,

open company

‒ We link the industrial and academic

worlds and thus promote intensive

research and recruiting activities

‒ Our collaboration with nine top

universities and the “Centers of

Knowledge Interchange” (CKIs)

that we set up there exemplify

this effort

HW and SW engineering that

consistently offers development

services on a global scale, and at

best cost, to our Siemens-internal

customers

‒ ~90% of our resources are located

near-shore (Eastern Europe) or off-

shore (India, China)

‒ We support Siemens’ efforts to drive

digitalization. As part of this work, we

are playing a key role in the

development of MindSphere,

Concrete examples of our work

With our innovations and technologies,

we set standards for existing and future

markets, so that Siemens can remain

successful over the long term.

Concrete examples show how Corporate

Technology contributes to this.



Concrete examples of our work –

The future of the energy system and electrically powered flight

Thanks to complex simulation models, we can analyze for the first

time how power will be generated, transmitted and distributed

in a future when 60 percent to 80 percent will come from millions of

decentralized regenerative energy sources – and what this mean

for the energy markets.

Flight with hybrid-electric drives uses 25 percent less fuel and

significantly reduces CO2 emissions and aircraft noise. That is why

we have developed an electric motor with a weight of 50 kilograms

and a continuous output of 260 kilowatts. In a partnership with Airbus,

we are working to enable planes designed for 60 to 90 passengers to

fly with hybrid-electric propulsion systems – a revolution in aviation.

Core elements for the success of digitalization

We have extended the concept of the Internet of Things for industrial

applications: A digitally networked world full of devices that are

connected to the Internet impacts how we control factories

or critical infrastructures. The industrial Internet of Things makes

these interactions reliable, safe and durable. In addition, it can be

used to “digitally toughen up” existing plants.

The next step in 3D printing could be something called mobile

manufacturing. Siemens researchers in Princeton, New Jersey have

developed spider-like prototype robots that can work collaboratively

to print structures and surfaces, thus potentially accelerating

production of large-scale, complex structures such as the fuselages

of planes and the hulls of ships.

Spare parts you can print yourself and networked batteries

Siemens has achieved a breakthrough in the 3D printing of gas

turbine blades. For the first time, a team of experts has full-load

tested gas turbine blades that were entirely produced using additive

manufacturing. Over the course of several months, Siemens

engineers from Lincoln, Berlin and Finspong worked with experts

from Materials Solutions to optimize the gas turbine blades and

their production.

Storage technologies are vital if both the transition to a new energy

mix and global decarbonization are to succeed. As more and more

electricity from fluctuating renewable sources flows through power

lines, grids will have to become increasingly flexible to prevent

blackouts. Researchers from Siemens Corporate Technology are

developing solutions.
