Pioneer of digitalization

As a global technology powerhouse, pioneer of electrification and leading provider in the field of automation, Siemens ranks among the forerunners of Industry 4.0 and supports digital transformation in large companies as well as in medium-sized enterprises.

In the smart factory which operates digitally from end-to-end – Siemens calls it “Digital Enterprise”– the line between the virtual and real world dissolves. For instance, based on a “digital twin”, products, production processes or entire plants can be simulated, tested and optimised in a completely virtual environment before going into real operation. By collecting and analysing data in-line, they can be permanently monitored and further optimised.

Data evaluation and usage is supported by the MindSphere platform developed by Siemens, which is a cloud-based open operating system for the Internet of Things with applications and data-based services. MindSphere opens up new possibilities in various areas, such as predictive maintenance, energy data management or resource optimisation.

However, Siemens not only offers digital solutions for the smart factory, but also for distributed energy systems, intelligent infrastructures and smart buildings, generating greater efficiency, sustainability and security. For instance, modernising existing power grids and adapting them to future demand situations will be possible with smart grid technologies, while traffic management systems will optimise road and rail transport. Siemens also reduces energy consumption in building complexes via smart controlling.

With branches in Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Freiburg, Mannheim and Ulm and offices in Heilbronn and Constance, Siemens accompanies its customers in Baden-Württemberg locally in a close dialogue, on the path of digital transformation.
