Industry Automation and Drive Technologies

Siemens Industry Automation & Drive Technologies (IA&DT), a leading provider in industrial automation worldwide, offers a wide range of innovative, reliable, efficient and high quality products, systems, solutions and services, in manufacturing automation, process automation, electrical installation for buildings and electronics assembly systems, based on its unique concepts of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) and Totally Integrated Power (TIP). IA&DT's products and services are widely applied in steel, machinery, metals, food, beverage, packing, automotive, power, petrochemical, as well as aerospace and astronautics industries.

In early 2007, Siemens signed a contract with Sinopec on providing Discrete Control Systems in the latter's Qingdao Refinery Project. The project is Sinopec's first large single-series unit with 10-million-ton refining capacity. It is also the first time that Siemens control systems are adopted in Sinopec's mega project. In 2008, IA&DT signed a one-billion-yuan framework contract with Baoding Tianwei Wind Power Technology Co., Ltd. for winergy products. For the first time the full range of IA&DT products are applied in China's winergy industry. IA&DT will provide gearbox, generator, converter and busbar to the customer, who will get world-class wind turbine drive-chain system. After the smooth integration of UGS, world-leading provider of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software and services, Siemens has become the first supplier in industry to offer integrated software and hardware solutions throughout their whole production process. This has laid solid technical foundation for its TIA-based concept Digital Factory. Together with constant innovations, Siemens IA&DT will further help customers increase productivity and production flexibility, shorten their time-to-market and lower the costs.

 
 

Industry Solutions

Siemens Industry Solutions (IS) is the systems and solutions integrator for plant business, and covers everything from planning and construction, to operation and maintenance over a plant's entire life-cycle. IS has the process know-how for increasing the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises in various industries, and meets the need for environmentally compatible solutions with its water processing and raw material processing systems.

In 2008, IS strengthened its solid No. 1 position in China's metal and paper industries. Siemens received the order from Baosteel for the supply of the second COREX C-3000 plant shortly after the successful start-up of the first COREX plant in Baosteel. The COREX technology is a proven economical and environmentally-friendly alternative to the conventional blast furnace technology. Three months before the beginning of the 2008 Games, IS started up a waste water reuse system at Beixiaohe Waste Water Treatment Plant – a project serves to increase the capacity of the plant by 60,000 m3 per day and is the largest of its kind in the world. The plant is equipped with leading-edge Siemens' Membrane Bio Reactor (MBR) technology which integrates innovative membranes technology and conventional waste water treatment technology. The treated effluent water will meet high quality standards and be directly utilized as water for scenic lakes and fountains of Olympic Village, more importantly it will pose no danger to the human population. In 2008, IS received an order from Hainan Jinhai Pulp & Paper Industry Co., Ltd., China to supply all the drives and electrical equipment for paper machine PM2. As of May 2009, the new paper machine will produce around one million metric tons of graphic paper per year. This makes it the largest machine of its kind in the world.

 
 

Building Technology

Siemens Building Technologies (BT) provides total building solutions designed to achieve high productivity by ensuring safety and comfort in a secure environment and reducing maintenance costs during the life cycle of the building. BT's products, systems and services include building automation systems for controlling heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, products and solutions for electrical installation technology, fire safety as well as comprehensive security solution.

Building Technologies was awarded the National Aquatics Center ELV Project of the 2008 Games to provide Water Cube with the complete extra-low-voltage infrastructure – comprising the building automation and management, fire alarm and control systems. The total solution can minimize energy consumption and workload while improving reliability, comfort and flexibility. In April 2008, BT signed contract with Yangpu District Government for the energy efficiency project for its government building. The successful signing of the project - the first energy performance contracting project for BT - has shown that BT has turned the huge energy market potential into solid project opportunities.
