Siemens Smart Infrastructure announces latest IoT offering “Electrification X”
- April 18, 2024
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has launched Electrification X, a highly scalable Internet-of-Things (IoT) SaaS offering to transform electrification infrastructure.
Electrification X is the latest SaaS and IoT portfolio of Siemens Xcelerator, developed by Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
Building X, the scalable and digital building platform, was the inaugural offering introduced in 2022 as part of Siemens Xcelerator. Following that, Gridscale X, Siemens’ advanced grid management software, was announced in February 2024. Electrification X now completes the trio, further expanding Siemens’ commitment to innovative technology in the electrification sector.
Built on highly scalable cloud services, Electrification X is designed to manage, optimize, and automate the challenged electrification infrastructure of commercial, industrial and utility customers, improving efficiency and performance while reducing costs and CO2 emissions.
“Our vision is to make our world more sustainable by driving the electrification of everything,” said Matthias Rebellius, Managing Board Member of Siemens AG and CEO of Smart Infrastructure. “Digitalization sits at the heart of enabling that vision and with the addition of Electrification X to the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, we are making it easier than ever before for companies to digitally transform their electrification infrastructure, faster and at scale.”
Electrification X offerings from Siemens will be showcased for the very first time at its booth in Hall 9 at Hannover Messe from 22 – 26 April.
As a part of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform to accelerate digital transformation and value creation, Electrification X software is developed with the core design principles of interoperability, flexibility, openness, availability as a service, and with the highest level of cybersecurity.
At launch, the Electrification X offering comprises Load Management, Network Fault Management, Asset Management, Sustainability Energy Management, and OT Companion. Combining the real world with the digital worlds, these applications will help renewable generators, transmission system operators (TSOs), distribution system operators (DSOs), industries and infrastructure customers to improve productivity, reliability, asset utilization, energy efficiency, and sustainable innovation.
