Siemens Helps Companies Become Digital Enterprises

Peter Löffler, vice president of Siemens Smart Infrastructure’s Trends and Industry Affairs unit, describes the role AWS plays in supporting Siemens’ development of cloud-native platforms and applications.

Siemens uses an array of AWS services to bring IIOT to railways and factories, developing intelligent infrastructure for buildings and distributed energy systems, implementing AI into its cybersecurity platform, and more.

Through the metaphactory platform procured from AWS Marketplace, Siemens Energy built and deployed an end-user oriented custom knowledge graph application for managing its fleet of large gas turbines in just six months.

Junelight is one of relatively few Siemens products aimed at individual consumers—an important new segment for Siemens. The company has traditionally focused on business-to-business sales but is increasingly targeting “behind the meter” devices and services like the Junelight system. By using AWS, the SDI team was able to bring Junelight from an idea on a whiteboard to a product in the marketplace in less than two years.
