56 Use the power of Siemens
Unleash the strengths of
82 an integrated technology company
A pioneer of the age of electricity: in 1878, Bavaria’s King Ludwig II
commissioned the construction of
the world’s first electric power station –
only twelve years after Werner von Siemens’ discovery
of the dynamo-electric principle.
Vision
To be a pioneer – this is our vision, our identity and the
defining characteristic of our corporate culture. This vi-
sion is based on our values – responsible, excellent and
innovative – which provide the foundation for our suc-
cess. Together with these values, our strategy and the
One Siemens framework, it also defines our business
goals and specifies a clear direction for our develop-
ment.
We’re tackling the challenges of our time – just as we
did when Werner von Siemens founded our Company
over 160 years ago. This commitment is an expression
of our pioneering spirit. For us, being a pioneer means
more than just fostering invention. It means embarking
on new paths, forging ahead into uncharted territory
and continually blazing new trails by developing and
marketing innovative products and solutions that meet
our customers’ needs. And it means taking calculated
risks in order to push innovation.
The innovations described below exemplify how we’re
providing answers to the technology questions of to-
morrow:
> Can electric vehicles be charged wirelessly? Work-
ing with experts from BMW, our researchers have de-
veloped a technology for the safe, user-friendly, con-
tact-free charging of vehicle batteries – even during
brief stops. This technology opens up new horizons:
the inconspicuous charging stations can be integrat-
ed into virtually any location, making it easier to use
electric vehicles as intermediate storage devices for
excess power from solar and wind energy sources.
> Can medical equipment be touchlessly controlled
with a wave of the hand? Our technology intends to
enable physicians to operate medical equipment with
simple hand movements, eliminating the need for
touch control. This solution – which not only makes
doctors’ work easier but also decreases the risk of
patient infection – holds great promise for the future.
> What will the wind turbine of the future look like?
More than 9,000 Siemens wind turbines are in opera-
tion around the world today, delivering peak output of
more than 13,000 megawatts. We want to boost their
capacity even further by optimizing their performance
and availability. Our new gearless six-megawatt wind
turbines, which were specially developed for use on
the high seas, weigh only about as much as their con-
ventional counterparts in the two- to three-megawatt
range, giving them a low per-megawatt weight.
They ’re also very maintenance-friendly and extremely
robust. Generating greater output with fewer parts,
these turbines boast substantially higher availability
than their predecessors, making wind power a more
attractive source of electricity than ever before.
These three examples have one thing in common: they
all show how zealously and passionately our employees
are working every day to find practical answers to the
challenges of our time. Their commitment reflects the
pioneering spirit that has been our hallmark since 1847
and that will ensure our success in the future.
