Siemens Technology for Beijing : GlobalGiants.com
China‘s capital is preparing for the 2008 Summer Olympics, with an eye to mobility and environmentally friendly solutions. Athletes and spectators who travel to Beijing in 2008 will move through a world full of Siemens technology. The Siemens baggage transport system at the city‘s new airport will be more than 50 kilometers long. And Siemens will be supplying the new Number 10 subway line, which connects the Olympics sites with the city center and other subway lines, with a train control system, signaling, security and communications systems, and onboard components for the 34 trains. This will result in very short intervals between successive trains and fast adaptability to passenger volumes. High-speed trains based on the Siemens Velaro platform will whisk passengers to Tianjin, 100 kilometers from Beijing, for several Olympic events. Because the engines, brakes and transformers are mounted under the trains, there‘s 25 percent more space for passengers and lower maintenance costs. Siemens is also providing stadium infrastructure at several sports venues and building technology at hotels. Even Beijing‘s water is purified by Siemens; for example, the Bei Xiaohe wastewater plant treats 100,000 cubic meters of wastewater daily, thanks to ultramodern membrane bioreactor technology from Siemens. The project is the biggest of its kind in the world. In 2008, the plant will also provide reclaimed water for the swimming pools and other facilities in the Olympic Park. In addition, Siemens is supplying efficient and resource-saving automation and drives technology for industrial plants like the Taiyuan Iron & Steel Company plant southwest of Beijing. When completed this year, the Taiyuan plant will be the largest facility of its kind in the world. |GlobalGiants.com|

Siemens Technology for New York : GlobalGiants.com
New York already had a population of more than 12 million 50 years ago, and was thus the first city in the world to qualify as a megacity. To keep the “Big Apple“ fresh and fit for the future, the city‘s infrastructure is currently being comprehensively overhauled. For example, Siemens is modernizing New York‘s century-old subway system by installing the most sophisticated train control and management system of its kind, which will make it possible to monitor the position of each of the system‘s 540 trains in real time. A radio-operated train control system will make sure the trains‘ operation is reliable and punctual. Siemens is also playing an important role in ensuring a safe supply of drinking water. It is delivering the equipment and the system solutions for a wastewater purification plant that is part of a billion-dollar program for protecting New York‘s water catchment areas. And even the city‘s famous skyline is full of Siemens technology: Numerous public buildings such as Madison Square Garden, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and the New York Stock Exchange are equipped with automation and lighting systems from Siemens. Similar Siemens solutions can be found in many corporate and governmental buildings, investment banks, insurance and media companies, hotels and university campuses. Solutions from Siemens are being used at JFK, LaGuardia and Newark airports for facility automation, some of the safety technology, runway lighting and smooth baggage handling. Several New York hospitals are now also using the Soarian workflow management system to streamline their procedures. At the Jacobi Medical Center, RFID chips that store the patients‘ identification data help to ensure optimal treatment. Siemens is also building a healthcare network with the help of renowned clinics such as the Mount Sinai Medical Center and 45 other facilities. The healthcare cards of 100,000 patients make up the core of the system. |GlobalGiants.com|
