Answers for Infrastructure - Siemens

Intelligent, integrated infrastructuresolutions create comfort, energyefficiency and security.The character of a building is shaped by external factors such as its location,its architecture and the materials of which it is made. What is lessapparent and yet just as influential are the inner values. It is the technicalinfrastructure, perfectly adapted to the building‘s individual needs andbusiness processes by Siemens, that creates its essential character. Whetherit is an industrial complex, an airport, a hospital, a hotel or a stadium, thevision for the building comes from its constructors and architects, while thedepth comes from Siemens.*Total Building Solutions (TBS),intelligently integrated allroundsolutions for technicalinfrastructure.Intelligent buildings are on the rise.The more seamlessly the technical infrastructurefunctions, the greater the productivityand profitability of the business.This is why building technology is no longermerely a silent partner but an operationalelement within the company, playing anever more significant role in helping it toachieve its targets. If the building technologyfunctions reliably, employees are freeto get on with their work more efficientlyand with more enthusiasm. Our clients aretherefore free to concentrate on their corebusiness, giving them a real competitiveadvantage.Intrusiondetection,videosurveillanceBuildingautomationFire protection,evacuation,extinguishingTBS*Electrical installationtechnologyHeating,ventilation,air conditioning,HVACAccess control,identificationsystemsTotal Building Solutions (TBS) makebuildings more productive.The intelligence of the technical infrastructureincreases with the degree of integration.The more systems and componentsare designed to work together and themore intensively they communicatewith each other, the higher the levels ofcomfort, protection and security in thebuilding:Employers provide more security fortheir workforce and more protection forbusiness processes if their fire protectionsystem is networked with theventilation management system,or if the fire detectors are linked to theopening-and-closing system for doorsin the access control system,or if the lighting is coupled with thealarm system.This is why there is such a strong trendtowards the harmonization of buildingand information technology. Siemens usesEthernet/IP, Web and control systems basedon client/server architectures to further thecoexistence of the two technologies. Thisgreatly increases the comfort, protectionand security of both people and properties.8
