Siemens opens digitalization center in Abu Dhabi

Siemens has opened a Digital Grid Center in Abu Dhabi, UAE, to advance the digitalization of energy systems in the Middle East, supporting smarter cities and industry.

The center enables Siemens to collaborate with customers in developing, demonstrating and testing digital energy solutions, and provides remote support for the utilities, oil & gas, industrial and infrastructure sectors.

Using lab simulations and live data connections, the Digital Grid Center enables Siemens to remotely provide service and support for customer operations, including preventative and corrective maintenance, simulation and testing.

For example, customers will be able to witness Factory Acceptance Tests conducted abroad without needing to travel, using a live remote monitoring system to ensure equipment is ready to be installed on-site.

"Our energy systems are evolving as decentralization and a diversifying energy mix impose greater complexity on our electricity grids,“ said Franco Atassi, head of Smart Infrastructure for Siemens in the Middle East.

"Managing and protecting these intricate energy systems requires intelligent application of digital technologies, and our Digital Grid Center directly addresses this challenge. We will use the center to support our customers in their digital transformation, working together to develop and implement technology for smarter cities and industries in the Middle East.“
