Peter Koerte says about 30 to 40 percent of all electricity used today goes into buildings.
“About thirty to 40% of all the electricity that we're using today goes into buildings.”
Siemens launched a building application that it says saves 30% of the energy bill and reduces greenhouse gases by 30%.
“We just launched an application that saves 30% of your energy bill, and therefore reduces greenhouse gases by 30%.”
Peter Koerte says customers share proprietary data only if Siemens can show an incremental benefit from using its model.
“customers are only willing to share that data if we are able to express an incremental benefit of when they use our model, then they in return share the data with us.”
Peter Koerte says Siemens models can predict train door failures ten days before they happen.
“our models can predict any door failure ten days prior of its failures.”
Peter Koerte says the most critical train component for operations is the doors rather than the brakes, because doors open and shut at every station.
“it turns out it's the doors.”
Peter Koerte says that over a train's roughly thirty-year life, the purchase investment is about 10% of total cost of ownership and operations are about 90%.
“the train in terms of capex, so the investment, is about 10% of the TCO, 90% is operations.”
Siemens has AI that advises how to accelerate and decelerate trains to save energy.
“we have AI that helps you to think about how to accelerate and decelerate or break that train in order to save energy.”
Peter Koerte says Siemens does not own customer data but uses it under data sharing agreements to train models for those customers' purposes.
“We don't own the data. It's important. It's still our customers data, but we can use it and train our models for their purposes.”
Peter Koerte says Siemens has about 10 billion euros in digital sales and is the leader in industrial software.
“Siemens is the leader in industrial software, so we are about 10 billion euros of digital sales.”
Peter Koerte says Siemens and NVIDIA aim to cut a car air-drag fluid dynamics simulation from eight hours to minutes.
“instead of waiting eight hours for a complex computational fluid dynamic simulation, let's say of the air drag on a car, instead of eight hours, we can reduce that to minutes.”
Peter Koerte says verifying chip designs becomes enormously complex as chips shrink to two nanometers and below, so Siemens uses AI to help verify them.
“As we get to lower, lower nanometers, two nanometers and and less, the complexity of verifying those chip designs is enormous.”
Siemens announced its AI acceleration examples for design and manufacturing with NVIDIA at CES.
“these are kind of examples that we have announced also at CES earlier this year with NVIDIA.”
Peter Koerte says AI work is about 20% technology and 80% transformation of processes and people.
“AI is about 20% is technology and 80% is actually transformation.”
Peter Koerte says a major new electric vehicle manufacturer told him its attrition rate among blue-collar workers is 35%.
“their churn rate, so the attrition of their blue collar workers, is 35%.”
Peter Koerte says the United States is already missing at least 2 million workers for shop floors.
“we're missing at least 2 million people in the workforce in the United States already today, uh, to get them on the shop floor.”
Peter Koerte says humanoid robots have limited payload and are slow today, which makes them poor for heavy material handling.
“humanoids are quite slow if you look at them, at least today.”
Peter Koerte says up to 30% of a humanoid robot's energy goes to staying upright.
“up to 30% of the energy consumed in a humanoid is just to making sure that you're standing upright.”
