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|
