Innovation

What technology really achieves

Siemens AG has always been a company of inventors and patents. Werner von Siemens (1816-1892)—the brilliant inventor and visionary entrepreneur of the second half of the nineteenth century—not only gave significant impulses to the then infant electrical engineering, but also—at the same time—decisively advanced the development of the industry. Nowadays, Siemens makes seven thousand inventions each year, and a patent is applied for two thirds of them. The Siemens AG Group alone runs eleven research and development centers located throughout the world.
When it comes to product development, one always has to find the golden path between innovation at the right time and with the right means. To be of benefit to our customers, an innovation always has to function reliably and be available at a competitive market price.
Our leading position in placement technology, postal automation, logistics automation and solutions for airports and airlines results from the factor that motivates us and improves our technology: innovation.
