Siemens building technologies to be integrated across the Expo 2020 Dubai site, powered by and integrated into MindSphere
137 buildings will be connected via cloud-based energy analytics platform; one of the world's largest installations of Siemens Navigator
Buildings in three Thematic Districts will be digitalized with smart building management system, Desigo CC
Digitalized infrastructure will support Expo 2020 Dubai in meeting Sustainability, comfort, safety and security targets
Dubai is on its way to creating one of the most connected and sustainable World Expos in history, as Siemens begins one of the world's largest installations of its building technologies at Expo 2020 Dubai.
The digital solutions will connect, monitor and control buildings across the site with MindSphere, the cloud-based operating system for the Internet of Things, powering the collection and analysis of data for intelligent decision-making and actions. The smart technologies will support Expo 2020 Dubai's targets for energy efficiency, comfort, safety and security.
Siemens – Expo 2020's Infrastructure Digitalization Partner - will deliver a site-wide implementation of its digital building management system Desigo CC, covering each of the Event's Thematic Districts (Mobility, Opportunity and Sustainability), their respective pavilions and the Dubai Exhibition Centre.
The system will use sensors and analytics to monitor and control building functions in all three Districts including air conditioning, energy usage, lighting control, elevators, air quality and fire alarm systems.
The data from these systems will be managed by a command and control center in each Thematic District to reduce energy usage, ensure the comfort of building users and maintain maximum levels of safety and security.
Data will also be fed to Siemens Navigator, a central overarching cloud-based management platform. Connecting 137 buildings from a single site, it will be one of the world's largest installations of the cloud system, giving operators visibility of the whole site and using data analytics to monitor energy usage during the Expo. With MindSphere powering the digital infrastructure, data from multiple sensors, gateways, systems and applications will be integrated, correlated, analyzed and visualized to allow intelligent actions to be taken.
"Expo 2020 Dubai is building the most digitalized, connected Expo in the Event's 167-year history, and we will support this with data-driven infrastructure for sustainability, safety and security," said Markus Strohmeier, Senior Executive Vice President of the Building Technologies Division, Siemens Middle East.
"With more than 25 million visitors expected, Expo 2020 Dubai is the largest event ever staged in the Arab world, and a global benchmark of how smart infrastructure will form the foundation of our future cities. I'm proud that Siemens is playing a major role in digitalizing this internationally significant event.
