Siemens and Mennekes simplify the planning of EV infrastructure
According to Siemens, the Simaris planning tools support electrical planners dimension the electrical power distribution and determine the required devices such as distribution boards. As a result, planning in the run-up to the installation of charging infrastructure should be simplified. In the future, these tools will include Mennekes charging stations for planning purposes. Both sides described this step as an important signal for the promotion of electric mobility.
“This partnership allows us to offer our customers everything from a single source for fast and easy planning of sustainable e-charging infrastructure. Together we are accelerating the energy transition,” said Stephan May, CEO of Electrification and Automation, Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
Christopher Mennekes, CEO of Mennekes, added: “For years, we have been offering not just customized charging solutions, but also a wide range of services for planners. By partnering with Siemens and integrating our charging infrastructure into Simaris, we are continuing along this path and making day-to-day work easier for planners.”
It is important to note that the cooperation simplifies not the installation itself, but the preceding planning steps for reliable energy distribution. “The Simaris tools enable the automatic design of all components and systems for the e-charging infrastructure, automatically considering relevant standards,” Siemens stated in the press release. The tool creates clear planning documents and specifications for tenders, including budgeting. It also provides BIM (Building Information Modelling) data for smooth data exchange, so that the planning of the charging infrastructure can be taken into account in the digital twin at an early stage. The projects and data from the Simaris tools can also be used across the board and exported and imported.
“We are excited that Mennekes is the first external partner in our Simaris ecosystem, giving customers direct access to their product portfolio. This will make power distribution planning for eMobility infrastructure even simpler,” said Andreas Matthé, CEO of Electrical Products, Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
