Industrial engineering – increasing productivity, efficiency, and flexibility

Faster, better, and economical production – improved process management through the intelligent linkage of industrial software with process automation and custom solutions for diverse industries is the key to success.

African economies show positive growth, with booming industrial activities. As one of Africa’s leading suppliers of innovative, environment-friendly products and solutions, Siemens supports industrial productivity and industrial engineering. By tapping into our local and global technological expertise and providing industrial services, we strive to create sustainable value for our customers.

Productivity and energy efficiency go hand in hand and ensure a significant competitive advantage. Solid market expertise, technology-based services, and software for industrial processes are the tools we provide for increasing our customers’ productivity, efficiency, and flexibility in a sustainable way. Siemens’ integrated solutions reduce energy consumption over a product’s lifecycle, reduce energy costs, and ensure a fast return on investment.

In many booming African industries, including the metals, cement, water, and mining industry our products and technical expertise in industrial engineering have been in great demand. For example, Africa’s largest copper mine, Equinox Minerals Lumwana Mine in Zambia, recently received medium-voltage industrial drives for pumping applications from Siemens.

Providing clean water is a major challenge for African industries and countries. Here Siemens is playing a significant role, for example, providing switchgears to the Kaduna State Ministry of Water Resources in Nigeria. Siemens automation helped manage the Komati Water Scheme Augmentation project in South Africa, and Siemens automation is a key solution for water treatment and distribution in several Moroccan cities.
