Siemens Smart Infrastructure has collaborated with the historic San Juan de Dios Hospital in Seville, Spain, to enhance its operational efficiency using advanced AI technology. With buildings contributing significantly to global carbon emissions, and healthcare facilities under rising financial and sustainability pressures, the transformation comes as a timely endeavour to address these challenges.
At this renowned hospital, Siemens has implemented its AI-based digital building technology, achieving a substantial 35 per cent reduction in operating costs of key assets. This initiative is poised to set a new standard for hospitals globally, emphasizing the importance of integrating smart technologies in healthcare.
Siemens’ AI-powered Building Platform
Through the deployment of the Building X platform and associated digital services, San Juan de Dios Hospital now benefits from a streamlined system that oversees energy and security management alongside Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) automation. This innovative integration promises enhanced operational and energy efficiency for facility managers.
With these solutions, the hospital anticipates a further 10 per cent decrease in operating costs through early fault detection and optimised use of equipment, marking a notable improvement in the hospital's operational efficiency.
Harnessing AI and Interoperable Platforms
María Jesús Pareja, Managing Director at San Juan de Dios Hospital, highlighted the transformative impact, stating, "With Siemens' technology, we have gone beyond simple automation. We now have an intelligent system that coordinates, optimises, and anticipates the functioning of our facilities, improving care quality and the well-being of those around us." Delphine Clément, Global Head of Verticals at Siemens Smart Infrastructure Buildings, added that this advancement sets a global benchmark for hospital digitalisation by leveraging AI and interoperable platforms to simplify operations and enhance resilience while reducing costs.
Integrating Remote Digital Services
In Seville, Siemens has also introduced a digital layer that incorporates remote digital services, including fault detection and diagnostics, via features such as Siemens Siveillance Suite and the Desigo CC building management system. This integration forms part of their Building X platform capabilities.
Operations Manager and Energy Manager tools within the system provide live insights into building performance and energy usage, facilitating smarter decision-making, improved operational efficiency, and tangible sustainability progress.
Digital Building Platform Initiative
The Building X platform represents a digital initiative designed to help customers digitalise, manage, and optimise their building operations. This solution is part of Siemens Xcelerator, a versatile digital business platform that aids in accelerating digital transformation efforts efficiently and at scale.
