Siemens and Microsoft: Revolution in the IoT for sustainable buildings!
Siemens and Microsoft: Revolution in the IoT for sustainable buildings!
In an exciting development, Siemens and Microsoft announced on July 7, 2025 a cooperation that should significantly improve interoperability in the area of the Internet of Things (IoT) for buildings. The aim of this collaboration is to optimize access to IoT data for different building types. The two technology giants are with open standards such as opc ua and w3c Thing description to enable IoT data.
Thanks to this partnership, the integration effort is reduced by astonishing 80 percent. This should result in the operating processes in commercial properties, data centers and educational institutions can be made much more efficient and sustainable. In this way, important data points such as temperature, pressure and air quality can not only be transferred to the cloud more easily, but can also be monitored automatically. This progress will enable customers to develop individually adapted applications, for example to optimize energy consumption and use of space.
Practical advantages for companies
How exactly does the whole thing work? Companies will be able to connect devices to the cloud with just one click, which not only simplifies the onboarding process, but also offers additional flexibility in IoT architecture. The solution will come onto the market in the second half of 2025 and promise to enable customers to control better control over their building data.
An essential aspect of this technology is that it is not limited to a single provider ecosystem. This means that Siemens' hardware and software can be integrated independently, which is a great advantage for many companies because they are not tied to a single provider. This represents an important step towards promoting compatibility and interoperability.
an industry in change
This initiative comes at a time when the topic of digitization in the construction industry experiences an enormous upswing. Companies such as Miele and Bühler , which work with Microsoft to optimize their production and operating processes through the use of OPC UA and Azure. These companies impressively show how disruptive technologies can be used in production in order to significantly increase efficiency and sustainability.
In summary, it can be said that the cooperation between Siemens and Microsoft is not only important for the two companies, but also for the entire industry, which deals with intelligent buildings and sustainable infrastructure. Siemens Smart Infrastructure, with a team of around 78,500 employees worldwide, positions itself as a pioneer in the support of digital change and actively contributes to solving challenges about urbanization and climate change. For the future we look forward to the market launch of the new solution, which will certainly bring some exciting developments.| Details | |
