Siemens Industry, Inc.
Company Overview The objective of this course is to provide a high-level overview
of those products of Siemens Industry, Inc. (SII) which are sold
by our channel partners and fall into the following categories:
low voltage power distribution, motors, control, drives, and
industrial automation. It is beyond the scope of this course to
cover all SII products. For more information on SII products, refer
to the Siemens Industry, Inc. web site.
Before discussing Siemens Industry, Inc. products, it is useful to
briefly discuss our parent company, Siemens AG, and how SII
fits into the Siemens worldwide business structure.
Siemens AG is a leading supplier of electrical and electronic
equipment and associated services worldwide. From the initial
Siemens company, founded in 1847, Siemens has grown
become one of the largest companies with employees in 190
countries, including about 70,000 employees in the U.S.
Siemens AG offers a broad range of products and services
in the following four business sectors: Energy, Healthcare,
Infrastructure & Cities, and Industry.
Siemens AG is headquartered in Berlin and Munich and operates
in most countries through regional cluster organizations. In the
United States, Siemens has a number of operating companies,
such as SII, that each focus on a portion of the total Siemens
portfolio of products and services.
In order to help you better understand SII’s low voltage power
distribution products, motors, control, drives, and industrial
automation, this course looks at where many of these products
fit in the flow of energy in sample residential, commercial, and
industrial applications. Keep in mind that the flow of energy
from the electric utility is discussed only briefly in this course
because utility power generation, transmission, and high-
voltage distribution products and services are the responsibility
of Siemens Energy sector companies.
