Siemens has presented awards to its 12 leading innovators with a focus on AI and sustainability.

www.eenewseurope.com, Dec. 16, 2023 – 

Each year, Siemens presents the Inventors of the Year award to outstanding inventors in six categories: Newcomers, Open Innovation, Outstanding Invention, Lifetime Achievement, Design and User Experience and the recently added PhD Award.

The company spends €6.2 billion on research and development and published 5,383 inventions in fiscal 2023, amounting to around 24 inventions every working day.

Since the European Unitary Patent was launched in June 2023, the European Patent Office has received over 12,000 applications for this type of patent – the majority of which came from Siemens.

In addition to helping explain artificial intelligence (AI), the prize-winning inventions also make power grids more sustainable, railcar axles more stable and charging stations for electric vehicles more universal. The 2023 award will be presented today to twelve Inventors of the Year from the U.S., the UK, China, India, Kazakhstan and Germany.

"Our innovations are our strength and the best way to predict the future of Siemens," said Peter Körte, Chief Technology Officer at Siemens. "We firmly believe that AI has the potential to revolutionize our work and the way we manufacture products. We already play a leading role in generating industrial artificial intelligence. The AI we create is responsible, comprehensible and trustworthy."

Abhijit Kadam has developed a procedure for adapting charging electronics to a vehicle's requirements. What makes his invention so special isn't just the fact that all cars can be charged at the same charging station. It's also that when the charging voltage is adapted in the DC-DC converter, there is zero switching loss, making his procedure especially energy-efficient.
