Siemens Vietnam and AIT Corporation unveil SIVACON S8: Driving digitalization and shaping Vietnam's energy future

Being manufactured in Vietnam, SIVACON S8 is tailored for high-end customers across diverse sectors, including Data Centers, Aviation & Ports, LNG Power, High-Speed Rail, Energy, and Industrial applications. The product exemplifies Siemens and AIT’s dedication to sustainable development, delivering outstanding features such as comprehensive digitalization, maximum safety, and a reliable, efficient power supply.

"We are very pleased to witness the fruit of the cooperation between Siemens and AIT, just 8 months after the technology transfer. This is a testament to the rapid, effective implementation capability and strong commitment of both sides, while showcasing the ability of local expertise in applying state-of-the-art technology from Germany”, stated Dr. Pham Thai Lai, CEO of Siemens ASEAN & Vietnam at the event.

Further enriching the event, a Siemens Digital Industries expert presented on the transformative power of Siemens Simcenter, digital twin technology, and simulation. These advanced tools are crucial for optimizing energy efficiency in next-generation data centers, a sector facing increasing demands from AI and cloud computing. Digital Twin technology creates virtual replicas for comprehensive analysis and optimization, while Simcenter simulation capabilities enable detailed modelling and thermal analysis. This integrated approach leads to significant benefits, including up to 38% energy savings, 24% cost reduction, and achieving impressive Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) benchmarks. These innovations are vital for Vietnamese data centers to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and build sustainable digital infrastructure, aligning with global sustainability mandates.

Alongside the SIVACON S8 launch, AIT Corp and Siemens hosted the seminar "Driving Energy Transition and Future of Vietnam’s Energy Landscape," which brought together key stakeholders from government, industry, and energy sectors. Discussions centered on the opportunities and challenges presented by the energy transition in the digital era, with particular focus on the recently adjusted National Power Development Plan VIII (for 2021–2030). Participants explored strategies to ensure national energy security, attract vital investment in energy infrastructure, and secure clean energy sources to align with Vietnam’s ambitious commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The seminar highlighted the collective efforts required to foster a stable and sustainable electricity supply, crucial for the nation's continued economic growth and digital transformation.

“Siemens remains committed to supporting Vietnam's socio-economic development and its digital transformation journey. By providing innovative solutions like SIVACON S8 and fostering strategic partnerships with Vietnamese companies such as AIT Corp, Siemens is actively contributing to a more sustainable, efficient, and resilient energy future for the country”, emphasized Dr. Pham Thai Lai.
