Industry Sector

Siemens was chosen by one of the leading Taiwan liquid crystal display (LCD) manufacturers to provide products and systems for the facility management control system of the state-of-the-art fab(fabrication facility). Penetration of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) market continued via successful solution developments for various applications, such as the 1- and 2-axis press feeder, paper packing/folding/log saw machines and automotive assembly equipments. 

Siemens also helped Taiwan's machine tool builders to enter a niche market for highly complex machines. Its cooperation with the MOEA (Ministry of Economic Affairs) further confirmed Siemens’ determination to support the development of Taiwan's machine tool industry. The project, namely the A+ R&D Center, will encourage academia, research institutes and vocational centers to build a machine tool talent pool for Taiwan. In Taiwan's fast growing Photovoltaic (PV) Industry, Siemens continued a success story as it was awarded the first large-scale Polysilicon project of a major Taiwan polysilicon manufacturer.

Siemens helped ADImmune Corporation meet the requirements of validation for 21 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR), Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S), and Good Automation Manufacturing Practice (GAMP) 4 through Siemens' total solutions. Among the 11 countries in the world with abilities to produce the H1N1 vaccines, the ADImmune vaccine plant is the biggest one in Asia - with a maximum annual capacity of 30 million doses of vaccine, and the only one to meet international standards in Taiwan.

Siemens is providing building automation and fire safety solutions to the Taoyuan International Airport Access MRT Construction Project.  It will improve the access traffic service for the Airport, connect major transportation hubs and build a close link between international airlines and local transportation systems.  After the full operation of Kaohsiung Metro in September 2008, Siemens is providing the after-sales services to KRTC (Kaohsiung Rapid Transit Corp) to ensure a smooth operation.  Siemens also has various “Green Mobility” solutions for the upcoming projects to meet the increasing demands on energy saving.

Siemens had significant follow-up orders in the steel making & rolling area and an order by a Kaohsiung shipbuilding company. Siemens Marine Solutions convinced this new customer of its diesel-electric propulsion and energy systems for a 5.8 MVA total power research vessel. The scope includes system integration of diesel engines and a super-silent DC propulsion drive coupled to an efficient AC propulsion main drive.

Energy Sector

Siemens was awarded a contract to offer solutions to Taiwan Power Company's (TPC) Kuosheng Nuclear Power Plant to provide new low pressure steam turbine inner casing and rotors, which will increase efficiency of this power plant by generating more power with same fuel consumption. Siemens was also awarded an eight-year contract "Parts and Service Supply Agreement" (PSSA) for TPC's Nan Pu and Hsinta Power Plants. This contract will ease administrative efforts for TPC and enable Siemens to optimize long term planning for material needs, which results in benefits for both parties.

Siemens provided a power supply system to Taiwan's largest steel group--China Steel Corporation (CSC).  The awarded contract provides CSC with 161 & 33/11 kilovolts (kV) gas insulated switchgear (GIS) and SCADA system. In addition, Siemens signed a deal with Dragon Steel Corporation (DSC) on the Hot-Strip Mill project, which includes 122 panels of 33/11kV switchgear, over 50 km of medium-voltage cable, 140 protection relays and the SCADA system.

Healthcare Sector

Siemens has outperformed Taiwan healthcare market with a compound annual growth rate over the last three years and proved its strong foothold in Taiwan as it signed a contract with Taiwan's famous cardiac center--Cheng Hsin Rehabilitation Medical Center for 15 systems including Artis zee family systems & Ultrasound systems and the first magnetic navigation system for interventional cardiology solution. Another contract was awarded from Lin Shin Hospital, a well-known regional teaching hospital in central Taiwan, to supply the latest Siemens healthcare solutions such as SOMATOM Definition AS +, Artis zee biplane system, MAGNETOM Essenza 1.5T, Symbia E, Biograph 16 & MAMMOMAT Novation DR. Siemens also involved local social and charitable activities, such as sponsoring the SONOLINE G40 ultrasound system to Puli Christian Hospital to support the health check for the victims of typhoon Morakot.
