Siemens AG, a global technology powerhouse, announced a significant strategic reorganization of its automation business, effective October 1, 2026. Rainer Brehm has been appointed as the President of the newly established Automation unit, reporting directly to Cedrik Neike, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and CEO Digital Industries. This move is a crucial component of Siemens' overarching "ONE Tech Company" strategy, designed to streamline operations and enhance support for its industrial customers worldwide. The new Automation unit will consolidate four existing business units: Customer Services, Factory Automation, Motion Control, and Process Automation. By unifying these diverse segments, Siemens aims to create a more integrated and agile structure, enabling the company to better respond to the evolving needs of industrial clients. The goal is to help these customers build production systems that are more flexible, productive, and resilient in an increasingly complex global landscape. Siemens emphasizes its leadership in industrial AI, leveraging deep domain expertise to apply artificial intelligence, including generative AI, to real-world industrial applications. This integration makes AI more accessible and impactful across various industries. The reorganization underscores Siemens’ commitment to driving digital and sustainability transformations, ultimately making factories more efficient, cities more livable, and transportation more sustainable. The company’s purpose, "creating technology to transform the everyday, for everyone," is clearly reflected in this strategic realignment to strengthen its core automation capabilities.
