Siemens and Mennekes accelerate expansion of eMobility charging infrastructure
- March 4, 2025
Siemens Smart Infrastructure and Mennekes are partnering to simplify and improve power distribution planning for eMobility charging infrastructure.
As part of this collaboration, Mennekes is the first partner to join the Simaris software ecosystem, giving electrical planners access to Mennekes’ industrial eMobility portfolio.
The Simaris planning tools help electrical planners dimension the electrical power distribution and determine the required devices such as distribution boards, making the planning of e-charging infrastructure with Mennekes charging stations simple, efficient, and seamless. This collaboration is an important step towards promoting electromobility and thereby reducing CO2 emissions in the transport sector.
Simaris planning tools
E-charging solutions from Mennekes are simple and efficient to install. Through the partnership, the preliminary planning steps for reliable energy distribution for e-charging infrastructure are simplified. The Simaris tools enable the automatic design of all components and systems for the e-charging infrastructure, automatically considering relevant standards. The tool creates easy-to-use planning documents and specifications for tenders, including budgeting. Additionally, the tool provides Building Information Modeling (BIM) data for smooth data exchange, so that the planning of the charging infrastructure can be considered early in the digital twin. Projects and data from the Simaris tools can be shared, exported and imported.
