Fortune magazine has reported that the average life span of small and medium-sized private enterprises in China is only 2.5 years, and the average life span of group enterprises is 7-8 years, while in the United States, the two sets of figures are 7 years and 40 years respectively. If viewed from this time dimension, the Red Flag instrument, founded in 1993, has exceeded many domestic enterprises. As a “specialized special new” enterprise, the technical strength of Red flag instrument is also “can play”, more than half of the nearly 500 million yuan sales from overseas markets, its products are sold to the Middle East, Europe and the United States and other dozens of countries and regions, widely favored by customers.

As the impact of the digital age on the industry continues to emerge, the “specialized and special new” enterprises that have achieved first-mover advantages with technology in the past must rely on digitalization to reshape their competitiveness and usher in sustainable development in the future. This is the starting point for Siemens Xcelerator.

New challenges in the digital age

The challenges of red flag meters mainly come from several aspects:
• First, under the new economic environment and competitive landscape, enterprises need to strictly control costs. The annual electricity cost of Red flag meters is as high as 1.5 million, which is the most important cost component of the enterprise, but the energy consumption appears in what time and which link, the enterprise is not clear. Effectively promoting energy conservation and consumption reduction is not only the needs of enterprises themselves, but also the urgent requirements of national economic development.
• Second, as an export-oriented enterprise, it is necessary to lay out “dual carbon” management before the formal imposition of “carbon tariffs” to achieve transparency of carbon footprint, otherwise it will need to pay high carbon tariffs and affect the development of export business.
• In addition, as a leading enterprise in the industry, Hongqi Instrument also hopes to build its own zero-carbon green factory in the future.

“Quantifying energy consumption is the key to solving the problem of reducing cost and increasing efficiency of Red flag instruments.” Tao Binjiang, co-founder and CEO of New Nuclear Cloud, said that as a service provider focused on providing full-stack solutions for digital factories with MES as the core, energy management is not its expertise, so its first task is to find a partner to provide the required products. And this product should meet the following requirements: the price can not be high, acceptable to small and medium-sized enterprises; Able to connect with the new nuclear cloud MES system; Highly flexible to support further upgrades in the future; There is a certain brand awareness, the three parties can quickly establish the foundation of trust, to help the rapid progress of the project.

Smart ECX goes low-carbon

In the face of project problems, the new nuclear cloud first thought of Siemens, after communication and research found that the Smart ECX intelligent carbon management platform on Siemens Xcelerator is exactly what customers need.

Functionally, Smart ECX can be seamlessly integrated with the new nuclear cloud MES system, allowing customers to make quick decisions by logging on to the system at a glance at their energy consumption. The joint solution created by Siemens and New Nuclear Cloud builds an advanced production and operation system that can achieve complete carbon footprint management through eight modules: core data service, energy audit, carbon verification and certification, group overview, enterprise overview, energy management, operation and maintenance management, park setting and system setting. Siemens Xcelerator’s SAAS-based delivery approach not only reduces the pressure on enterprise budgets, but also provides greater flexibility for further upgrades in the future.

Qin Cheng, General Manager of Siemens Xcelerator China, said: “The cooperation between Siemens Xcelerator and New Nuclear Cloud is not only a successful case of digital transformation, but also an exploration of a new business model in the digital field. Siemens Xcelerator brings together a portfolio of products, services and solutions to provide more choices for the different needs of service providers and manufacturing companies, thus quickly starting the journey of digital transformation.”

Gathering ecology accelerates digital transformation

The partners on Siemens Xcelerator are different from traditional agents or integrators, but independent ISV solution providers, in this innovative model, end users, service providers, developers and other advantages, mutual benefit, achieve 1+1>2 synergies.

The Siemens Xcelerator can truly empower different partners in the ecosystem.

For example, “specialized” small and medium-sized enterprises are usually the “hidden champions” of the subdivision industry, their strength lies in the original technical advantages of the subdivision field, and the digital transformation itself is a systematic, complex, continuous project, “specialized” enterprises do not have sufficient energy and resource reserves to invest in specific research in new fields. Siemens Xcelerator, based on its rich practice, can provide them with a digital transformation strategy to solve the problem of not knowing, not knowing, and not afraid to change.

For many digital transformation service providers, difficult brand building and high customer acquisition cost are common problems at present. In addition, service providers often do a single project, this “single breakthrough” business model will undoubtedly restrict the long-term growth of enterprises. Relying on the Siemens Xcelerator platform, digital service providers can bring more value-added points to their huge SME customer resources and break through the “ceiling” of business development.

Since its launch, the Siemens Xcelerator platform has successfully launched more than 10 locally developed innovative solutions, developed nearly 40 ecological partners, and continues to expand the “circle of friends”. Qin Cheng said that Siemens Xcelerator gathers the power of ecology to help digital transformation accelerate from “single point breakthrough” to “large-scale landing”.
