The Geafol Sensformer™, Developed by Siemens, Is Capable of Providing Solutions for Improved Energy Efficiency and Data Reliability, Additionally Optimizing Maintenance Actions

With the purpose of helping energy companies and various sectors towards the digital age, Siemens Energy launches a new equipment concept named Geafol Sensformer™. Besides acting in locations that require greater attention in energy distribution and transmission networks, the feature can convert the transformer into a digital data center, allowing its user/client to optimize operations based on data obtained from the equipment.

It is worth noting that if you are an engineer, Siemens needs your resume as well.

Manufactured at the Jundiaí branch in the state of São Paulo, the transformer provides more safety and eliminates the need for an operator to be physically present, unless necessary. Data is also stored more intelligently, transmitted via an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway, remaining in the cloud and allowing for more efficient reporting.

“The Geafol Sensformer™ was born connected and aligned with the digitalization trends we are seeing in the market, as it transmits location, temperature, and current in real-time with maximum reliability, enabling more assertive decision-making and better asset management,” says Vagner Lucca Junior, Distribution Transformer Operations Manager at Siemens Energy Brazil.

Sectors Where This New Siemens Technology Can Be Applied

The properties of the Geafol Sensformer™ are applicable in various sectors of the Brazilian market. The device can be used in sugar and ethanol plants, oil platforms, airports, industry, hospitals, shopping centers, energy companies, wind farms, photovoltaic plants, among others.

About 94% of the equipment’s composition can be recycled after its usage cycle, which is why it poses no danger to the environment.

Sectors Where This New Siemens Technology Can Be Applied

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Empty containers coming from China are crowding U.S. ports, taking up space for new cargo and creating a logistical paradox where farmers need boxes while thousands of them remain idle near the sea.

New phone with a giant 8,000 mAh battery, promising up to three days away from the charger and military-grade durability, is launched by Realme in India; meet the Realme 16T.

Poland cut the Vistula Peninsula to no longer depend on the Russian passage in the Baltic Sea, but the billion-dollar canal inaugurated in 2022 still faces shallow lagoon, low cargo ship traffic, and the need for constant dredging to function as a commercial route.

Chinese SUV arrives in Brazil for R$ 175,000 with a 1.5 turbo flex engine of 180 hp, 20-inch wheels, and 0 to 100 km/h in 7.7 seconds, but the new mechanical set becomes the big question.

What was destined for disposal can nourish crops: UFMG research transforms agro-industrial waste into sustainable fertilizer.
