ControlBuild wins prestigious Industry Award at the Siemens Innovation Grand Prix 2009

Industry Award recognises project for RATP – the Paris public transport operator

Paris , France - 15 June 2009.   Geensys has announced that ControlBuild, its front-to-back, model-based environment for the design, development, validation, deployment and maintenance of control and automation systems and applications, has won the prestigious Industry Award at the Siemens Innovation Grand Prix 2009. .   Geensys competed against a large number of companies to win the Award.

 

The Siemens Innovation Grand Prix 2009 Industry Award recognises the successful use of ControlBuild by RATP, the Paris public transport operator, for the integration and qualification of its new Ouragan control system for Lines 3 and 5 of the Paris metro. ControlBuild was used to create a model-based simulation environment to validate the train and station-based electronic control systems developed by Siemens, Ansaldo and AREVA TA.  The ControlBuild simulation solution not only significantly reduced the cost and time involved in developing and validating the electronic control systems but enabled the work to be undertaken without disrupting the daily operation of the lines.

 

“We are extremely pleased to win the prestigious Industry Award at the Siemens Innovation Grand Prix 2009,” said Eliane Fourgeau, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Geensys.   “It not only recognises the growing importance of model-based design for control and automation applications but also the innovative achievements of Geensys as a whole.”

 

The Grand Prix recognises advanced research and innovation in the areas of Industry, Energy / Environment and Health. “As all these markets are important in the DACH region we are well positioned with ControlBuild to grow our market share,” said Ingo Bruse, Geensys’ Sales Director for DACH region. “The award recognizes again the outstanding capabilities of ControlBuild.”

 

The Siemens Innovation Grand Prix 2009 awards ceremony was held on 4th June 2009 at SERI 2009 (the European Research & Innovation Exhibition) in Paris.
