When goods are shipped to the customer, they are consolidated regionally at the Siemens AG level
and then distributed as part of the IDS network. As a result, the cargo space in each means of transport
is optimized.
The Siemens Logistics Network (SLogN) is the basis for the efcient and secure movement of goods.
The core of this transport network is a pool of highly qualied service providers who offer the best
prices and performance thanks to the pooling of Siemens-wide needs.
The use of transportation resources is being optimized by continuing improvements in the size of
product packaging. The packaging units of our suppliers are optimized ahead of procurement to ensure
the means of transport is fully loaded (e.g. containers in the case of sea freight).
In overseas logistics chains, we try to ensure that marine transport is used as frequently as possible.
Transportation of goods by rail or inland waterway is preferred over trucks because it reduces emissions
by 50%. Air freight for transporting goods internationally is the exception and out of principle shipment
by sea has priority.
