San Juan de Dios Hospital in Seville, Spain, has reduced its operational costs by 35 percent after implementing Siemens Smart Infrastructure’s AI-based building platform. The hospital, which has a history of more than 450 years, adopted Siemens’ Building X and digital services to modernize its facilities.
The technology integrates energy management, security systems, and HVAC automation into one platform. This approach allows building managers to achieve both operational and energy efficiency. According to Siemens, the system is expected to deliver an additional 10 percent reduction in operating costs through early fault detection and optimized equipment use.
“With Siemens’ technology, we have gone beyond simple automation. We now have an intelligent system that coordinates, optimizes, and anticipates the functioning of our facilities, improving care quality and the well-being of those around us,” said María Jesús Pareja, Managing Director at San Juan de Dios Hospital.
Building X uses AI-powered applications to bring together various facility management functions. The project also includes remote digital services for fault detection and diagnostics, intrusion detection with Siemens’ Siveillance Suite, and the Desigo CC building management system. These tools give real-time insights into building performance and energy consumption.
“This project sets another benchmark for hospital digitalization globally. By harnessing AI and interoperable platforms, healthcare facilities can transform operational complexity into simplicity and resilience – ultimately improving care outcomes while cutting costs,” said Delphine Clément, Global Head of Verticals at Siemens Smart Infrastructure Buildings.
Building X is part of Siemens Xcelerator, a digital business platform designed to help customers manage and optimize their operations as they move toward digital transformation.
