Siemens argues that traditional construction procurement—driven by lowest-cost bids and generic specs—creates fragmented, poorly integrated building systems that slow factories, increase risk, and complicate maintenance. Their outcome-based Master Systems Integrator (MSI) approach brings Siemens in early to co-define business goals, design user-driven use cases, and align building technologies with factory-floor needs. Siemens standardizes controllers, interfaces, and data models across OEM equipment; links BAS with SCADA; and builds a unified technology roadmap. The result: faster commissioning, fewer change orders, reduced downtime, better safety, streamlined integration, and long-term operational efficiency across the plant lifecycle.
