The correct decisions have to be made when planning modernization measures or when budgeting necessary maintenance measures. The basis for such decisions is an in-depth knowledge of the installed system base. The requirements in this context are:

• Uniform and complete inclusion of all installed automation components
• Implement inclusion in a relatively short time and at low costs
• Make the result available through standardized reports

With SIMATIC Inventory Baseline Services, Siemens is offering data-driven services employing new methods and tools for even more efficient maintenance of your machines and plants.

Performing an inventory provides an overview of the currently installed plant equipment and the spare parts inventory. The result of the inventory is used as a decision-making tool when planning future measures for maintenance and modernization.

SIMATIC Inventory Baseline Services offer transparency with regard to the installed automation components of machines and plants and provide the data for additional lifecycle services, such as, SIMATIC System Audit, Lifecycle Information Services or Asset Optimization Services.
