The Premium Service Asset Management offered as an add-on for SIMATIC PCS 7 as of V7.0 process control system is split into three complementary modules that can be ordered individually:
Module 1:
Determination of asset management optimization potential through analysis by experts
- One-day workshop for explanation of the Siemens integrated asset management concept, for determining the need for maintenance and the optimization potential
- Participants: Siemens experts and representatives of the client with profound knowledge of the plant technology and asset management.
- Prior agreement of workshop details between client and contractor
- Typical workshop content:
- Presentation of the available asset management blocks
- Stating the requirements for the application of the asset management blocks, e.g. suitable types of apparatus, retrofitting of measurement devices etc.
- Explanation of the block functions, if necessary in connection with a live demonstration
- Presentation of the benefits and limits of asset management blocks
- Presentation of the customer's current maintenance situation (maintenance intervals, failure/wear problems, frequency of plant standstills)
- Basic analysis to determine the optimization potential
- Result: Workshop documentation with qualitative evaluation of the asset management potential and specific recommendations for further actions
Module 2:
Preparation of a feasibility study
- Approx. one week feasibility study for verification and detailing of the potential identified in Module 1: Detailed examination of the assets of the customer plant and recording of the process/apparatus data relevant for the parameterization
- Participants: Siemens experts and representatives of the client
- Prior agreement of content of the feasibility study between client and contractor
- Typical contents of the feasibility study:
- Selection of assets to be monitored
- Checking the conditions for applying the asset management blocks
- Determining the necessary measurement technology
- Recording relevant process/apparatus data in the form of checklists
- Determining the required alarms
- Result: Report on the feasibility study that contains the data on assets to be monitored, necessary commissioning measures and a rough estimate of costs
Module 3:
Implementation of the prepared feasibility study
- Support in commissioning the asset management blocks
- Requirement: Completion of the measures necessary for the commissioning of the asset management blocks from the feasibility study, e.g. retrofitting of measurement points
- Content is the subject of an individual agreement between client and contractor
- Typical service content:
- Calculating the characteristics
- Implementing and parameterizing the blocks
- Analysis of the recorded block operating data
- Training the customer's personnel
- Basis for the individual agreement is a project-specific quotation provided by Siemens as the contractor
- Inquiries for production of a quotation should be directed to the address specified under "Further information"
Note:
The modules of the Premium Service "Asset Management" do not include any traveling expenses. Traveling expenses from the Hoechst Industrial Estate, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, will be invoiced separately.
