Industry Services SIMATIC Inventory Baseline Services Detailed knowledge of the condition of your plant ensures serviceability Answers for industry.
SIMATIC Inventory Baseline Services Efficient inventory-taking thanks to SIMATIC Inventory Baseline Services Do you know one of the keys to lasting success in industry? The key lies is minimizing your plant downtimes and deploying personnel and operating resources as efficiently as possible at all times. Siemens creates the right conditions for greater productivity, flexibility, and efficiency with technology-based services throughout the entire lifecycle of your plant reliably, worldwide, and 24 hours a day. Our comprehensive technology and the product and industry expertise of Siemens global network of experts create a solid foundation that gives our customers a crucial competitive edge. In order to optimally maintain your machines and plants, detailed knowledge is required of all hardware products, systems, software solutions and licenses in use. Minimize the risk of making wrong decisions when it comes to modernization measures and the budgeting of maintenance and repairs with differentiated material lists (parts lists), a more accurate plant overview and up-to-date lifecycle information. Challenges in this context include: the uniform and complete recording of all installed automation components, implementation within a short time and at low cost, provision of standard reports on the current inventory for the planning and preparation of further measures.
Sequence of steps of the SIMATIC Inventory Baseline Services Installed Base Data Collection Data Processing and Verification Inventory Report SIMATIC Inventory Baseline Services are modern data-driven services that help make the maintenance of machinery and plant even more efficient by applying new methods and tools. The inventory delivers an overview of the currently installed plant base as well as the spare parts in stock. It answers the question as to which products are used where in the system, and defines the lifecycle status of the entire system. The result of the inventory serves as a decision-making aid for the planning of maintenance and modernization measures: Replacement of obsolete system components Basis for future spare parts strategies Preparation of updates or upgrades Preparation for machinery and plant expansions SIMATIC Inventory Baseline Services provide transparency about all aspects of installed automation components in machinery and plants and serves as a decision-making aid and database for the implementation of additional services, such as: SIMATIC System Assessment/Audit Lifecycle Information Services Asset Optimization Services SIMATIC Inventory Baseline Services are particularly important when no detailed system data is available or if it is outdated or incomplete. SIMATIC Inventory Baseline Services follow a structured sequence and perform functions ranging from data collection and data processing to reporting in three steps. Thanks to the use of efficient software tools, the entire procedure is faster, more reliable and easier to follow.
Installed Base Data Collection Automated inventory Manual recording of additional components Standard tools for automated acquisition of component data in the automation system are used for straightforward, effective recording of the existing plant base. This process can be carried out while the plant is in operation without affecting it. Parameterization of the software tools by service specialists Automated data acquisition Manual additions possible Inventory The inventory of the spare parts store can be carried out manually or integrated in the inventory data in the form of a separate list. The following information is required for this: MLFB number Serial number HW, FW, SW revision Number of components Data Processing and Verification Data processing Data standardization Data verification An analysis tool imports the recorded data and processes it. This ensures that the individual components are analyzed correctly. Manual additions are possible at any time. The result of this evaluation is a map of the automation system with a listing of all components acquired. After the data has been verified, the inventory data is transferred to a central database that acts as the basis on which additional services can be built. Data verification Identification of SW packages available for ordering Addition of/expansion with externally sourced products Supplementing required information Entering of correct customer data, e.g. address, plant designation, contact persons at the customer and at Siemens Logging of components with unknown order number Overview of the system lifecycle status Inventory Report Reporting Data storage in database The content of the reports is divided up into: Listing of the existing plant base Overview and detailed information about the operator systems Overview and detailed information about the automation systems Detailed information about the network and field components Number of Siemens components Number of non-siemens components Statistics on the availability of recorded products for delivery Recommendations from Siemens Reference to other services
