COPYRIGHT © EUROSTEP GROUP Situaon Siemens cover the whole process of development, sales, engineering, manufacturing and the aſter market with life- me service. Each turbine consists of approx. 10 000 parts and 5% of those are new/revised per project. The core tur- bine is designed and manufactured in Finspång, while auxil- iary parts are sourced from sub-suppliers and then assem- bled in Siemens workshop before sending the complete tur- bine to the customer. Problem The extensive use of a document-based communicaon process, based on e-mail and some mes also in print, made it complex and expensive to track product specificaons and documentaon coming from suppliers. Lacking an effecve way to communicate with suppliers could lead to develop- ment of turbines based on incorrect specificaons and diffi- cules for suppliers to manage system documentaon. Soluon The soluon is a secure and standard based collaboraon hub that connects Siemens and their suppliers to an environ- ment to share product data in a controlled way, with minimal impact on exisng processes and tools. Siemens can main- tain up-to-date product configuraon with suppliers, part- ners and customer. While suppliers can ensure up-to-date maintenance and assembly instrucons, and material cerfi- caon on products and system individuals. Benefits Improved efficiency - The collaboraon hub with a com- mon source of product data provides full traceability, up- to-date system configuraons and allows new effecve ways of working together. Secure collaboraon - Suppliers, partners and customers work together in a controlled manner with flexible admin- istraon of users and distributed access rights protecng each party’s intellectual property. Future proof - With full support of the PLCS (ISO 10303- 239) standard in ShareAspace Siemens is ready to imple- ment supplier collaboraon on a more granular level as a next step. Siemens Energy Finspång manufactures turnkey gas turbine solutions for the Oil & Gas industry and Industrial Power Generation customers, in the range of 8-60MW.
