Energy Management Suite SPPA-M3000 Plant Management@WebBFS

Overview

SPPA-M3000 Plant Management@WebBFS, the integrated management system for technical plant management, provides specialized solutions for the work processes and tasks in power plants. It is, however, just as useful for other process-oriented production plants.

The benefit? Effective support for maximum efficiency.

Suitable support of the work processes in technical plant management considerably improves the flow of information, communication and administration. Tapping substantial optimization potential thus becomes possible.

The plant management system is available as state-of-the-art Web-application and also in Client/Server architecture.

The right maintenance strategy reduces costs considerable.

Plant Data Management Solid basis for all activities

The Plant Data Management module provides information compilations as required and supplies current plant data to all programs. This enables to effortlessly describe the com-plete plant in a structured manner, according to uniform rules and without redundancies, taking into consideration a variety of views.

All it takes is a few basic data and Plant Management is ready for operation – fast and efficiently. Existing databases can easily be taken over into the new system. In addition, fast-entry dialogs facilitate adding required data with the system in operation.

Maintenance Management Efficient and effective maintenance

All maintenance measures as well as restructuring or new building projects are reliably planned, tracked and documented with Plant Management. Both the planning and the actual work can be executed according to schedule, keeping an eye on the effort and costs involved and taking into consideration the required resources as well as the tag-out/lock-out measures and safety precautions. The work planning and order program provides integrated support for all major maintenance strategies, such as fault/failure-based maintenance, preventive, periodical maintenance and condition-based maintenance.

Maintenance Strategy Saving with optimized strategies

Saving on maintenance costs without compromising the plant’s safety? Plant Management Maintenance Strategy makes it possible for maintenance managers to methodically determine the best strategy on the basis of the fault/failure behavior of the respective item. An individually customizable graphical decision tree supports determination of the strategy and documentation of the decision criteria. Findings made in the course of maintenance work are provided in an information and knowledge base to support regular review of the individual strategies.

Field-tested solutions for effective plant management

Basic System

The modular structure of SPPA-M3000 Plant Manage-ment@WebBFS and the integrated data and object models make it possible to implement the system in several steps or use individual solutions without any negative effect on the integrated operation of the programs.

Occupational and Operational Safety Maximum safety at the least possible effort

The danger potential in process plants is especially high for maintenance work. Plant operators are required by law to keep the safety hazards in the plant and for the staff to a minimum. The resulting tasks and work processes for plant management are supported by the Plant Management module Occupational and Operational Safety. It provides, e.g., a work permit and approval program including the planning, execution, monitoring and documentation of tag-outs and safety precautions. Moreover, it supports hazard evaluation, recurrent tests and supplies information on operational and occupational safety as well as on handling hazardous substances.

Spare Parts Management Just as required

The integrated Spare Parts Management module provides comprehensive support for requisitioning and supplying spare parts, thus ensuring smooth execution of the maintenance work. Its main objectives are optimizing the stock level for the selected maintenance strategies, providing fast access to required parts and ensuring that the parts meet the technical requirements.

Project and Outage Management Keeping control even of large projects

The Project and Outage Management module provides the right tools to effectively plan, track and document maintenance inspections and larger repair, new build-ing and restructuring projects.

Dividing the project into sub-projects with specific assignment of responsibilities makes keeping track much easier. Moreover, the order management lets you plan and track project work, schedules and costs in detail. Large-format schedules can be edited and printed via an interface to MS Project.

Shift Management Transparent operation

Logging process data and events of a shift in a clearly structured manner – either manually or automatically via an interface to the DCS – is easy with the Shift Management module.

Specially developed for deployment in power plants and process plants and accessible online from any workplace, the Shift Management allows flexible shift planning and professional logging of all critical shift events. Even creating and distributing shift instructions and orders is easy and audit-proof documentation of confirmation and/or execution is ensured.

Document Management Reliable archiving, fast retrieval – anytime

Without system support up to 40 % of an employee’s daily working hours are required for obtaining information. The Document Management module facilitates registering, classifying and describing all documents. Even version control is provided.

This allows targeted searches to find the right docu-ment in no time. Any related linked documents can be opened from the respective program, e.g. the Plant Data Management, at the push of a button.

Global references proof the customer benefits; also at Zhunge’er Power Plant in China.

Developed from practice for practice

In contrast to standard systems, Plant Management was specifically developed from practice for practice and comes with classification systems, catalogs, drop-down lists, data groups etc. This ensures fast implementation, effective support and high acceptance. Additionally, the integrated tools make it possible to customize the programs for the plant’s specific situation, organization and work-flows – fast, cost-effective and, most of all, release-proof. Plant Management has also been successfully used in Siemens O&M-projects for many years.

Comprehensive service: All from one source

We are your competent partner in all matters of technical plant management, whether it is the implementation of Plant Management or the migration of data, maintenance or user training.

“After very thorough evaluation we decided on the Siemens Plant Management system. Now we know we made the right decision: The system meets our requirements 100 %; cooperation with Siemens is excellent.”
