Premium Service "Operator Training System" производства Siemens

An Operator Training System from Siemens is worth considering in the following cases:

• Chemical or pharmaceutical process
• Process with many feedbacks and interconnections
• Process is complex
• New plant or control technology
• Frequent startup/shutdown of plant
• Many changes in product and/or load
• Personnel qualifications should be improved
• Faults and downtimes due to maloperations
• Frequent change in personnel
• Variations in production depending on shift workers
• Ratio of rejects too high
• Product quality or energy consumption can be improved through optimized operator prompting
• Testing of different operating strategies or control concepts
• Testing and checking of operating instructions

• Uniformly high training level for all plant operators
• Time savings during startup and with changes in production
• Improved plant availability
• Reduced production downtimes
• Correct, safe and fast response in event of faults
• Improved understanding of the process
• Optimized operator interventions
• Optimized control
• Safe mastering of control technology
• Improvements regarding retention of quality limits

The Premium Service "Operator Training System" consists of three modules which build upon each other and which can be ordered individually:

Module 1:
Determination, coordination and evaluation of aspects relevant to an OTS

• One-day workshop for qualitative evaluation of the practicability and advantages of an OTS
• Participants: Siemens experts and representatives of the client with profound knowledge of the process
• Discussion of the process with the client's experts, e.g. on the basis of process flowcharts and descriptions
• Presentation of basic OTS functionalities using different OTS types and examples
• Recording of possible process faults and failures, and identification of critical process steps
• Derivation of OTS tasks, and discussion of potential improvements, with consideration of the plant's special features, the qualification level of the operators, and typical operating modes and failures
• Result: Written documentation of the aspects and advantages elaborated in the workshop, and estimation of the practicability

Module 2:
Preparation of a feasibility study

• One-week feasibility study for detailed processing of an individual OTS (requirements, targets, options for improvement, basic structure)
• Participants: Siemens experts and representatives of the client
• Provision of the data required for planning the OTS by the client, e.g. process descriptions, flowcharts, process data, models, and model descriptions
• Analysis of all process steps, and selection of the plant components relevant to the OTS
• Investigation of existing process models, and testing of possible modeling approaches
• Discussion and selection of the training situations relevant to the OTS (startup/shutdown, changes in type and products, etc.), fault and failure scenarios
• Planning of the OTS architecture, and selection of suitable components
• Result: Detailed documentation of the planned OTS with the following contents:
  • Design and implementation
  • Scope of services and delivery
  • Schedule and costs for implementation
  • Savings potential

Module 3:
Implementation of the produced feasibility study

• Development and installation of an OTS based on the results provided in Modules 1 and 2
• Content is the subject of an individual agreement between client and contractor
• 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 "Operator Training System" do not include any traveling expenses. Traveling expenses from the Hoechst Industrial Estate, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, will be invoiced separately.
