Drive and automation systems have to be continuously available - in any industry and all over the world. Increased wear or missing spare parts can lead to standstill of the entire plant and cause noticeable financial loss for their owner.
Hence, Tembec needed a service solution to increase availability and efficiency of their motors.

Through a comprehensive Motor Management Program, Siemens can ensure the availability and also improve the efficiency of their motors. All key operations, engineering and procurement personnel should be taken over by the service partner through "buy in". In order to achieve this all, motors needed to be identified, analyzed and optimized.

The Motor Management Program for Tembec consisted of:

• Analysis of the data and development of an efficiency-enhancing program
• Detailed audit of all in service and spare motors
• Transfer of the collected data into the web-based MMP tool
