• Drive and automation systems have to be continuously available in any industry and all over the world, also when it comes to overseas shipping
• Increased wear can lead to a standstill of the plant and cause noticeable financial loss
• That´s why Gemak wanted Siemens to provide a comprehensive Motor Management Program to ensure the long-term availability of 140 AC/DC motors and 14 generators
• In order to minimize downtimes, the customer requires the development and implementation of optimized maintenance schedules
• Furthermore, the quality of the vibration analysis should be improved

The Motor Management Program for Gemak consisted of:

• On-site services: Inspection, testing, repair and reporting at the customer´s site
• In-house services: Maintenance and repair in the Siemens repair center in Istanbul incl. RCFA (Root Cause Failure Analysis)

Furthermore, a vibration analysis and electrical testing schedule for the motors and generators were implemented.

The Gemak Group consists of Gemak Tuzla Shipyard (established in 1969), Gemak TGE Shipyard (acquired in 2000), Gemak Neta Steel and Pipe Fabrication Yard (established in 2008) and Gemak Altinova Yard (established in 2013). It continues to provide services for dry-docking, ship repair and conversion, offshore - oil/gas and new ship building as the most competitive shipyard in the mediterranean area.
