Bad Neustadt an der Saale Germany
The
Siemens Elektromotorenwerk in Bad Neustadt an der Saale is an electric motor factory and the Siemens
lighthouse factory for Siemens Digital Enterprise
applications in metalworking. In order to position the maintenance department as
key experts in supplying the needed services for an Industrie 4.0 factory, the
management needed to assess the current maintenance works and processes. With
the assessment there was an additional strong focus on how the implement
digitalization for maintenance.
Siemens Industry Services offers Plant Maintenance Services to provide expert support for a plants maintenance team and unique asset management solutions. Plant Maintenance Services contains Maintenance Consulting, Maintenance Services and Maintenance Outsourcing.
With the assessment
tool Maintenance Benchmark Review (MBR) our maintenance consultants assessed current state of the maintenance management processes with
strong focus on digitalization and define areas for improvement.
With the help of the assessment results the Siemens service experts were
able to create a customized Maintenance
Improvement Program (MIP) for the motor factory. The key focus was to
optimize the classical maintenance processes and activities by using suitable
digitalization approaches. Therefore the following sub-projects were
executed:
Maintenance processes and
KPIs: Definition of efficient maintenance processes with the focus on mobile
maintenance and individual Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Mobile Maintenance approach: Execution
of a structured research and testing of different mobile maintenance solutions
which can support the maintenance team in managing future workload.
Condition Monitoring: Provision of a
blue print requirement specification for a suitable condition monitoring
approach from a maintenance view, as a basis for all CNC machines.
Remote Services: Implementation of pilot
remote services to support an intercompany cross site communication and that
service experts can support teams directly cross factory.
Preventive Maintenance: Optimization of
preventive maintenance processes to be able to manage future workload, conducted
"before" and "after" SMED Workshop (Single Minutes of Exchange of Die).
Failure Analysis: Implementation of a
suitable failure analysis tool to analyze machine faults more
efficiently.
All the requirement specifications should be turned into real life solutions
in the next few months.
As a result of the Maintenance Improvement Program (MIP) the maintenance team of the motor factory in Bad Neustadt is - with the help of the provided maintenance know how, the documentation and processes - now in the position to successfully drive their digital transformation from a maintenance perspective.
The
Siemens Elektromotorenwerk in Bad Neustadt is an electric motor manufacturing plant and produces yearly more than 600,000 motors in 30,000 different types. The portfolio
includes servo motors, main motors, linear motors and torque motors.
