Use Cases	Manufacturing System Automation Predictive Maintenance
Services	System Integration Training
Challenge	Siemens Turbomachinery Equipment was facing challenges with their existing data analysis tool, Microsoft Excel, which was too static with limited performance and high administrative costs for data assessment. The assessments were only possible by calling in the IT department. The company wanted to improve the transparency of production, taking due account of the current manufacturing information available. They also aimed to achieve a significant reduction in the costs of producing key data and analyses. The firm’s various production processes accumulate between 200,000 and 500,000 sets of such data. Siemens Turbomachinery Equipment also wanted to make it possible for the various specialist units to call up and analyse key data without help from the IT department. Read More
About Customer	Siemens Turbomachinery Equipment in Germany designs, manufactures, and sells turbo machines—turbines, compressors, and ventilators. The products are used in a variety of industries ranging from sewage treatment to installing technical equipment in construction projects. The wholly-owned subsidiary of Siemens AG has a workforce of around 600 at its plants in Frankenthal and Leipzig. The company is known for its high level of customer satisfaction, which is largely due to its ability to always meet delivery deadlines. This requires precise planning and controlling of production—teams at the various manufacturing units must get the materials on time. So as not to jeopardise delivery deadlines, it is just as vital for finished components to be forwarded in plenty of time to the appropriate mechanical production and assembly units. Read More
Solution	Siemens Turbomachinery Equipment decided to implement QlikView to screen and analyse key data from FELIOS. This expansion module offers 30 key data processing options specially pre-defined for the manufacturing industry as a starter pack, which can then be configured to the customer’s specific requirements. QlikView was to be used for the presentation and assessment of this key data. After a detailed cost/use analysis, it was soon clear that Siemens had found the ideal solution for its various needs. Siemens Turbomachinery Equipment and INFORM worked jointly on the project and within just 12 weeks the whole operation was complete. This covered all planning, the integration of a QlikView Server as a new scalable software platform, the implementation of the software, installing the first QlikView applications, and staff training.
