 "We would have to completely rebuild our power plant in order to successfully compete in today’s highly competitive market. Unfortunately, our budget does not permit large capital spending. And complete modernization is just not an option right now." The unused potential of every power plant can be identified by a lot of companies. But Siemens knows how to make the best use of it. All for a relatively small initial investment. Siemens will identify the most promising enhancements to keep the power plant continuously profitable via justifiable expenditures. Technological progress always creates opportunities and risks. The increasing use of standard components in automation has led to OEMs experiencing shorter and shorter innovation cycles. As a result, spare parts supply becomes a critical planning dimension that plant operators have to manage very carefully. Together with the customer, Siemens will analyze the overall goals, taking into consideration business targets, operating strategies and the remaining lifetimes of the plants. The specific competitive position of the customer will determine the optimal combination: custom-tailored spare parts, migration or total modernization concepts-scalable, finely tuned and coordinated.
