With Predictive Services for Drive Systems, Siemens makes maintenance more efficient for Sinamics drive systems and/or Simotics motors in the low voltage range. With its new service portfolio including Mindsphere app, Siemens is focusing on the operative demands of machine users, who are looking for full transparency for spare parts and servicing. Thanks to digital support via this app, Siemens can offer customers optimised service cycles, increased service efficiency, easy and streamlined documentation, plus full transparency for historical service activities.
Predictive Services for Drive Systems comprises a comprehensive service package that supports customers continuously by providing an overview of assets and service triggers, for example defined KPIs and operating hours based on predictive analytics. The app also offers transparency and detailed information for spare parts, depending on the configuration of the drive system and for recommended and pending service work. In addition, it includes an assistant for planning, implementing and documenting maintenance activities and offers an easy ordering function via the Siemens ServiceMall and the Global Service Platform (GSP).
Customers benefit from increased productivity and reduced downtime for their machines and plants. With support from the associated Mindsphere app, they can also enjoy full transparency for spare parts and maintenance activities to reduce risk through simple weak-point analysis. In addition, the app makes maintenance more efficient and streamlines the ordering process.
