Siemens to modernize automation system at Bayer CropScience
 
西门子为拜耳作物科学更新自动化系统

ATLANTA, April 9, 2008 - Siemens Energy & Automation has been awarded a project valued at more than $1 million to modernize the automation system at the Bayer CropScience site in Institute, West Virginia, with Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 distributed control system (DCS).

亚特兰大4月9日消息——西门子能源和自动化集团被授予了一份价值超过一百万美元的项目,为拜耳作物科学在西弗吉尼亚大学的研究所的自动化系统更新为西门子的SIMATIC PCS 7分布式控制系统(DCS)。

Bayer CropScience is one of the world's leading innovative crop science companies in the areas of crop protection, non-agriculture pest control, seeds, and plant biotechnology. The migration to the PCS 7 DCS will enable Bayer CropScience to meet challenging scheduling requirements while modernizing two manufacturing processes at the Institute site.

拜耳作物科学公司是在作物保护、非农业虫害防治、种子和植物生物技术等领域世界领先的创新作物科学公司之一。转换成PCS 7分布式控制系统将使得拜耳作物科学可以满足具有挑战性的进度需求,同时更新了该研究所的两个制造工序。

"The timing of this project is critical to avoid disrupting production," said Vinay Devgon, head of engineering at the Bayer CropScience Institute site. "The ability to use a single integrated platform for DCS, batch, safety, and process simulation technology is the main reason we were able to meet our tight deadline. In addition, now we can do a rigorous S88 implementation and documentation of the batch process."

拜耳作物科学研究所工程主管Vinay Devgon表示:“这个项目的时间表是避免干扰生产的关键。对分布式控制系统、批量、安全以及流程模拟技术使用一个单一集成平台的能力是我们能够应付紧张期限的主要原因。此外,目前我们可以实施严谨的S88以及批次处理的文档分类。”

Kevin McDevitt, Siemens Project Management Office manager, says in addition to competitive pricing, Siemens was awarded the project based on the overall long-term value presented to Bayer CropScience.

西门子项目管理办公室经理Kevin McDevitt表示除了有竞争力的报价之外,西门子获得这个项目还因为可以为拜耳作物科学提供全面的长期价值。

"Siemens can deliver attractive lifecycle costs minimizing total cost of ownership because process automation modernization is a core competence of our team in the U.S.," says McDevitt, who is overseeing the project execution. "We provide this value by data mining the intellectual property of the installed system so that we can preserve the existing process know-how and extend it within PCS 7 by using the system's powerful engineering tools."

负责监管本项目执行的McDevitt表示:“西门子能够提供有吸引力的生命周期成本,使总体拥有成本最小化,因为过程自动化的现代化是我们在美国的团队的核心竞争力。我们通过数据挖掘安装系统的知识产权,提供这个价值,使我们可以保持现有的流程诀窍,并利用系统强大的工程工具在PCS 7里面扩展它。”

Devgon says another way Siemens adds value to the conversion project is by partnering with local systems integrator and full service engineering company Augusta Engineering. He says Siemens technology and global support combined with Augusta Engineering's local support was a significant reason for winning the project.

Devgon表示,西门子为这个转换项目带来价值的另一种方式是与当地系统集成商和全服务工程公司Augusta工程公司的合作。他表示西门子的技术以及全球支持,结合Augusta工程公司的本地支持,是赢得这一项目的一个重要原因。

Scott Cloherty, Augusta Engineering's information and control systems manager, agrees a strong selling point was local, ongoing support. "With all of us working together, Bayer CropScience is getting an integrated and comprehensive automation system that is locally supported. We are available when they need us."

Augusta工程公司信息与控制系统经理Scott Cloherty也同意本地化的持续支持是一个强大的卖点。“通过我们所有人的共同努力,拜耳作物科学正取得一个有本地化支持的一体化综合自动化系统。在他们需要我们的时候,我们随时到达。”
