The demand for plant automation is increasing in India. In such a scenario, software plays an important role because it not only eases the operations but also adds safety features to the plant. Furthermore, it is a great value addition in plant automation and engineering.

In order to introduce and spread awareness about its Comos plant automation software, Siemens had arranged a road shows at Mumbai and Delhi. The programme was attendedby executives from various leading companies of the process industry such as Toyo Engineering, HPCL, BPCL, Kalyani Group, Indian Oil, Engineers India etc. While talking about Comos at the event, Michael Weintke, General Manager, AS PA CIS - Plant Engineering Software, elaborated on the amount of efficiency that Comos can bring to the plant operations. He mentioned that one can achieve improved reliability in plant operations through Comos.

Advantages of Comos

Optimum data exchange between plant engineers and operators on a common database for increased plant management efficiency

Effective maintenance measures based up-to-date and documents to ensure maximum system availability

Saves time and money with improved communication between all involved disciplines during inspection maintenance and shutdown

Software Allows for Seamless Transition

Apart from the general introduction of the software, Siemens also concentrated on challenges in the market and proposed solutions to combat it. Weintke averred, “The Comos portfolio offers optimum software solutions for reliable and profitable system operation. Its unified database system facilitates the management, planning and organization of operation and maintenance processes, including documentation. A unique advantage of the innovative Comos software solution concept is the seamless transition and consistent data flow between the solution of Comos engineering and operations.”

“In the area of nuclear industry, especially in case of 3D modeling, harmonisation of the structure, platform/ software versions and technical specifications etc. play a very critical role. This needs to be addressed properly so that at the stage of final integration involving multiple agencies, everything works seamlessly.” - Dr. S. Saha, SO/H, ACE, NPCIL

Quite a positive response was generated for the road shows with executives from leading process companies expressing their satisfaction on getting to know the benefits of the software. More about Comos in India in our article From Integrated Engineering to Integrated Operations.

“COMOS object oriented concept makes it suitable for carrying out multi-disciplinary engineering in a common database. Since all the disciplines work on the same database, the inconsistencies are automatically eliminated, and quality and efficiency is increased as there is no manual intervention. What is more, after the engineering is over, the same database can be used for plant operation and maintenance. In this way, COMOS truly implements the concept of integrated engineering to integrated operations.” - Milind Kotibhaskar, General Manager,Deputy Division Head Infotech Centre
