From 3D model to design approval

„Especially due to the time pressure, which normally dominates plant engineering, an integrated system ready for installation is an optimal solution“, emphasizes B. Braun-Project Manager Cristina Molina. For her understanding previous to the project, Festo was only known as a component supplier. „But for cabinet solutions more is required than just selling“, she declares, “and what we got was a global consulting, engineering and project management – from 3-D-model to the design approval“. By this kind of standardization benefits can be achieved in all phases of the project even at the end of the start-up. Maintenance and repair costs during the whole life cycle of the plant are often clearly higher than the costs of the original investment. During the operational phase clear and significant cost advantages can be achieved by standardization, for example by a reduction of stock spare parts and also by decreased training needs for the maintenance staff. These benefits of a standardized technology are self explaining and can be harvested during the whole life cycle period of the production facility.
