Industrial Projects andTechnical Services SIEMENS Starts Working Before You Know You Need It! A single compact design which monitors all shipboard generator functions and can, when needed, start up the standby unit and place it on-line while dropping the unit experiencing problems off-line and shutting it down all in 7 seconds. It alerts the duty engineer who, by that time, is acknowledging the alarm that alerted him. He can then proceed to check what is now his off-line generator without a flashlight. • ABS and USCG approved. • Data buss control. • Full-remote capability. • Milspec self-diagnostics. • Battery back-up. • Full-logging capability. • Full-trend analysis.

Process control is being delegated to small, intelli- gent units which operate on a decentralized basis and are linked with local net- works. This result enhances safety and reduces cabling. Future oriented ideas also stand behind the Siemens diesel-electric propulsion systems. For example the economical operation through optimal utilization of fuel for diesel engines to generate electrical power, even in partial load ranges. Or the high availability through modular design with small probability of total loss of propulsion power. Call for further information: Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc.

PTC recognizes the tremendous pressures of compe- tition in the shipbuilding industry and by providing the unique, state-of-the-art collaborative design solution found in Pro/ENGINEER Shipbuilding Solutions, PTC is providing to the shipbuilding community the tools needed to successfully compete in new global markets.

BO»t« U — EB: a design tool integrated with an enterprise information management system, like PTC's Windchill, to facilitate this information sharing. This is the idea behind the Pro/ENGINEER Shipbuilding Solutions product. With Windchill, the Web is used to link ship infor- mation across departments, divisions, strategic suppli- ers, ship owners, and anyone else who is desired to be included within the extended enterprise. All common product information is stored in shared databases. Data visualization and digital mock-up are accom- plished using common web browser technolo- Steelwork, piping, and outfitting of an engine room using next generation software from PTC. Collaboration Is Key Shipbuilding is becoming increasingly reliant upon collaboration as a means of achieving project goals. Shipyards have shifted toward the extensive use of sub-contractors, increasing the importance of data management and necessitating the sharing of informa- tion across an extended enterprise. It is crucial to have gies. Electronic data from suppliers, which origi- nates from other CAD systems, can be easily retrieved and used for design purposes using PTC's Associative Topology Bus. Windchill also manages workflow, triggering actions to be taken. In addition, Windchill links existing disparate databases together. For example, a drawing cat- aloging system could be tied to a bill of materi- al system via simple Web pages. Information can now easily come together to allow engineers to effectively collaborate with other members of the design enterprise. PTC is presenting to the shipbuilding industry what it dubs the next generation of shipbuilding design solutions with the introduction of the September, 2000 Circle 298 on Reader Service Card Circle 228 on Reader Service Card 27
