Siemens stands for the electrification of the world



• Providing answers to business challenges around Plant

Lifecyle Management

• Improved competitiveness

• Better quality decision making

• Workflow optimization

• Saving potential across the entire plant lifecycle

COMOS – Making data work.

What we do.



• Trends towards green energy (must-runs like wind, solar) is

changing the requirements or conventional power plants

• Increasing cost pressure due to a energy market policy

• Long term availability of assets (like gas turbine) in challenging

operating conditions

• Outdated infrastructure

• Risk awareness in regards to health, safety & environment (HSE)

• Strict regulatory requirements

• Efficient information and knowledge management

• Regional differences in energy markets/policies

Global trends within energy industry

Why are we doing it.



COMOS enables EPCs and O/O’s to work with documents and data

throughout the entire plant lifecycle

Working to make documents

• Will not enable future requirements

or needs

• Focused on delivery

Making data work!

• Non-limited foundation for future

• Continuous increment of asset value

by adding & managing data

• Information mobility

“Building the plant” “Building the plant (smarter)” Engineering and Operating the plant

Working to make data

• Limits future solutions and functions

• Does not fully increase asset value

• Focused on engineering



Intelligent Data Management

Intelligent data management for

highest plant availability and safety

• Transparent documentation

• Secure plant & project

documentation

• Investment security & cost reduction

• Covering the entire plant lifecycle

Siemens Answers: COMOS

Your Benefits for Energy



Our promise

• More productivity

• More efficiency

• More flexibility

COMOS - Making data work.

• Seamless flow of information based

on a globally consistent database –

end-to-end, across all disciplines and

all phases of the plant lifecycle

• Access at all times to data that is

always up to date – in real time,

independent of time zones

Better quality decision-

making throughout the

plant’s entire lifecycle



"One of the big advantages of COMOS is that the software is

flexibly adapted to the existing work processes, and not the

other way around, as is usual with other software products.“

David Röbbing, System Administrator at the power

Stadtwerke Hannover AG (enercity), Owner Operator



We are already seeing significant improvements in terms of

reduced engineering time and higher overall engineering

performance. Because the pulp and paper industry is very

cost-driven – and for us, engineering is a major cost factor in

our projects – having a software solution such as COMOS

really helps a lot.“
