From Workshop to Global Player
(Siemens 1847-2005)
Formed in 1847, the company telegrapher bauanstalt Von Siemens & Halske grew within the space of a few decades from a small precision-engineering workshop, producing mechanical warning bells for railways, wire insulation made of gutta-percha, and electrical telegraph systems, into one of the words largest companies in electrical & electronics engineering. Landmark inventions, an immense readiness to innovate, and a strong international commitment have driven the companys success since its very beginnings. When in 1866 Werner Siemens (known as Werner Von Siemens after 1888) discovered the dynamoelectric principle, the potential applications for electricity were limitless. Heavy-current engineering began to develop at a breathtaking pace, producing one triumphant innovation after another. In 1879, Siemens & Halske presented the first electric railway and installed the first electric street light in Berlin; in 1880 came the first electric elevator; and in 1881 the electric streetcar. Following the death of companys founding father, Werner von Siemens, in 1892, his successors followed the course he had set, constantly advancing the company with trailblazing innovations. Lighting, medical engineering, wireless communication, and, in 1920s household appliances, were followed after world war II by components, data processing systems, automotive systems and semiconductors. The guiding principle that had applied since the companys beginnings-of concentrating solely on the electrical engineering, but on the whole electrical engineering helped make Siemens the only company in its industry to operate in both light-and heavy current electrical engineering, and by the mid 1920s it was again one of the worlds five leading companies in its field. When national socialists seized power, Siemens, like the rest of German industry, was drawn into the system of the war economy. Through to 1944, higher state demand and military orders led to substantial increases both in sales and in the size of the workforce. In order to fill its manufacturing quotas, Siemens partly used forced labor. After World War II, Siemens began rebuilding in Germany first, but gradually moved into foreign countries from the 1950s on. Technological advances, expansion into new business segments, and the reestablishment of a presence in traditional export markets laid the foundations for the companys return to its old strength in the world marketplace in the 1960s. To give the company a stronger identity and constant market presence, Siemens & Halske, Siemens-Schuckertwerke AG, and Siemens-Reiniger-Werke AG, the three main companies in the group, merged in 1966 to form Siemens AG. In 1969, the companys main business segments were assigned to six largely independent operating groups, creating an organizational structure that has been adapted on numerous occasions through to the present day.
Today Siemens is a transparent and significant contribution to the future of electrical engineering and electronics.

This department does the work of designing of circuit diagrams. They usually manufacture the panels of the railways which includes Auxiliary converters for Locomotives and AC Coaches, traction converters for locomotives and EMU, control cabinets for locomotives. They design the structure of the product and the make the BOM required for it.
3. Logistics
These departments plan out the working of various departments. So as to complete the project with in stipulated time limit. It also planes and orders the quantity of raw material required for it.
4. Purchase & strategic Purchase
The Purchase department contacts the various vendors & tries to procure the best material at the least cost. The vendors are selected only out of the certain approved ones. The authorized buyers from purchase department creates a Purchase Order (P.O.) when purchase requisition is received which automatically gets created by Spiridon when Production Order is created by concerned departments such as System Logistics.
5. Receiving
This department receives the material from the vendor. Here the quantity of the material is checked & then forwarded to the QI for inspection. The rejected material from QI is also received by receiving and is then forwarded to the vendors again.
6. Quality Incoming
QI inspects the material received by the company. The material is checked according to the specification supplied by the customer. Once the inspected & accepted the material is then send to the stores from where it can be taken for use. The rejected material is then send back to the receiving department.
7. Stores
The store of Nashik SIEMENS is divided in three categories, Electronics, Mechanical and direct order stores. The material cleared by QI is sent in the stores, and is then consumed by various Manufacturing departments as required. It maintains the record of the uses of material. Electronic and mechanical stores keep the inventory for standardized components whereas the direct order store keeps the components required for the fulfillment of a specific order. Siemens uses Spiridon for maintaining the entire record of stores.
8. Manufacturing
This department does the work of assembling the products like panels, power supplies, signaling group etc. It consists of 2 departments. Viz. Product Department and Systems Department. The Structure for both the departments is explained below.

ADVANTAGES OF PLANNING
1) Minimize Risks:-
Planning helps to minimize or reduce risks. Potential risks are forecasted and necessary protective devices are decided well in advance. If the risk occurs, then the protective devices are put into practice. The protective devices may reduce the impact of risks.
2) Facilities Coordination: -
The plans of one department are coordinated with the plans of all other concerned departments. This brings in unity among the various departments of the organization. In the other word, the concerned departments work in close harmony in the implementation of the plans.
3) Facilities Organization: -
Planning enables a manner to organize the resources properly. If required, ha makes arrangement for additional resources in order to achieve the planned targets. In other words, the plans give a proper idea of the required resources to implement the plans. This facilitates proper organizing of resources.
4) Facilities proper direction: -
Planning provides proper direction in which the activities need to be conducted. This facilitates the manager to the direct his subordinates as and when required. Clear-cut direction is given so that the subordinates undertaken the right at the right time.
5) Facilitates Control :-
A plan provides a yardstick against which actual performance can be compared. Such comparison will enable to find out the deviation from the plans. If deviations are noticed, the manager may take the right corrective steps at the right time.
6) Generates efficiency: -
Planning enables optimum utilization of resources. All the resources-i.e., physical and human resources are put to their best use. The optimum utilization of resources enables a company to achieve highest possible returns at lowest possible costs.
This department mainly deals with:-
Planning for raw material & component
Procurement of it
Maintenance of stores
Vendor development
PROCEDURE FOR SYSTEM LOGISTICS
An input for system logistics is an Advanced Intimation (AI) with Critical Equipment list (CEL) or C1/C2. Normally AI/CEL is the first input followed by C1/C2. All these inputs should come from E & C. Direct input from sales should not be treated as input. All input regarding the order should flow through E & C.
On receipt of AI / CEL, which is first input to the logistics, following steps to be followed? E-mail containing the fax copy of delivery confirmation based on AI, should be send to concern sales engineer with copy to group leader of sales and NW/SYST/L.
Then check in the system whether system related material is created for particular order. If the system related material is created in the system then no. Of Production orders to be created is equal to the no. of system related material for the particular order. Basically these materials are as per clients PO and billable item in sales order. This process of creating no. of production orders will help in two ways. More the production order will help to staggered loading, easy material handling and material tracking. If systems related material is not created, then it will create in the systems.
Request for creating the work scheduling view and a routings to be send to NW/TOP/IE. The mail to TOP/IE should include following information.
1. Material number on which the production order is to create.
2. Order type i.e. AUTS or DRVS.
3. No. of panels and make of the panels.
4. Major/critical components, which decide the amount of work, involved. For PLC it can be number of front connectors and for drives it can be number of drives with rating (KW in case of AC drives And Amperes in case of DC Drives.)
5. Based on the above information NW/TOP/IE will be put approximate SMH (Standard Man Hour) in the routing. These approximate SMHs will be within 10% tolerance of actual SMH (which will be calculated bases on actual drawing).
6. NW/TOP/IE will inform concern order processor of activity.
Create the production order / orders of the system related material. While creating the production orders following steps should be followed.
1. The finished date of production order should be the delivery confirmed on AI. If the delivery confirmed in the form of the week, then we will consider the delivery date as first day of the week.
2. Then schedule the order using the schedule key. System will suggest the starting date of the production order. Normally the system will consider one operator for one work station (structure, wiring, testing, finishing). But considering volume of work and the no. of panel, the number of operation can be decided using past experience. The same should put in the system. For putting the no. of operators (this is called as splitting) in the system go to operations. Select the operation in which you want to put the split. Then go to operation details. Then select splitting and put no of splits as what you have decided. Then select Splitting and put no. of split as what you have decided. Again come back to the main screen and schedule the order again. This is your final requirement date. The scheduling type must be 2 for all production orders.
3. Populate the components in the production order as per CEL. In case of PLC only rack, power supply and rails should be entered in the production order.
4. Segregate the components by activity as follows.
0010 Structure
0020 Wiring
0030 Testing
0040 Finishing
Inform purchase regarding creation of production order to purchase with detailed schedules. Kindly ask imported drive and module delivery in the month when the dispatch of order is planned. This is not applicable for the material, which is MUST for structure assembly.
As per the procedure, after 3-4 days take order report of the production order using transaction MD4C. Check whether all PRs are converted into PO. If not, give reminder to purchase for the same. Keep track till all POs are converted to PO.
Take note of the schedule for submission of C1/C2 as per AI.Using your own tools of follow up, shoot an mail to E&C if C1/C2 do not received on the committed date. Keep follow up with E&C for C1/C2. If the C1/C2 drawings are getting further delayed, ask purchase to re schedule the order. Our normal lead-time for C1/C2 received to ready for inspection is 60 days. According re-scheduling the deliveries of imported items. Keep on doing this activity till C1/C2 are received.
The re scheduling of purchase order is must for all the C1/C2 delayed cases.
Following procedure to be followed on receipt of C1/C2:
E-mail containing the fax copy of delivery confirmation based on C1/C2, should be send to concern sales engineer with copy to group leader of sales and NW/SYST/l. The original copies to be sent to concern sales engineer through internal mail.
One copy of drawing to be sends to TOP/IE for estimation of exact SMH immediately. The entry of this outgoing document to be kept in the department.
If number of items is more in one production order, it is perfect to make consolidation of material required.
After consolidation is over, in case of more than one item, open the production order & make Production order change using CO02 transaction.
After entering BOM in systems (making of PRs) information is to be sending to the purchase.
The detail introduction to the documents used for System Logistics.
What is BOM?
The Bill Of Material (BOM) module specifies what materials; components, assemblies and sub-assemblies are used in making the product. Each component in the BOM is linked in parent child component relationship. The record of the BOM module are usually oriented in the tree structure with level zero being the product and each consecutive level breaking the product into sub-assemblies. It offers you the ability to see where the part is used, how many are required and what level of assembly is needed.
Uses of BOM: -
The BOM module is being the core one that accessed by the different programs to generate the order, PR, an invoice and any other report that needs itemized product information.
Assumption: -
1. BOM is entered, maintained, changed by engineering group concerned with the relevant product.
2. Other users in planning, production and finance etc., will access the relevant programs to extract data from the BOM.
3. SAP is responsible for the enhancement and maintainance of programs. SAP will also provide the facilities for long printouts and debugging.
What is PR?Purchase Requation should be prepared when material is created and the BOM is planned. It is forwarded to only corresponding vendor.
The planning department is planned out the quantity required for the completion of the project. It first calculates the initial requirement, which is forwarded to the purchase department for purchasing. The planning department also plans the schedule for different consignments of the project to be dispatched. It also monitors the working of the various departments, especially concerning with the production of the project.
Purchase Order (P.O.): -
Once the source is finalized, the buyer places the P.O., -i.e.; purchase order. It is the document, which gives the GO AHEAD instruction to the vendor for commencing the manufacturing the items listed in it.
ENTERPRISE RESOURSE PLANNING
Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP) system has installed the Systems Application Product (SAP) For Worldwide SIEMENS. This is the German Package.
As the name indicates, this SAPsystems is an organized method of collecting, storing, Analyzing and reporting information on quality to assist decision makers at all levels i.e. planning level. Production level. Purchase level, etc.
Inputs for a SAP include:
Information on purchase parts and materials: -
Examples are receiving inspection data, data on store records, vender survey information, and vender rating data, item codes and description of material.
Process data:
These data cover the entire in-plant manufacturing inspection system from the beginning of manufacturing upto final dispatch clearance.
Final inspection data
This data is the routine data at a final inspection.
Result of Audits
This includes both product audit and system audits.
Thus, the scope of SAP may vary from a simple system covering in-process inspection data to a broad system covering all information applicable to the overall effectiveness of a product.
SAP attempts to provide all the information need of management through one integrated system.
Impact of SAP on Planning
The SAP provides material information that can be useful as bases for Planning.
Example: - Item code, Description, Challan No, GRN no., location in the stores etc.
Information on quality and the quantity can be stored in the SAP and changes can be entered directly. The information can be drawn out as needed.
Example: - Making purchase requisition report and make changes according in it with BOM i.e. bill of material released by project groups.
Data analysis module can be incorporated in the SAP.
Example: - Bill of Material entry.
Recently developed hardware and methods for data collection and transmission can be applied to material information.
THE SAP TRANSACTIONS USED IN LOGISTICS FOR PRODUCTION:-
MM01:- Create Material.
This transaction is used to create the new material after receiving the AI or C1/C2. We are copying the any old material and linked on it to create the new one.
For creating we have to select the Views regarding MRP, Logistics, Accounting, and Costing & Delivery
MM03:- Display Material
This transaction gives us the detailed information of created material in this we are come to know the basic data, MRP, Price, Stock Qty; Material Purchase Document, Work scheduling etc. information.
CA01:- Create Routing.
When the new material is created Logistics is informed that to TOP+ / IE . They collect the material no., Panel type, Panel qty., major/critical components list etc. based on this they will put approximate SMH & create the routing.
VA03:- Display sales order.This transaction is giving us the information about the material entered in this. I.e. Clients name, qty, description of the panel (material) etc. This helps us to see the details but we cannot process in this.
CO01:- Production Order Create.
To enter the BOM & to make production order change we use this transaction. After creation of material in MM01 the order was released. Then to make PO we create the Production order number. We are scheduled the order in this transaction.
CO02:- Production order change
We have to use this transaction after creating the Production order in CO01. Entire BOM is entered & material is planned through this order. Sometimes the CI (clarification indents) is received after BOM then to make the change in the production order CO02 transaction Is used.
CO03:- Read production order.(Production order display)
The changed production order is visible in this transaction. But we are not able to make the production change.
VL01:- Create Delivery.
This transaction is used for creating the delivery & to take the output. After taking the output the DI is printed & the order is declared as technically & commercially completed.
Transaction used for Material resources & Planning
LS24:- Stock Per Material.
By using of this transaction we are able to find the out the material Storage Location (Bin) as well as stock quantity. After putting the command we have to run the transaction. In SAP systems there is a item code for each material, we have to pyt that no. in the space given to material.
MD04:-Current stock/requirement list
By using this transaction we are come to know the stock of particular material and we are also find out the reservation of the particular order for that material.
Above, the initial screen is shown & the screen on which the available Qty is seen & the reservation seen that is ahead.
ME5K: - Purchase Requisitions When the material is created after receiving the AI or C1/ C2. we are making the purchase requisition. By using this transaction we are came to know, all PRs are made or not.
This also gives us the record of converted PRs to POs.
ME2K :- Purchase Document
Here we can find out the material received in the Nashik works on PO, we also come to know that any PO is opened for particular order.
MB51 :- Display Material Document
This transaction is useful to find out the documentation data of any material. Its incoming quantity, reserved quantity in plant etc.
Structure assembly or Manufacturing Dept.: -
This is the very basic department of System. It deals with the component mounting in the panel.
In the structure assembly of the panel the components are mounted on GI (Galvanized iron) Sheet, in which all the heavy components are involve, like Drives, Switch Fuse Units, Main Contactors & Auxiliary Contactors, PVC (Poly Venal Chloride) cable channel for cable bunches, MCBs & MPCBs etc.
This mounting is carried out on the basis of Front View & Equipment layout given in the main drawing. This layout is prepared considering suitable wiring Routine of that panel. The front view & equipment layout is shown ahead.

BUSBAR JOINTING
1. Types of bus bar joints are:
Aluminum to Aluminum
Aluminum to Copper
Aluminum to Silver platted copper
Copper to Copper / Silver plated copper
2. Manufacturing Precautions:
It should be checked whether any deformation like burr, bulging, dents exist on contact surface. These defects give rise to higher contact resistance & consequently higher temperature rise at the joint. Hence they should be removed before proceeding further.
3. Preparation of contact surface:
In case of joints mentioned under point no 1 above, the following procedure should be followed except that silver platted contact surface should not be brushed.
Brushing:
Contact surface should be thoroughly brushed with steel wire brush so that Aluminum oxide film is removed which is non-conducting. Brushing may also be necessary in case of copper bus bar to ensure clean surface. For handling of copper & aluminum, it is absolutely necessary to use separate sets of tools. Use a steel brush for cleaning contact face until the surface is well roughened. Sand, glass & emery paper or cloths are not allowed. The cleaned surface must be larger than the connecting faces.
Greasing
The contact surface should be covered with thin layer of conducting grease to prevent ingress of dust, moisture, and chemicals.
The greasing is necessary to avoid oxidation of contact surface due to air & moisture. The oxidation of Aluminum leads to higher contact resistance & heating. Hence the contact surface should be greased immediately after brushing.
4. In case of joints between Aluminum & Silver plated copper, only Aluminum surface should be brushed. The greasing, jointing, & tightening procedures remain same as given above. However, copper Aluminum Bimetallic sheet have to be inserted between two contact surfaces. It should be of same size of overlapping surface of joints. Both sides of these Cupal sheets. The Cupal sheet is necessary to avoid corrosion due to galvanic action.
5. Tightening:
The bus bar connections should be done by using plane/spring washers on bolt side as well as on nut side & high tensile bolts /nuts. This is necessary to achieve required torque of 55-70 NM.
6. Re tightening:
On account of the yield of aluminum, all screw joints are to be re-tightening 24 hours after commissioning & again after 4 weeks as well as once every year.
Whenever joints is opened for a long time proper precautions as mentioned in above points 2 to 5.
Wiring
The wiring is another main function in the panel manufacturing. The wiring is done on the basis of the wiring diagram given in the drawing. There are basically two main types of wiring diagram.
i. Single line diagram.
ii. Three line diagram.
1. Single line diagram :
This gives the basic idea of the automation Systems. The flow of supply & the Drive action is described in this.
2. Three line diagram :
This is the main wiring diagram. It is divided in three parts i.e.
i. Power Wiring.
ii. Control wiring
iii. Signal wiring.
WIRE ROUTING
In general the wiring in the panels can be divided in three broad categories.
1. Power Wiring:
This includes wiring of main incoming MCCB / Switch Fuse Unit, chokes, converters, fuses, main AC -DC contactors, outgoing fields etc. Care should be taken not to run the control wire bunches or the signal wire bunches parallel to the wiring.
2. Control Wiring:
Control wiring is the wiring done mostly on control circuit, auxiliary contacts of main contactors, circuit breakers, overload trips, push buttons, incoming of fuse monitors etc. This bunch should run separately and away from power & signal cables.
3. Signal Wiring:
Signal Wiring is the one that carries a voltage that is generally less than 60V ac or 75V dc. This wire bunch has to be run separately and away from the other two.
4. Since it is difficult for the wiremen to know the voltages carried by the wires, all wires going to electronic circuit, Input / output and analog module of simatic S5 and S7. But not all the wires are signal wires going to the electronic cards, drives etc. There are some wires that go to relay contacts or power supply transformer in the electronics circuit and carry 415V or 240V ac. These wires are necessarily control wires and have to be separated from the other signal wires.
In short
Power wiring, control wiring and signal wiring should be separated from each other.
The bunches should be run as far from each other as possible. If they have to come neater then they should be perpendicular to each other and in case it is unavoidable that they run parallel to each other then as far as possible there should be a minimum distance of 100mm between the two.
Sometimes the connections are so far & the wiring between that points are difficult for wireman, at that time the wires are connected to the control terminals & from there it is forwarded to the main end point.
WIRING & CONTROL TERMINALS DETAILS
1. The length of the din rail shown in the layout should be able to incorporate the number of terminals required to be mounted in the panel.
Physical sizes of the terminals generally used (Make-Connect well) are as follows: -
Size Width
4 sq. mm 6mm
10 sq.mm. 10 mm
If terminal of any other make are to be used, check the physical dimension in the respective catalogue.
2. Care should be taken that the control terminals are not coming near switch fuse unit or any other power terminals.
3. If the number of terminals cannot be accommodated in the given space then distribution bus (like Rapid terminals bus which is suitable for power distribution up to rating 10A, 4way, 6way & 12 way) can be used.
4. The terminals of electronics and control should be segregated. As far as possible, terminals for electronics signal cables shall be mounted on the left hand side & other control terminals shall be mounted on right hand side of the panel.
5. The terminals of AC/DC or with different voltage levels, shall be segregated using partition plate or by spacing them apart.

b. T-type 1.5 & 2.5 sq mm for cables for control wiring.
EMERGENCY SWITCH IS PROVIDED THEN IT WILL MOUNTED IN THE CENTRE OF SECOND ROW
PILOT LAMPS
1. The color GREEN should be used for pilot lamp to indicate the motor is STOPPED or the circuit is OPENED
2. Where there are two pilot lamps the pilot lamp for STOP should be colored as GREEN and pilot lamp for ON should be colored as RED
3. If there is a pilot lamp for indication of stop and several other for start, as for example forward and reverse, for full speed and reduced speed, only the stop pilot lamp should be colored GREEN

TEST FIELD
The testing of the automation panels to reach the international standards is performed in this dept.
The various tests carried out are as follows:
Visual test:
This test involves visually checking the structure of the panel and components according to the part list (BOM),sometimes the components like MCBs or Fuse links are shortfall then such components are assembled other than real one in Partlist,that is called Dummy Supply.
Lay out checking:
This test involves checking whether the components mounted are as per the part list.
Continuity test:
This test is carried out to check whether there is continuity in the circuit, there is no short circuit, loose connection etc.
High voltage test:
This test is given to check whether the circuit can be operated properly at high voltage ranging from 0.5-2.5 KV, which is applied depending on the capacity.
Function test:
Giving the supply & connecting the output of the drive to the motor and checking whether the automation panel is functioning properly carry out this test.
If there is a PLC in the circuitry the programming it accordingly & then checking the output.
After all these tests are performed then the panel is stamped and sends for dispatch.
