Lifecycle Services

The service capability of your process control system is the key success criterion when it comes to making operating costs predictable and optimizing them continuously, to protect investments and thus ensure plant availability.

Reactive, proactive and preventive lifecycle services therefore ensure the service capability of the process control system in modern plants at optimized costs throughout the entire lifecycle.

The high pressure for innovation, especially through the use of IT systems that are constantly being upgraded, requires regular modernizations - even in automation. Only process control systems that can be updated/upgraded throughout their entire lifecycle can keep pace with the ongoing development of system technology at reasonable costs.

The requirements and specifications for operation of a plant are very specific, especially with a service life of 15 years and more. The service requirements are just as diverse. The SIMATIC PCS 7 Lifecycle Services provide an efficient service program for everything to do with the SIMATIC PCS 7 control system. These services can be easily integrated into individual service contracts that are customized to meet your specific requirements.

The standardized yet still flexible structure of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Lifecycle Services offers a future-proof basis for:

• Protection of your investments
• Securing plant availability
• Ability to calculate long-term maintenance costs
• Cost-optimized modernizations
