Siemens PG Leverages Objectivity Performance for Compressor Engineering System; Objectivity/DB Performs Data Fusion for Vertically Integrated Manufacturing Process Control Application.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Productivity Improvements and Information Sharing See data conferencing. Provide the Competitive Edge Signaling continuing market growth of its real-time data Real-time data denotes information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided. Some uses of this term confuse it with the term dynamic data. management solutions for complex inter-related data, Objectivity, Inc. today announces the Power Generation Group (PG) of Siemens AG Siemens AG German electrical-equipment manufacturer. The first Siemens company, Siemens & Halske, was founded in Berlin in 1847 to build telegraph installations. is using the Objectivity/DB platform for their Compressor compressor, machine that decreases the volume of air or other gas by the application of pressure. Compressor types range from the simple hand pump and the piston-equipped compressor used to inflate tires to machines that use a rotating, bladed element to achieve Engineering System (CES) application. Objectivity/DB is serving as the storage and management knowledge-base repository for this application. CES is the result of a comprehensive in-house R&D program that allows compressor performance and rotor dynamics Rotorcraft dynamics and design is a subtle subject as it involves challenging issues in aerodynamics and mechanics. The rotor is the most complex and most important part of a helicopter. This is why it has been extensively studied during the last twenty years. to be matched for customer-specified applications. This information is housed in multiple disparate databases. Objectivity/DB is the real-time and scalable "data fusion Data fusion, is generally defined as the use of techniques that combine data from multiple sources and gather that information in order to achieve inferences, which will be more efficient than if they were achieved by means of a single source. " repository that is recognized for its ability to store and manage very large volumes of complex data for event and relationship processing within high precision applications such as Siemens PG CES. Siemens PG Meets Demanding Customer Requirements The CES design application ensures Siemens PG delivers a well-proven, fully parametric See parametric modeling, parametric symbol and PTC. , aerodynamic design that meets their clients' demanding compressor requirements. CES is used by Siemens PG engineers to build a proposal based on the customer's inquiry. This process includes the complete technical selection as well as the design calculation for each customer's highly complex industrial compressor. Siemens PG offers multiple compressor options because of the vast knowledge base of proven standard components utilized in their designs. The Siemens PG CES designed compressors are used in multiple fields including: onshore/offshore oil and gas, natural gas distribution and storage, petrochemicals, refineries, methanol methanol, methyl alcohol, or wood alcohol, CH3OH, a colorless, flammable liquid that is miscible with water in all proportions. Methanol is a monohydric alcohol. It melts at −97. , fertilizers, olefins, and general chemicals operations. The portfolio of compressors contains axial-flow compressors, single shaft compressors as well as gear type compressors that are chosen in dependence on the customer's requirements and layout of the plant components. Objectivity Delivers High-performance Data Management The Objectivity platform, which stores and manages information as objects, provides the CES application with virtually unlimited scalability, reliability, availability and flexibility with the highest performance and support for complex data types. The Objectivity C++ interface is heavily utilized for the Siemens PG CES compressor design system and in the interface that defines their manufacturing methods. This Objectivity-based design environment helps compressor engineers explore vast repositories of data to discover meaningful relationships within the design parameters. The Siemens PG system environment contains Java, C++, as well as C and Fortran applications. Siemens PG compressors combine major advantages such as high-efficiency, reliability and compact designs with shorter delivery periods and lower investment costs Those program costs required beyond the development phase to introduce into operational use a new capability; to procure initial, additional, or replacement equipment for operational forces; or to provide for major modifications of an existing capability. . Multiple different frame sizes coupled with a wide range of options form the basis for a custom made and a very cost-effective compressor product. As the underlying database used in the Siemens PG compressor design system, Objectivity/DB is providing the robust database functionality and performance that allows Siemens PG to design and deliver these industrial compressors. This highly complex application automates the predictable and repetitive tasks associated with compressor design enabling the company to focus on other business challenges. "Objectivity/DB delivers the performance and flexibility that is critical to data intensive highly automated au·to·mate v. au·to·mat·ed, au·to·mat·ing, au·to·mates v.tr. 1. To convert to automatic operation: automate a factory. 2. applications that perform analysis for complex design, modeling and process control environments," states Jay Jarrell, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Objectivity. "We are at the heart of many industry-leading manufacturing systems. Objectivity/DB is ideally suited to the stringent performance, reliability and information sharing requirements of an application like this. Vertical integration applications such as this Siemens system define production efficiencies and productivity improvements through better information sharing which is a key element for gaining competitive edge."
