Siemens proves: Digital Data Chain saves time and costs
ID link on plant component can be scanned via mobile device
Manufacturer information on plant components crucial for operation
Various
technical goods, plant components and equipment are used in process plants. For
their correct planning, installation, commissioning, operation, cleaning,
maintenance and servicing over the entire life cycle, information is required
that is contained in the manufacturer's specifications. This information can
now be read out in the cloud in a standardized manner via a digital data chain
and made available regardless of location. Behind the Digital Data Chain is the Digital Data Chain Consortium
(DDCC), a cross-industry association of more than 50 companies in the process
industry founded in 2021. The aim is to create standards and platforms for the exchange of
information among each other. In the future, all
physical plant objects will be identifiable as an instance via a digital
nameplate – for a lifetime and across all stages of the product life cycle.
Transfer all information to the ERP system via scan
Three technologies underlie
the data consistency of the digital data chain: the automatic identification of
plant components (according to IEC 61406-1), digital manufacturer information
(according to VDI guideline 2770) for standardized data provision and a
cloud-based information platform (IEP – Information Exchange Platform). The minimum requirements for a
globally unique identification of physical objects are specified in the
international standard IEC 61406-1. Based on this standard, Siemens is
delivering more and more devices with such an ID link, which enables access to
a cloud-based backend via which the product information is provided. "The
digital data chain makes it possible for manufacturer specifications of
components to be transferred directly to the recipient's ERP during the scan in
goods receipt," says Lorenz.
In addition to the SITRANS P320 pressure
transmitter, Siemens has made further products DDC-compliant, such as the DQ 16
digital output module of the SIMATIC S7-1500 controller.

the Digital Data Chain can be found at:

Siemens will also demonstrate the implementation
of the Digital Data Chain at the upcoming Hannover Messe using practical
examples. This press release and further information
