Thank you very much informing me about benefits of PLM in nuclear or conventional power plants. Really I would like to dive deeper in this concept, if you please help me. Even for Solar, Wind Power Generations etc. can I understand the details about available methodologies in PLM or any kind of software for this or we have to customize it ?

I would like to know implementation methodologies of PLM in this stream.
Thank you.

Prashant hi, sorry for my late response. In general Solar, Wind Power generation is process. That is where the concepts of Asset Lifecycle Management apply (see my articles on this topic) . Of course the design and building is a classical PLM process, however the operations and maintenance are much more based on providing all product information through a single system using various views on the data (asset view, location view for operational and asset view and project view for projects)

best regards

Jos

Thank you for lot of information and got inspired looking at your devotion in study in different areas.

One thing I want to know and know the detailed technical things in implementation of PLM in Electricity Generation Plant.
Whther we can apply our PLM system or a kind of PLM strategy in this area ? and HOW ?

Thank you.

Prashant hi,

especially a power plant (nuclear or conventional) has a huge benefit from a PLM system which provides the single repository for all asset related data – instead of having various archives around the site and not being able to manage as-built and project engineering data in a single environment. The trigger for ALM based on a PLM system is also strongly related to the cost of labor. When the wages of employees are relative low compared to the software, owner/operators will decide to invest in more people to keep the data accurate, instead of streamlining the plant information.

Let me know if you want to dive deeper in this concept

Best Regards

Jos
