Service technicians working on complex industrial systems need to be able to trust the available project data. Outdated or unclear file versions complicate service work and increase the risk of errors, delays, and unnecessary downtime. They also increase the risk of errors, delays, and unnecessary downtime.
That is why Siemens Energy relies on an AMDT software solution. The system centralizes automation projects and their versions, documents changes, and provides authorized users with access to reliable, up-to-date project versions. This gives Siemens Energy a solid foundation for efficient service processes and resilient plant operations.

Oil, Gas and Energy
At its Trondheim facility, Siemens Energy develops battery systems, propulsion solutions for marine applications, and other technologies. Several teams work on associated automation projects that must be accessible to service technicians around the world.
Before implementing the AMDT solution, project files were sometimes stored locally. Consequently, updated versions did not always reach the central server promptly. Employees had to manually add dates and timestamps to ZIP files to distinguish between different project versions.
This process made it difficult to maintain visibility. Which version is current? Who made a particular change? Did service technicians in the field have access to the correct project version?
The decision to bring in the software solution from AMDT was born out of a desire for comprehensive and uniform overview for all projects and versions in production and maintenance. We also wanted to unify all automation data for all user groups, including our over-seas-based technicians, into a single system. These expectations were fully met with the introduction of this software.

Siemens Energy uses the AMDT solution to manage its automation projects on a central server located in Trondheim. Before a service visit, technicians download the necessary project to their programming device. Once the work is complete, they upload the updated version back to the central system.
This gives authorized users access to consistent, reliable data. The system automatically documents changes, clearly attributing each one to a specific user and point in time. This reduces manual work and provides greater visibility across the entire change history.
The solution also supports controlled engineering workflows. Engineers check out projects with the appropriate access permissions, make their changes, and upload the new version to the central system. If necessary, a project can be locked to prevent other users from editing it. Detailed version comparisons make identifying and reviewing changes easier.
Siemens Energy has established clear, traceable processes across engineering, production, maintenance, and global service by centrally managing its automation data.
Key benefits include:
This approach strengthens the availability and reliability of Siemens Energy’s technical data. Teams can respond faster, trace changes with confidence, and perform service work using a controlled, dependable data foundation—an essential requirement for resilient operations.
