Bachmann:

generating software standards throughout the shipbuilding industry There is a paradox facing today’s shipbuilding industry. While modularity is increasing in the structural aspects of the shipbuilding process, the use of modular software is still in its early stages. It is time for a change: Inter-system connectivity is extremely important. Many different equipment suppliers are involved with building a ship, but instead of the user working with 30 or 40 unconnected systems, each with different interfaces, it is much simpler and easier to implement just one HMI [Human Machine Interface] in the ship management system.

A timely offshore offer There is a paradox facing today’s shipbuilding industry. While modularity is increasing in the structural aspects of the shipbuilding process, the use of modular software is still in its early stages.

Bachmann’s participation in the VDMA’s ‘MTP work group’ is going a long way to answer this problem. “Our goals are faster engineering, commissioning and integration. With MTP (Module Type Package), we can realize these targets.” Standard meets challenge Bachmann has cooperated with educational institutes and numerous OEM suppliers to develop a modular automation solution, and therefore a software standard for the entire shipbuilding industry. Using its atvise® scada platform, Bachmann has already car-

ried out successful preliminary investigations to import MTP files from three different equipment manufacturers. Immediately after import, OEM’s can control their equipment according to their existing visualisation. This allows users to maintain their existing screens,
