Matthias Weischer, Head of Automation & Electrical Engineering Münsterland: "This order is an important milestone for the automation sector and the cooperation between thyssenkrupp Marine Systems and BU Polysius. Together with the Kiel team and our many years of experience in automation, we are facing the new challenges and look forward to the successful execution of this order."
Michael Gottschalk, Head of Automation, adds: "It took a long time to conclude the contract successfully. The first project day took place in Kiel on February 27, 2018. In the end, however, the goal-oriented cooperation with our colleagues from the Service Revamps department paid off. In addition, we were able to build on the important know-how of our Kiel colleagues in the technical and commercial areas. They accompanied us throughout the project and provided excellent support."
The scope of delivery of the Polysius BU essentially consists of:
- Application software for the control system with an adapted module library for the navy
- Control and monitoring of the ship's technology in various main sections of the submarine, except for the steering system here
- PLC technology for the control level
- Interface equipment and uninterruptible power supply
- Documentation
- Training of the driving teams
- Support during commissioning and, as an option, also during sea trials of the submarines
