Siemens Transmission & Distribution Selects Safeguard

Siemens Transmission & Distribution is a division of Siemens AG, the world’s largest conglomerate. Focus for Transmission and Distribution lies in the Energy sector, including innovative solutions for the sustainable use of energy.

Power Transmission provides products and solutions in the high-voltage field such as High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems, substations, switchgear and transformers. Power Distribution’s solutions range from the automation of power grids, to products including medium-voltage switchgear and components.

Following a rigorous selection process, Siemens are to replace their existing database with Rivo’s Safeguard solution, initially for accident and incident management. The implementation of Safeguard will substantially improve the collation of incident data, ensure prompt investigation of incidents, dramatically enhance trend analysis, whilst ensuring corrective actions are managed quickly and appropriately. The configurable nature of Safeguard will enable management to capture the exact information they require and produce KPI reports in real-time, helping to improve operational performance.
