Addnode’s Subsidiary Technia Strengthens the Position in the Process Industry with a Contract From SSAB Tunnplåt AB

Technia has signed an agreement with SSAB Tunnplåt AB in Borlänge and Luleå, concerning a delivery of a PLM Solution for facility documentation – documentation of all the equipment in the facility, how the equipment works and why it is there. The PLM solution is based on the ENOVIA SmarTeam PLM Solution from Dassault Systèmes. With this order Technia continues to expand its PLM leadership in the process industry.

The SSAB group is one of Europe’s most effective steel companies with leading competitive products that are being sold all over the world. SSAB Tunnplåt develops, produces and markets steel plate with focus on high-strength steel.

The ENOVIA SmarTeam solution that Technia will deliver to SSAB is comprised of consultancy services, software and support, and maintenance services. With help of Technia’s PLM expertise the solution will be implemented in a fast and efficient way. The order value is significant and there are options on corresponding PLM agreements for additional facilities in SSAB.

For SSAB is the information about a facility and its equipment is a basic condition to be able to operate and manage the facility in an optimal way. The new solution from Technia will help SSAB in this work. Moreover, there are high requirements from the authorities concerning safety and environmental regulations and therefore the ability to get access to the right information at the right time is a necessity for safe operations and less production stops.

With help of Technia and the ENOVIA SmarTeam PLM Solution SSAB will establish a platform where all facility related information would be consolidated into one single place. The information will be updated when improvements and current maintenances of the facility are carried out.

”We are proud that SSAB has chosen Technia after their evaluation of various suppliers. This is a confirmation both for Technia as a PLM supplier and for the ENOVIA SmarTeam PLM Solution. Technia recently started to market the ENOVIA SmarTeam PLM Solution and the strategy was to focus on the process industry - it turned out to be the right decision”, says Florian von Tiedemann, Director at Technia AB.

”I’m very pleased that SSAB has chosen our ENOVIA SmarTeam PLM Solution through our distributor Technia. SSAB is a key win and an important strategic customer for ENOVIA SmarTeam in the process industry”, Lars Lindholm, Marketing Director Dassault Systèmes concludes.
