OKG is one of Kalmar County’s largest employers with approximately 900 employees. OKG is placed on the Simpevarp half island, 30 km north of Oskarshamn. Located here are three of Sweden’s nuclear power reactors; the Oskarshamn works 1, 2 and 3 - that OKG owns and runs. The reactors are called O1, O2 and O3 in common language. By producing ten percent of Sweden’s electricity OKG is one of the largest suppliers of electricity and base power to the Nordic electricity net.
The solution from Technia will replace five of OKG’s present legacy systems. OKG’s PLM solution gathers and systemizes all relevant information regarding equipment, specifications, service contracts and spare parts into one system. The information is updated when improvements and current maintenances of the facility are carried out. 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. There is also the dilemma of highly skilled workers going into retirement, thus invaluable knowledge is leaving the company with them. This puts not only future investments at risk, but also jeopardize quality control and regulatory requirements. The PLM-solution deals with this problem.
“This agreement is an extension of the assignment Technia received from OKG for project phase one in the beginning of 2009. We are very pleased with Technia’s performance and therefore we are signing this agreement for project phase 2 that extends over 2010”, says Ramona Hunt, Manager Information Management, OKG.
“I’m very pleased and proud of that OKG gave Technia its continued confidence. OKG is a very important customer for us in the Energy & Process segment”, says Ylva Berg.
