| | Siemens supplies IT infrastructure, power engineering systems and building and process automation for Infineons semiconductor factory in Malaysia | Infineon Technologies AG is building a new plant for logic and power semiconductors for use in automobile and industrial power applications in the Kulim High Tech Park, Malaysia. Construction started in the spring of 2005, commissioning is scheduled for 2006, and it is envisaged that a total of 1,700 people will be employed at the plant. The 12-million order for Siemens encompasses the entire medium and low-voltage distribution system, the building and process automation of all buildings and plants including technical construction systems and process supply, as well as the turnkey IT infrastructure solution.
The order, from planning, through execution of all construction work, right up to commissioning, is shared by the Siemens Groups Automation and Drives (A&D), Communications (COM) and Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD). Siemens has been a provider of IT, automation and power engineering systems to the semiconductor industry in Europe and Asia since the beginning of the 90's.
The IT infrastructure customer is Infineon itself: Siemens Communications will supply the active and passive network components as well as the telecommunications system. The customer for the power and automation engineering is M+W Zander (Penang) Sdn Bhd, Malaysia.
The Simatic controllers and the Simatic PCS 7 process control system will be used as a plant-wide automation system for all building and process automation tasks - from the clean room to ancillary facilities such as high-purity water, wastewater, chemicals supply, and technical gases. The automation solution must guarantee a high degree of availability as well as round-the-clock constant conditions and media supply for cooling, air and compressed air, for example.
