The Product Development Company (PTC) announced Sogin has licensed PTC Windchill to centralize its product development information and standardize business processes to achieve a more efficient and safer management of decommissioning data.
Sogin was established in 1999 under the framework of the re-organization of the national electricity sector. The company is responsible for decommissioning Italy's nuclear power plants and handling their radioactive waste.
In 2008, Sogin started the IPOD (Integrazione Processi Operativi del Decommissioning) project for the integration of operative and decommissioning processes.
This project was created to centralize the management and operating data relating to its decommissioning activities, improve the integration and sharing of information and allow for data sustainability,
On the basis of IPOD functional assessment, SOGIN required an IT solution that would be able to manage the following processes:: Job management, material tracking and management.
Leveraging the PTC Product Development System (PDS) architecture, Windchill will allow Sogin to develop a repository to efficiently manage all related processes and information.
As part of the project, the company will deploy Windchill PDMLink, Windchill ProjectLink, Windchill PartsLink and PDF Creator.
PTC was chosen as "best in class" technology after a careful evaluation of the leading software solutions on the market.
During the selection process Sogin worked Comedata, a consultancy company specializing in the development, implementation and management of IT and communication systems, to make its decision.
Additionally, the project will be supported by Advantage, a PTC Certified Partner.
"We are pleased with our choice, since we believe that the PTC platform offers a comprehensive and integrated solution that is able to fully support our project," said Massimiliano Chiardoni, IT Manager at Sogin.
"The data consistency and the native web architecture of PTC Product Development System will allow safe access to information as well as real-time monitoring of the progress status of the decommissioning processes at the single nuclear sites."
"The acquisition of this new customer is particularly strategic, because it allows PTC to gain a foothold in the nuclear industry where there is an increasing need for cutting-edge IT solutions, said, Matthew McGovern, Director, product and market strategy, PTC.
"As a matter of fact, with the creation of third and fourth generation reactors, the presently active stations not complying anymore with environmental and safety standards are likely to be progressively dismantled, at the global level."
