9 Agenda ALSTOM & The Power Plant Training Center Why Did We Go The 3D Road Experiences Gained Along The Way So ~ What Did It Bring Us The Future Summary Presentation title - 11/04/ P 9

10 Why Did We Go The 3D Road The Global Field Service Network has more than 4000 Field Service personnel, on all continents that require training Presentation title - 11/04/ P 10

11 Why Did We Go The 3D Road Our Vision ~ Our Mission Increase field service efficiency & safety Increase learning efficiency Allow local training solutions worldwide Initiative for a 3D Virtual Power Plant Training Use engineering s 3D models for an integrated training solution: Dassault Systèmes - 3DVIA Provide learning modules for promotion, introduction and overview, and also for advanced skill specific training Presentation title - 11/04/ P 11

12 Why Did We Go The 3D Road Information Technologies Synergies Alstom uses CATIA for the design of their turbines CATIA data imports into 3DVIA ~ no 3rd party conversions necessary Integrated Process Design Engineering Documentation Training Sustainable Easier distribution of up-to-date material via the ALSTOM servers Presentation title - 11/04/ P 12

13 Why Did We Go The 3D Road Training Purposes Safety Visualization of operations to be done with components having weights of over 200 tonnes Efficiency & Clarification 3D models are extremely efficient for visualization of processes and sequences Presentation title - 11/04/ P 13

14 Why Did We Go The 3D Road Instructional Purposes In The Field Mobility Field Service Laptops Smart Phones Tablets Increase Working Efficiency Step-by-step visual instructions Clarity Of Instructions No language barriers Field Service Mechanics at Kaeng Khoi, Thialand Presentation title - 11/04/ P 14

15 Agenda ALSTOM & The Power Plant Training Center Why Did We Go The 3D Road Experiences Gained Along The Way So ~ What Did It Bring Us The Future Summary Presentation title - 11/04/ P 15

16 Experiences Gained - Positive Possibilities Quicker & Clearer Communication No language barriers Different technical backgrounds Visualize the impossible Animate sequences that would not normally be possible Presentation title - 11/04/ P 16

17 Experiences Gained - Challenging Information Technologies Model Data Sizes & Complexity Over 30 million triangles! Hardware Limits Graphic Card & Processing RAM Different Model Detail Levels Creation of 3 different simplification levels Lo-Definition: Mid-Definition: Hi-Definition: Multiple Components Single Components Objects & Documentation Presentation title - 11/04/ P 17

18 Experiences Gained Additional Scopes Divisions Of Work Additional Processes Exporting / Converting and Storage of CATIA data in additional formats for 3DVIA.CATPart &.CATProduct.SMG (High-, Mid-, and Low- Simplification) ALSTOM Engineering CATIA V5 Parts & Projects File Formats:.CATPart.CAT Product NEW Format:.SMG (Lo-, Mid-, Hi-) VPDM Teamspace CATIA Data +.SMG (Lo-, Mid-, Hi-) Power Plant Training Center 3DVIA Composer Training Documentation O&M Documentation 3DVIA Composer O&M Documentation Presentation title - 11/04/ P 18

19 Experiences Gained - Confirmation Training 3D models do not replace hands-on learning or training on real equipment But they are a valuable addition towards the participant training mix: Blended Learning Bottleneck: Production capacity vs. Demand from the trainer community Trainers increasingly need visualizations: Empower the trainer to create their own 3D visualization by themselves Presentation title - 11/04/ P 19

20 Agenda ALSTOM & The Power Plant Training Center Why Did We Go The 3D Road Experiences Gained Along The Way So ~ What Did It Bring Us The Future Summary Presentation title - 11/04/ P 20

21 What Did It Bring Us Strong Positive Interest Within The Trainer Community Small, self contained application programs Dynamic visualizations Show pre-defined sequences, i.e. assembly, disassembly Allow to emphasize details Interactive views for augmenting training presentations Willingness to study has increased _ Presentation title - 11/04/ P 21

22 What Did It Bring Us Reduce Service Time For Our Turbines Information exchange is more effective Visualizations describe working steps Misunderstandings are minimized Shorter briefing times required No translation restrictions Safety on-site has increased _ Presentation title - 11/04/ P 22

23 What Did It Bring Us Refreshing Our Market Image From: Only 2D Technical Drawing with extensive Technical Documentation and written Working Instructions To: 3D animated working instructions Dynamic visualizations Lean processes Strengthening competitiveness Presentation title - 11/04/ P 23
