Factory Acceptance Test as project milestone
An important milestone of each transformer project is the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT). This process is proof that the equipment is manufactured according to the contract specifications and ready to be installed on site. Normally the FAT must be conducted formally and be witnessed by the customer. However, as there are some instances where this isn’t possible, the Siemens Transformers factory in Mexico offers a unique opportunity for customers based outside of Mexico to witness the FAT without the need to travel.First factory with live remote monitoring system
Siemens Transformers Mexico is the first transformer factory worldwide to offer a live remote system for FATs. As a preparation, about twelve cameras have to be installed in the factory. The customer can then watch the FAT from their own location. The cameras provide high quality video so that the remote experience can replace an on-site factory visit to witness the FAT.
