 Electrification

The world of Marine & Offshore applications is changing:

increasing number of electric solutions for applications where hydraulics used to be the
preferable and applicable technology.

The market for electrics in Marine & Offshore is already divided and dominated by large
companies like eg. Siemens, ABB, VACON

Recently many acquisitions have taken place in the market of electrics, our competitors
have been expanding their portfolios and market by taking over other companies

 Standardization

Make use of synergy effects in different branches (e.g. ocean energy, metallurgy and presses)

Knowledge management: centralized Rexroth regulation concept, collect input / experiences

from different projects
Reduce interfaces and risks: more simple FMEA & easier certification process
Cost reduction: standard hard and software components (reduce engineering overhead)
Shorter delivery & commissioning time
Flexible system portfolio: complete system and sub-system possible due to modular concept
Better worldwide service concept: due to common platform concept
Competitiveness in a steady growing market
Better market positioning via common sales force for different technologies
