New potentials through innovative technologies
Content Overview
Digital transformation
for more transparency and sustainability
Changing legal framework conditions in terms of sustainability as well as rising energy prices but also increased demands on your own risk management increasingly require you to operate your plants highly efficiently. This includes aspects such as continuous optimization of downtimes, maintenance and storage costs, or energy efficiency, for example. At the same time, it is important to act as flexibly as possible in the face of increasing pressure from changes in the market, competitors or technologies. The basis for successful long-term business is transparency and efficient processes.
Only a company-wide view of all available data, such as plant conditions, costs or key figures, enables rapid and qualitatively better decisions. Digitalization offers a wide range of solutions that support plant operators in bringing the necessary transparency to the processes and key figures of the plant and at the same time making their own work planning and execution more efficient. Based on an enterprise asset management system, the possibilities currently range from the targeted use of sensors and condition monitoring to the establishment of an industrial IoT (IIoT) and the analytical support of asset sustainability performance management.
Enterprise Asset Management
Implementing an enterprise asset management solution at a facility leads to fewer downtimes and higher availability. This results in increased efficiency, improved asset performance, and lower costs. Strategies such as predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, and preventive maintenance are used to reduce downtime, extend the service life of assets, and improve profitability.
Digital Assistance Systems
Our EAM solutions offer a wide range of digital tools, such as mobile applications and augmented and virtual reality technologies, to make mobile maintenance and servicing of assets more effective and efficient. With our mobile apps, workers on site have quick and easy access to relevant information anytime, anywhere, and can document activities directly at the asset. AR and VR technologies improve the accuracy and efficiency of maintenance work and help optimize maintenance processes.
Managed Services
With our Managed Services, we ensure the reliable and secure operation of IBM Maximo and the Maximo Application Suite (MAS) in the cloud.
We handle the maintenance, monitoring, and further development of your systems so you can focus on your core business.
Standardized service packages with clearly defined scopes of service ensure transparency, stability, and predictable costs. This creates a future-proof foundation for efficient and modern asset management.
Field Service Management
Efficient field service management integrates scheduling, mobile execution, and reporting into a seamless service process.
In many companies, however, these processes are spread across multiple systems. Information is missing, coordination is done manually, and visibility into ongoing assignments is limited.
With digital solutions, you can manage your service assignments centrally and efficiently, from planning to evaluation. Technicians can access all relevant information on the go, even offline, document their work directly in the field, and report results without delay. This creates a seamless information base that enhances transparency and improves the first-time fix rate.
OPTIRA – DIGITAL DISMANTLING SOLUTION
Nuclear decommissioning projects are characterised by long durations, high complexity and a large number of stakeholders. It is therefore essential to closely integrate the various decommissioning phases, such as shutdown, dismantling and waste processing.
One challenge here is that relevant data is often spread across multiple systems. OPTIRA is our digital decommissioning solution, which brings together planning, optimisation and waste tracking in a single integrated solution. It is based on three modules: Planner, Optimizer and Waste Tracker.
Revision and downtime management
Costs
Time
By optimising the planning of maintenance windows in terms of time, resources and costs, we can ensure that maintenance work is planned and carried out efficiently, and that downtime is kept to a minimum.
Our EAM solutions provide tools and features that enable companies to optimise the use of resources such as personnel and materials. At the same time, potential hazards and appropriate precautions are taken into account to meet HSE requirements and ensure the safety of those involved.
Space Management
Space management combines Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to help companies organize and optimize their resources. It helps identify synergies and conflicts between activities and manage restricted areas, storage areas and temporary assignments. CAD connections allow easier management of plans and drawings indoors, while map connections from GIS systems outdoors can provide a more accurate picture of the distribution of assets and resources across the area, including additional dimensions such as weather, weather forecasts or other environmental factors.
Asset Performance Management
Asset Performance Management (APM) encompasses the capabilities of data collection, integration, visualization, and analysis with the explicit goal of improving asset performance and operational behavior. An initial approach to APM includes a variety of elements such as maintenance and reliability analyses. Advanced APM solutions, such as predictive maintenance systems, fault diagnostics, and asset optimization, help improve asset performance and make operations more efficient. By leveraging artificial intelligence, our solutions analyze large volumes of data in real time. This enables early detection of anomalies and efficient planning of maintenance measures to prevent unplanned downtime.
Digital Factory & EAM
The combination of enterprise asset management (EAM) and the digital factory provides companies with a comprehensive view of their assets and processes. This enables faster responses to changes and improved decision-making through real-time data and analytics. With this combination, maintenance activities can be optimized and made more efficient. Faults can be detected early and corrected before they lead to failure. This maximizes asset reliability.
Digital Planning and Construction Processes
Digital design and construction processes, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and digital twins can already provide added value and lay crucial foundations in the design, construction and conversion of plants. IIoT sensor technology can be placed in the plant to enable remote monitoring and control of construction projects and, most importantly, set the stage for advanced condition monitoring and asset performance management. Digital twins use models and data from the real plant to represent, predict and optimize its performance. Virtual reality solutions offer simulation possibilities already in the construction phase.
Analytics Observability
Applying the concepts of observability and analytics in the field of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) offers a wide range of benefits. Observability enables organisations to monitor their assets in real time and identify potential issues at an early stage, allowing them to carry out proactive maintenance and repairs. This helps to minimise downtime and maximise the service life of assets. The integration of analytics into EAM provides deeper analysis of operational data to identify trends and patterns. These insights help companies optimise business processes and make data-driven strategic decisions.
