Effective Asset Management depends on connecting people, processes and systems through a unified digital framework. This article outlines how IndX supports organizations with strategic asset management solutions that improve visibility, optimize maintenance strategies and enable real-time operational control across industrial environments.
Challenges of Plant Maintenance & Asset Visibility
It’s no secret that companies strive to meet competitive and customer demands, meaning they must make their assets, resources and teams work smarter. Connecting workforces, whether they are in the field or on the shop floor, with a single source of information is critical to achieve effective Asset Management. With separate technology systems, it can be a challenge to get a clear picture of your end-to-end operations and business needs.
Strategic asset management solutions enable end-to-end visibility of your assets and workforce tasks, so you have the right data to make smarter decisions about where to allocate your resources. IndX provides three main areas of expertise: Management, Maintenance and Field Service Scheduling. With the right tools in place, asset management, mobile solutions and resource scheduling take the complexity out of your hands and into client-supported solutions.
Accelerate Operations in Real Time
Minimizing machine breakdowns by enabling proactive maintenance is important for the life of an asset or machine. Research shows that 80% of of employees waste an average of 30 minutes per day retrieving information that Asset Management solutions could solve. By neglecting preventative maintenance and facing other challenges like preserving infrastructure, high costs, maintaining efficiency, tracking tasks, safety and optimizing resources, teams are bound to face daily bottlenecks. Asset management plays an increasing role in companies’ strategies to maximize return on assets by ensuring asset uptime and control costs.
Choosing suitable maintenance strategies is crucial given successful asset management solutions follow latest guidelines of ISO 55001, which consistently maximizes the return on assets. With a new wave of technologies opening opportunities to tackle problems and change old habits, SAP Intelligent Asset Management (SAP IAM) provides a digital approach to collaboration through the sharing of information to drive smarter decisions, improve asset reliability and gain maximum value.
