Through the IFS Ultimo Operations Suite, users of EAM software are said to be able to use the available capacity more effectively and respond quickly to information needs with accessible input from first-hand sources. The suite features sections on shift handover, autonomous maintenance and downtime analysis.
The autonomous maintenance section has an accessible solution available for asset operators to perform first-line maintenance.
Kris Sage, sales director UK at IFS Ultimo, said: “Often actions, such as cleaning, inspections, lubricants or simple repairs, are carried out in practice by operators, but are not registered on IFS Ultimo’s EAM software. Actions that can easily be shifted from mechanics to operators are also often not registered. Through the autonomous maintenance section of the Operations Suite, knowledgeable operators can now complete tasks without lead times and the scarce capacity of technicians can be deployed primarily on preventive and improving maintenance.”
Operators can use Ultimo’s EAM software on a tablet or smartphone.
The company also offers its Ultimo Go app, which recognises when data has been previously entered, helping to prevent repetition. Updates to the app are also improving the follow-up of findings and measurements.
