Liam Knapp, chief commercial officer at Peacock Engineering, said: “There is monumental pressure on UK businesses across all industries at this current time. Digital transformation will continue to be a shrewd investment, helping organisations to streamline processes, improve efficiencies, better plan expenditure and procurement, and capitalise on new business opportunities. Through conversations with our customers, we have recognised the need for better data management solutions and technologies that will enable our customers to benefit from better data driven decisions in their asset management strategies.”
He added: “The inability to assess and improve data can hinder an organisation's ability to change to modern maintenance strategies, such as condition-based maintenance. Our clients spend significant time and effort on data quality. On a relatively small site with a moderate level of change to static data, our clients can now redeploy a full-time employee by replacing manual, labour intensive changes which carry a significant risk of error, with process controlled, validated changes though the MX+ Data Studio interface.”
The MX+ Data Studio works with IBM Maximo Application Suite and IBM Maximo and is expected to make data management more straight forward.
MX+ Data Studio is said to enable organisations to benefit from secure data capture capabilities that promote a reduction in human error and duplication. The application’s data analysis technology highlights errors and restricts data upload until irregularities are corrected and ensures a faster upload to enterprise asset management (EAM) systems, ensuring the quality of data is maintained throughout. Through improved data capture and faster data uploads, the application will help deliver EAM strategies that give organisations a clearer view of their asset bases, helping to improve workload and maintenance scheduling and increase first-time fix rates.
Peacock Engineering co-founder Alan Cambridge said: “Cleaner, clearer data helps organisations make better informed decisions. These decisions can be felt across all operational processes, from asset management and first-time fix rates, supply chain management, procurement of new machinery, the purchasing of spare parts and ultimately improving the management of projects, teams and time.
“Our investment in our new Mx+ Data Studio application will give organisations the platform to secure their data management strategies, improve overall data quality, reduce enterprise risk, and help optimise spending and streamline business processes.”
