Schad and Vanderlande develop mobile maintenance 01 October 2012

Engineering mobility firm SCHAD is partnering with Vanderlande Industries, which specialises in automated material handling systems, to offer a new maintenance system.

Vanderlande Industries Mobile Maintenance Solution (MMS) – which integrates SCADA with enterprise asset management software, such as IBM Maximo – is to be the first fruit of the partnership.

Tjarko Bouman, director of customer services at Vanderlande Industries, says that the company will use the system to improve operational performance of its site based teams.

"Vanderlande is the first automation specialist that currently has a mobility offering like this and we are delighted to be offering integrated mobile SCADA and maintenance as an enhancement to our full service solutions," states Bouman.

Using the mobile system, Vanderlande's site-based maintenance teams will have the ability to monitor system performance from any location, using any mobile device over Wi-Fi or GPRS, he explains.

Also, maintenance engineers will get full mobile capabilities, with seamless integration between their existing SCADA systems and corporate maintenance management systems.
