Effective operations and smart maintenance for industrial projects

Industrial maintenance practices are being transformed through data monitoring, smart technology and digital twins - dynamic virtual representations of your physical assets, processes or systems.

Industry services: Smart operations and predictive maintenance to optimise performance and extend asset life

Predictive maintenance for industrial equipment is becoming possible based on data delivered from the digital twin combined with artificial intelligence and machine learning. 

It allows you to forecast when equipment is likely to fail or malfunction. This in turn minimises unexpected failures and downtime, and extends the life of your equipment.

What is involved in industrial operations and maintenance?

Think about asset operations and maintenance from the early design phases of new projects. It extends for the lifetime of your asset and accounts for substantial post-investment expenditure. 
Consider how you will maintain the equipment and how often. Is the equipment easily accessible? How do you know when things are not working as planned? 

Could robotics improve safety and well-being of your team? Can you optimise the maintenance schedule of the facility using insight from IoT (internet of things) and digital twins?

Data from the digital twin drives data-driven maintenance and maintenance automation. With the right data, you can track whether operations are optimal and if the facility is working as designed. Ensure IoT infrastructure is in place, is accessible and forms part of a data collection, visualisation and analysis strategy.

The maintenance and operations solutions we provide relate to industrial assets outside battery limits (OBL). These include sewage systems, piping, motors & drivers, cooling & heating, road & rail, energy production & storage, and more. 

Our multi-disciplinary teams include process experts to ensure seamless interaction across all the support systems on your site within an integrated plan.

Why do you need industrial maintenance services?

Dashboard view of predictive maintenance insights reducing downtime and extending equipment lifespan

Smart and predictive maintenance regimes optimise operations and minimise production losses. For the past four decades, Ford Motor Company has saved many millions of euros through leveraging our expertise and Twinn Witness predictive simulation software to increase throughput and operational efficiencies at its sites. 

Systems that operate outside of your core processes are just as crucial for continuity and can safeguard your license to operate. For example, at Chemelot industrial site in the Netherlands, buffering systems in centralised water treatment facilities create opportunities for production flexibility by the industrial partners, avoiding threats to the operational license.

When introducing a new system or production line into existing facilities, it’s important to consider how it will be integrated into maintenance work processes. Standardised approaches are supported with data dashboards and automation. 

Our industrial maintenance services help you structure data collected and develop the right processes and control systems. They ensure you maintain requirements for health, safety, environment and quality (HSEQ), and improve the on-going performance and robustness of your non-core assets.
