Chemical suppliers are at different stages of a passive maintenance transition

The digital maintenance technology of today's chemical industry can improve the performance of enterprises in the global competitive environment.

For many chemical suppliers, digitization can be a confusing word. A simple definition is that digitization is the use of digital technology to change business models and provide new revenue and value creation opportunities; it is a process of transferring to digital business.

According to the latest MarketResearch.com Blog in the chemical industry trend, digital technology can help chemical suppliers in many aspects, such as capturing key data and drawing insights, at a lower cost, to improve production, arrange preventive maintenance, minimize downtime, promote accurate inventory planning, prevent shortage.

After reading the interest areas pointed out by the market research blog, as mentioned in the previous paragraph, a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) like maintenance connection is the first step for chemical suppliers to go digital, because it provides value in three key areas:

Collect assets and maintenance data, provide reliable reports and KPIs, transform them into operational intelligence, and help reduce maintenance costs.

Support preventive maintenance plan based on specified trigger, and provide automatic work order generation to predict and prevent unplanned downtime.

Optimize inventory management through parts serialization and integrated barcode scanning.

In operation, the application of digital technology in maintenance and other functions has improved the performance of the plant and network, and minimized downtime. According to 2017 chemical trends, the operating cost has been reduced by 2% to 10%.

Although passive maintenance has been the standard for many years, it is no longer an acceptable maintenance strategy for companies that want to excel. Chemical suppliers are in different stages of transformation from passive maintenance to passive maintenance. Some are still using paper work order system, others are using electronic form, many have implemented CMMs, but may not make full use of its ability. A CMM can lay a solid foundation for steering preventive maintenance, and ultimately predictive maintenance.
