Why do I need an EAM solution?
In short: to ensure the efficiency and reliability of the systems. The core objective of the EAM system is to ensure the flawless operation of your systems, and there are several important reasons for this:
- A defective system can lead to catastrophic environmental damage, such as the release of harmful substances into the natural environment
- Carelessly treated systems with visible or even invisible damage also pose a considerable risk to your employees who work directly on the machines
- Poorly functioning systems do not exploit their full potential and may therefore lead to increased waste and consequently to quality problems in the end products
- The failure of a system due to age or technical reasons sometimes means an immediate and, in the worst case, lasting loss of sales
An EAM system therefore offers three key advantages that play a major role in operations:
- It increases the technical reliability of your systems during operation – through automated and smart monitoring of systems and processes. As a result, important customer orders can always be fulfilled within the planned time frame and the customer relationship is strengthened
- You can make even better decisions about replacing or repairing individual pieces of equipment to maximize return on investment – for example, classes of equipment purchased at the same time or nearing end of life, types of equipment that may not be as effective as newer technologies, entire production lines and manufacturing facilities, or even portfolios of equipment and/or plants
- In combination with an ERP solution already in use, KENEXOS® forms a high-performance team for all strategic areas of your company, e.g. the operating costs of a plant, revenue generated, the impact on the customer experience and relationship and many more
