Need to improve equipment performance despite dwindling maintenance and operating budgets?
You have a diverse asset base of mobile and fixed assets. Undesirable downtime and expensive secondary damage can cause rising operational costs. Fluctuating demand and volatile commodity pricing dictate greater efficiencies and effectiveness in asset performance. Get more reliable production from your existing mobile and fixed assets with the Ivara solution.
The complexity and number of assets, systems, data and information makes it a challenge for you to make fast and accurate decisions to manage asset performance and reliability. With hundreds of PdM tools and online monitoring systems, data from multiple systems not integrated, and many different views of asset health, it’s clear that consolidation and automated processing of condition data is becoming more and more important. EXP Enterprise automates the processing of all condition data from all sources. EXP Enterprise transforms data into real-time intelligence so you can make fast and accurate business decisions.
You have an aging workforce – it is imminent that key knowledge is leaving the company and you possess a growing need to bring maintenance & operations closer to achieve sustainability of the operation. The Ivara Work Smart methodology includes a professional facilitated process for capturing this knowledge and experience in a reliability program. The knowledge is captured within Ivara EXP Enterprise software so that it is available and leveraged as part of the daily process of managing equipment performance and reliability.
