Manufacturing Asset Management
Hardcat’s Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) provides a solution to optimise resources like machinery, equipment, and infrastructure. By tracking and monitoring assets, companies can identify bottlenecks, reduce downtime, streamline processes, and enhance operational efficiency. By implementing a proven system to schedule regular inspections, manufacturers can be confident of reducing costly downtime and can demonstrate a history of diligent maintenance.
Enterprise asset management software for industrial asset management creates several benefits to organisations:
- Track and manage equipment and inventory, including Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices
- Effectively schedule maintenance to minimise maintenance and repair costs
- Predict and budget for future equipment and maintenance costs
- Simplify and minimise the cost of asset life cycle management
- Produce reports on current and future asset values instantly
- Reduce asset downtime due to equipment maintenance or failures
- Assign equipment and inventory to specific employees or teams
Compliance With Industrial Asset Management Requirements
Hardcat solutions provide the assurance needed to confidently handle an organisation’s governance risk and compliance obligations. As well as to facilitate the implementation of the ISO 55000 standards framework. With precise and accurate asset information about maintenance records, calibration schedules, and equipment certifications, organisations can demonstrate statutory compliance during audits and inspections, avoiding penalties, fines, and legal liabilities.
Enhanced Industrial Asset Management Productivity
Capital intensive industries spend more money on expensive assets and have to spend more of their budget on maintaining them. Hardcat solutions provide the confidence organisations need to reduce time spent on maintenance tasks and improve planning and execution. Streamline workflows, optimise inventory, leverage real-time monitoring, and utilise data analytics for cost effective maintenance. Digital transformation improvements collectively result in increased efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced overall productivity. Real strategies that can be used to increase return on capital.
- Streamline work orders – automating tasks such as work assignment, prioritisation, and tracking
- Mobile accessibility – access asset information, create work orders, and update maintenance and inventory records on the go
Reduce Waste And Increase Safety
EAM has shown to be an effective instrument for risk management, increasing safety, and environmental protection, beyond its previous use as a maintenance management system. Properly cared for assets yield better manufacturing output, more consistent product quality, and a longer duration before replacement. A sustainable, all-encompassing approach to asset management and a reduction in asset replacements are critical components for a profitable business operation. EAM is a tool for managing risk of capital assets, boosting workers health and safety, and protecting the environment.
Inventory Optimisation For Parts and Consumables
Inventory management practices can help manufacturing asset management to ensure you manage the ‘how, when, what quantity’ is used for what purposes. Maintaining optimum stock levels (not too high not too low) as well as a complete history of pricing changes and supply chain information is vital for competitiveness. Our parts and inventory tracking system keeps track of:
- Inventory allocations by locations/departments/people
- Minimum order quantities for automated reorder notifications/reports
- Stock availability for sharing of stock between organisational units/departments
- Optimised spare parts and consumables, always have the right quantity on hand
Hardcat EAM helps manufacturing asset management with health and safety compliance by ensuring that equipment meets your industry standards. This reduces legal risks and promotes a safety culture. Enjoy longer asset life cycles with increased reliability via monitoring and alerts with integration of sensors and IoT devices to monitor asset performance in real-time.
Hardcat’s software solutions assist in manufacturing asset management success and sustainability. Ensuring the safety and reliability of assets helps protect the well-being of employees and reduces the potential for workplace injuries. Our solutions integrate with your existing IT ecosystem to enable seamless data sharing and enhances overall operational efficiency. Hardcat EAM is an essential tool to help organisations address safety and compliance obligations.
