挑战
Universal Forest Products 在全球拥有 130 家工厂，每家工厂都独立运营。最初，只有一家工厂拥有 CMMS/EAM 系统，少数工厂拥有纸质工作单系统，但大多数工厂根本没有系统。各工厂的维护人员也各不相同，从一两个人到 15 到 20 人的团队不等。缺乏正式的预防性维护系统对工厂的生产力产生了影响。意外故障导致昂贵的维修和加班费用。管理层没有精确的方法来确定维护费用。随着工厂引入更先进的设备，按照制造商的建议对设备进行维护变得至关重要，以便保留保修并实现预期的生产力增长。
关于客户
Universal Forest Products, Inc. 是零售、工业和建筑市场领先的工程木材和建筑材料制造商和经销商。其产品包括用于家居美化的天然木材、复合木材和塑料产品、用于工业和农业的托盘和容器、特种混凝土成型产品、用于现场建造和移动房屋行业的预制屋顶和地板桁架以及墙板。UFPI 成立于 1955 年，总部位于密歇根州大急流城，在北美、欧洲、亚洲和澳大利亚设有分支机构。这家上市公司的收入超过 30 亿美元，拥有约 10,000 名员工。
解决方案
在整个公司范围内采用单一的 CMMS/EAM 解决方案是当务之急。2012 年，执行副总裁和制造部门副总裁开始寻找能够满足 UFPI 需求的系统。Aptean TabWare EAM 之所以被选中，是因为它具有标准流程和工作流程的全功能、易用性和总拥有成本。公司设立了专门的维护系统负责人作为单一联系点，以简化 TabWare 的实施和系统用户培训。拥有一个拥有合适技能的人使实施更容易规划、安排和支持。公司认为，让员工接受系统的最佳方式是尽早“参与其中”。为此，EAM 系统负责人检查了每个用户角色在系统中会做什么，以便将培训重点放在他们的具体职责上。培训环境中呈现的场景模拟了每个用户角色。然后，新用户开始使用 TabWare，将实际工作订单输入实时系统以强化学习。

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
