Desk-based field studies
Before
Measurements typically require scaffolding and field studies, the production line to be shutdown, thus making construction planning and estimations difficult.
After
Field studies and measurements in elevated places or clean rooms can be part of desk-based work. This both accelerates the work and reduces the cost.
A field study of a remotely positioned plant
Before
A two-hour field study required an overnight business trip, thereby wasting the time, cost and energy of the personnel concerned.
After
PLANTAXIS® can verify the condition of a distant plant and thereby minimize the frequency of business trips!
Facility Management Function
Realizes inspections and maintenance work corresponding to respective items of the facility management of a plant
Before
The inspection standards and frequencies are inconsistent and we cannot secure the necessary time and cost of inspections or maintenance of important equipment.
After
The facility management plan and inspection/maintenance plan of a plant are linked together to ensure optimal inspections and maintenance!
Inspection Function
Inspection result data is now usable!
Before
The files of inspection results are stored at individual departments, and never reviewed. No data is exchanged between departments and nobody notices a sign of a failure until it actually happens.
After
Inspection results can be input using a tablet on-site. The results can be quickly shared with the Engineering Department and a sign of a failure is quickly identified. We could thereby prevent the failure!
Inspection results semi-permanently stored and managed.
Before
I am sure I recorded the inspection results but cannot find them.
After
The inspection results of all units within a facility are stored in PLANTAXIS®, thus ensuring they are recorded and any necessary information is now retrievable at any time!
Inspection results have photos attached to them as evidence.
Before
I am sure I recorded the inspection results but cannot find them.
After
The inspection results of all units within a facility are stored in PLANTAXIS®, thus ensuring they are recorded and any necessary information is now retrievable at any time!
Construction Function
The entire process of construction work centrally controlled.
Before
Different construction information is stored on individual PCs and the details of a construction project can therefore be difficult to find if there is not the responsible person.
After
Data items of construction projects are consistent, and the progress of work shared within the company. Now, project information is not retained by just one person.
The use of 3D data reduces both the time and cost of construction work.
Before
Whenever I was planning a construction project I had to go back and forth for measurements between the site and the office, thus wasting both my time and energy.
After
PLANTAXIS® 3D digital plant can be used to perform desk-based field studies, and then to store the measurements results. This then reduces both the necessary time and cost of construction plans!
Fixture Purchasing Function
The entire process of construction work centrally controlled.
Before
Whenever I had to purchase something, I had to perform a field study and question the manufacturer, which was inefficient.
After
Items linked to the equipment in advance can be easily selected and purchased. This significantly reduces the time needed for the purchase and helps eliminate wasted time, for example because of mistaken orders.
Data Entry Service
The data entry service of PLANTAXIS® for more reliable data entry
Before
We have an inspection plan, but, in reality, the workload of the data entry is too much and no progress is shown. We cannot therefore accumulate any inspection data and use it.
After
All the data can be fully input without wasting an employee’s time. The trend of the values, previously hidden, can now be seen!
Latest 3D data management is now possible!
Before
There are no drawings of the plant. And if there are, no renovations get reflected in them, and thus we don’t know which ones are correct.
After
The 3D data is periodically updated. We can now check the latest condition of the facility at any time.
Periodic Consultation Service
Manage a plant based on a PDCA system for improvement!
Before
We don’t know how to use the data amassed, and end up not using it for anything.
After
Data analysis by maintenance engineers enables concrete improvement measures to be reflected in the plan. Now, we can ensure the PDCA cycle is used in facility maintenance.
