Equipment

Overview​

The Asset Management ecosystem delivers end-to-end transparency of plant floor equipment from acquisition through maintenance to final disposal. It leverages enterprise systems such as CALMS, CHARM, DLA, and Maximo to create a unified dataset that serves as the single source of truth for asset creation, identification, work order history, and cost performance. By standardizing reporting and governance across all manufacturing sites, the ecosystem enables:

  • Integrated lifecycle and maintenance insights that support compliance, operational efficiency, and strategic decision-making at scale.

  • Enhanced governance through consistent asset tracking and cost transparency across the enterprise.

  • Data-driven optimization that facilitates predictive maintenance, cost control, cost reduction, and proactive resource planning.

Key Benefits​

Delivers comprehensive visibility into equipment lifecycle and maintenance activities, enabling standardized reporting and governance across all manufacturing sites. This data supports compliance through integrated enterprise systems and facilitates advanced analytics for reliability, cost optimization, and strategic planning. By leveraging CALMS, CHARM, DLA and Maximo, it strengthens decision-making and drives operational performance improvements enterprise wide.

Lifecycle Transparency: Track equipment from acquisition through retirement, ensuring accurate governance and planning.

Maintenance Optimization: Access historical work orders and preventive schedules from Maximo to improve maintenance planning and reduce downtime.

  • Cost Control: Monitor repair costs, replacement decisions, and budget performance for better financial management.

  • Compliance & Governance: Ensure adherence to corporate standards and audit requirements through CALMS-driven lifecycle data.

  • Integration: Connect asset data with enterprise systems such as BoX, Teamcenter, eSAP and S4 Hanna for reporting, analytics, and decision-making.
