Equipment Overhauls

Equipment Overhauls

Challenges

1

Collaboration

Large, complex equipment requiring the collaborative work of multiple Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).

2

Parts Management

Production downtime from poor management and inadequate traceability/tracking of parts from warehouse to maintenance locations.

3

Scheduling & Planning

Multiple moving parts, tools, people and constant change, directly affecting scheduler/planner synchronization and worker coordination.

4

The Human Factor

Lack of communication, inaccurate decision-making, human error and insufficient/inaccurate reporting resulting in costly reworks and delays.

5

Knowledge Loss

Loss of knowledge from personnel migration and lack of documentation or validations on compliance with regulatory standards.

6

Safety & Risks

Increasingly complex equipment and plants, coupled with growing demands for quality, safety and on-time/early job completion, with fewer resources.

7

Uncertainty of Scope

Level of effort, amount of resources and budget required can only really be determined after opening and inspecting the equipment.

Solution

The Mobideo Platform offers a paradigm shift in the execution of equipment overhauls by digitalizing workflows, forms and checklists and delivering notifications, alerts, reports, digital wallcharts and KPI dashboards. Integrating with existing systems of record such as schedule and EAM/APM/CMMS solutions, it rapidly digitalizes unique know-how and content captured in operational documentation (such as manuals, SOPs and checklists) and then integrates it in carefully planned, sequential activities as actionable tasks and digitalized checklists that can be dispatched to workers, inspectors and teams in real-time. This digitalization delivers three important solutions:

Connected Workers

The Mobideo App provides workers, experts, teams, supervisors, foremen, shop engineers and inspectors with easy access to the most updated information required to complete tasks and provide status updates. Including digital task checklists, forms and granular, step-by-step procedures for execution, automatic sign-offs and hazard notifications where applicable, the application not only tells workers what to do, but also how to do it, enabling them to complete their work using any mobile device.

Connected Managers

The Mobideo Control Center turns planned and scheduled equipment overhaul activities into actionable, digitalized tasks, grouped and organized in the correct sequence of execution and automatically dispatched to personnel in real-time, based on the completion of previous tasks or availability to work. It enables the identification, tracking, inspection and testing of tools and parts as they move from the warehouse to the shop floor; provides real-time automated alerts to decision-makers; and delivers complete auditability of who did what, where and when on each task and piece of equipment.

Process Optimization

The Mobideo Optimizer captures all data from the Mobideo App and the Mobideo Control Center, generating a rich data set that is available for immediate BI analysis and for use in real-time digital wallcharts. This valuable data can be used for a range of purposes, such as the compilation of real-time data – including verification of drawings, diagrams, technical specifications and materials used in the overhaul process – into documentation, along with free-form notes and observations. All data is compiled automatically into specific deliverables containing all documents, knowledge, procedures and insights concerning operations/maintenance, which can be transferred to all applicable stakeholders.

Benefits

A move from reactive to proactive work culture

Ability to anticipate and resolve issues before they have an impact, and the provision of KPIs to support informed decision-making and shorten shift handover meetings.

Specific digital safety checklists adapted to each task, worker, role and skillset, reducing the likelihood of possibly dangerous safety shortcuts and increasing the reliability of results.

Always know who did what, and when.

Replacement of manual, static, hard-to-maintain, paper-based wallcharts with interactive dashboards and digital wallcharts displaying real-time overhaul status to all stakeholders in any location and facilitating better decision-making based on accurate real-time data.

Replacement of painstaking and time-consuming manual scheduling with automated schedule updating, enabling better management of evolving timetables.

Real-time views of actual task execution and immediate understanding of the relevance to dependent tasks, facilitating better coordination of manpower/tools and remote handovers, significantly increasing efficiency and reducing workforce downtime.

Automatic generation of reports in real-time, eliminating the need to manually create reports after work is completed.

Early, real-time awareness and identification of issues and delays, allowing for improved mitigation as well as driving continuous improvement during the overhaul and supporting improvement in future overhauls.

Automated review and approval processes, delivering a frictionless experience with all the necessary digital tools – including images and accurate measurements when anything occurs – eliminating the need for the onsite presence of all stakeholders.

Workers can quickly assign themselves appropriate tasks while supervisors can see and allocate available tasks – real-time management based on open lines of communication that can eliminate the time wasted when waiting for instructions or searching for resolutions to problems.

Reduces the non-utilization of often expensive tools by ensuring immediate awareness of availability for re-assignment, as well as better utilization of NDE teams and tools.

The capture and tracking of actual task execution times enables the creation of baselines/benchmarks – rather than estimations – required to perform specific types of tasks for use when planning a future overhaul.

Real-time access of all relevant and most up-to-date documents and drawings to every user on a mobile device.

Continuous online updating and pushing of information and detailed digital checklists of procedures to the workforce, ensuring that only the latest, most up-to-date data and best practices for each specific task is accessed, without a single piece of paper.
