Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software provider Ultimo explains how bringing operations and maintenance closer together helps improve communication, optimise productivity and protect uptime at Plant & Asset Management 2022, NEC Birmingham, 5-7 April. Visitors to stand C30 will learn how breaking down silos in these two critical areas will help organisations move towards more autonomous, proactive maintenance to minimise disruptions, cut costs and futureproof operation.

“The EAM Trend Report 2021 revealed that 60% of asset managers experienced downtime last year, with ageing assets and poor communication between teams reported to pose the biggest risk to operation,” says Chris van den Belt, Team Leader Product Management, Ultimo. “Maintenance and operations teams often work in isolation, using different subsystems to manage vital information. This lack of visibility and collaboration adds extra layers of admin to both departments, slows down maintenance, and, in the worst case, prolongs downtime events. Adopting a more holistic approach to managing these vital areas helps managers unlock new efficiencies with existing resources and gain better control over the health and performance of their assets.”

Ultimo’s experts will be available on stand C30 throughout the show to discuss visitors’ asset management challenges and share practical advice on how to leverage the latest EAM technology to improve knowledge-sharing, streamline maintenance and protect uptime.
