Functionality & benefits of bluebee®
This month’s tips & tricks gives a new functional overview and benefits of mobile maintenance solution bluebee®.
Support for work execution
bluebee® supports all onsite activities: receiving work orders from any back-office system, reporting work done, inspection results, meter readings and measurements. bluebee® also allows users to visualize trends and graphical reports.
Onsite audits and management
With bluebee® tablet, managers conduct site surveys (safety, energy, maintenance). Non-compliance and risk areas are instantaneously reported.
QR codes, RFID tags, NFC and Beacons…
Areas, equipment and inspection points can be identified by QR codes or RFID tags. Scanning guarantees that technicians are physically present. The latest Beacon technology allows bluebee® to automatically detect related work orders upon entering an area. Using WeChat or any other QR code scanning app, users can simply report problems with their phone by scanning the equipment QR code. This easy-to-use solution motivates everyone to report incidents and help prevent disasters, in line with industrial best practices such as those of Lean Manufacturing (or TPM).
IoT and Connected Objects
bluebee® connects to Connected Objects such as Bluetooth instruments and sensors, as well as to SCADA/DCS/BMS via bluebee® sync. With bluebee®, workers play the key role in the Internet of Things (IoT).
Design & ergonomics
bluebee® is designed to assist technicians, not to replace or control them. Manual input is replaced by scanning, taking photos, selecting values and automatic capture of time and location, ensuring perfect accuracy and ease-of-use.
A catalyst for best practices
bluebee® acts as a structuring tool to motivate workers, to train them on-the-job, to organize them around clear processes and to gently enforce best practices from top managers to workers.
Reallocate time savings to improvement
Industry benchmarks show that up to 70% of technicians working time is spent on administrative tasks, looking for parts, manuals, people… For office personnel, data entry, compilation and reporting waste even more time. bluebee® streamlines the entire process.
Time savings achieved with bluebee® are immediately reallocated to prevention and higher value-added jobs. bluebee® is the solution to the old chicken-and-egg dilemma of workers being too tied up with emergencies to spend time on improvement.
