After the factory was setup, the priority was naturally to ramp up production, not to optimize maintenance. The company’s management team was however well aware of the importance of maintenance and initiated discussions with Siveco as early as 2014 during the startup phase. The topic gradually gained traction and became a priority at the end of 2015, with a clear need to improve maintenance efficiency and to keep costs under control.

Beijing Baida Air, is a specialized company established in 2010 to supply oxygen to industrial clients using vacuum-pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) technology. This technology can be applied widely in the fields of fiberglass, glass, steel, nonferrous metals, recycled metals, coal gasification, sewage treatment and other industrial applications of oxygen.

In April 2016, Baosteel Gases selected Siveco’s Coswin 8i for their Excellent Maintenance Management System (EMMS) project, aimed at strengthening the company’s reliability and maintenance excellence program. Its first phase, to establish a maintenance “core model” with guidelines applicable to all sites, was completed in June.

In January 2017, our team visited a long-time member of the Siveco family, our customer Suez Waste & Recycling waste incinerator in Shanghai Chemical Industry Park, to shoot a short movie about their daily operation process using bluebee®. The film demonstrates a highly condensed version of a working day featuring our customer’s best practices.

Today, over 850 sites use Siveco solutions and services in China. This is what some of our customers have to say.
