Why do Maintenance & Industrial Risk Prevention often remain in the dark? When was the last time your General Manager, your Plant Manager or even your Technical Manager looked at reports, analytics from your O&M system – if you have one? Or perhaps they are too busy to care? If you get reports, how far remote (delay and accuracy) are they from the reality on the ground?

Welcome to the Year of the Tiger! To bring our best Chinese New Year wishes to you, the bluebee® girl donned a traditional costume and tiger hat! On behalf of the entire Siveco China team, we wish you and yours a happy New Year! May the roaring tiger bring you and yours health, happiness and prosperity!

It’s Christmas time again! Thank you for your support this year! Despite the continuing impact of Covid-19 on travel in parts of China and in other countries, we did not spare efforts to address our customers’ needs.

Occasionally someone asks us: what does Siveco China really do? Some people call us for all their maintenance-related questions. Others insist we must do software only. Others will compare us to diversified IT giants and think that we are very tiny… Our business is of course bit complex! Our team has employed a “5W1H” methodology to try to explain what we do

During the Labor Day holidays, old friends met together, my old colleagues who have been engaged in researching and delivering Asset & Maintenance Management solutions since the late 1990s. They have taken part in many projects in the power, chemical, paper and environmental industries. During our gathering, we talked a lot. I have summarized here the hottest issues.

I am writing this editorial from the Three Gorges Dam, visiting as a simple tourist, 20 years after having implemented the maintenance management system there! I feel greatly privileged to have come to China at the right time to build the teams that delivered so many first-ever (and other superlatives) CMMS/EAM projects! Even before Three Gorges, we worked on Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant (phase 1 followed by the others), Shanghai Metro (line 2 had just opened!) and many more.
