There has been a tremendous fuss about Predictive maintenance this summer. Consulting firms and sensors suppliers seem to rediscover maintenance after so many years of staying carefully away from this complex – and often non-bankable – topic. Time has changed now, and thanks to the limitless power of AI and IoT ubiquity, the maintenance nut will soon be cracked (possibly by a cobot nutcracker).

As our team is concentrating on customer projects during the busiest time of the year, this month’s Customer Story will be replaced by a brief illustrated overview of plants that recently went “live” with our Smart O&M solutions! Not all recent “live” projects are mentioned here, as we continue to rollout Coswin to more sites of industrial gas giants Baosteel Gases and Yingde Gas, water plants of Hongcheng Group, Zhongshan Water and Suez NWS, and many more.

On September 5, Siveco and partner Beijing LLVISION Technology attended the Industrial IoT Innovation Summit in Shanghai, an event focused on exploring solutions to advance IoT capabilities and digital transformation.

Based on the experience of our founders in Asia, Siveco China was created in 2004 around the idea of combining maintenance consulting services and Smart O&M solutions, in order to ensure success, which is: tangible results from the project and continuous improvement in O&M. Indeed O&M staff often lack exposure to maintenance methodologies or have only a theoretical knowledge of them.

The Process Intelligent Manufacturing Summit 2019 held in Hangzhou on August 22-23, attracted a large numbers of process industry leaders and experts to share their perspectives on the latest industry developments.

In this hot summer, the Siveco China team met many friends and joined exciting activities focused on a hot topic indeed: Big Data and AI for predictive maintenance. Unfortunately no beaches, no bikinis for us, but good fun all the same! Here are a few highlights and snapshots!
