Flipping the script on Industry 4.0: why 61% of projects fail and how to fix it
The vision of Industry 4.0 is promising, yet many projects falter in reality due to issues in processes, personnel, and management. Siveco China and Bluebee Technologies propose a different approach: instead of presuming organizational maturity, they cultivate it through the bluebee® Smart O&M solution. By placing people at the core, integrating the ISO 55000 standard, and providing continuous support, the solution helps build capabilities through practice, enabling enterprises to steadily advance their digital transformation.

Should the OEE be calculated in the maintenance system (CMMS/EAM), in production tracking systems (MES, ERP), in monitoring systems (IoT based, SCADA, PLC, DCS)? Or perhaps in an external system based on data from multiple sources either automatically or manually input? There is no right or wrong answer, it all depends on your current needs, situation, and IT landscape.

It is often said that maintenance digitalization projects have a very low success rate. Often managed by IT, most CMMS or EAM projects result in systems that maybe work from a technical standpoint (users can login and access the various functions) but cannot be used in practice (data not accurate, no useful reports, inconvenient user interfaces). Obviously such system does not help the company achieve any industrial improvement.

In the era of industry 4.0, most energy projects in Asia still enter commercial operation without a maintenance system in place. Instead, the operation and maintenance (O&M) team, already busy with start-up issues, struggles to gather technical documentation, to define paper-based procedures and when time allows, years later, to implement computerized system.
