the customer

Voith Paper is the biggest manufacturer of paper machines in the world. Voith plants have a total length of 500 m and more. 10,000 maintenance points are not uncommon.

the task

To increase machine uptime, the plants are provided with an ALM* system that contains a mix of predictive maintenance and regular maintenance intervals.

*Asset LifeCycle Management​

the solution

Maintenance plans, replacement parts requirement lists and maintenance parts lists are created by Voith Paper for each plant based on the SAP parts list – extensively automated by MRO | ASSIST.

The maintenance parts lists are transferred to the ALM OnCare Asset system and connected to the Condition Monitoring Systems. OnCare Asset is a further development of MACHINE | ASSIST for Voith Paper and Voith Hydro.

Dispatchers and gatekeepers work on the ALM control station of OnCare Asset to create maintenance and repair notifications for the service technicians. They receive their orders on their smartphone via MOBILE | ASSIST. For complex service orders such as roll changes, Gantt charts support the dispatchers when planning and directing several service technicians. A dashboard keeps maintenance control informed via KPIs and order status.
