- Collaboration expands Schneider Electric’s asset performance management (APM) offering
- Increasing global capabilities will deliver tangible improvements to reliability, efficiency and profitability
- The move builds upon Schneider’s Industrial Digital Transformation Services ensuring companies can be supported at every step on their digitalization journey
Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced a partnership with MaxGrip, the Asset Performance Management consulting company, to drive forward its industrial Asset Management portfolio and deliver additional value to customers.
Maintenance related issues like unplanned downtime, product losses and energy inefficiency cost major industrial companies at least $864 billion annually, or $532,000 each hour. Simultaneously, 63% of maintenance efforts are unnecessary and could be avoided. With the typical asset lifespan in heavy industries being 30 to 40 years, and an increasing focus on ESG, there is an increasing pressure to improve asset management strategies. These play a foundational role in companies to embrace digitalizing asset management and improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Leveraging MaxGrip’s Asset Improvement Program (AIP), Schneider Electric will further support customers in their digital transformation journey by providing a comprehensive asset lifecycle management program. The program aims to break down internal silos, offering detailed analysis of asset reliability and performance improvement opportunities and identifying conditions for the successful adoption of (new) technologies at the customer and accelerating deployment through extensive asset libraries and hands-on experience.
