Background
Remondis Sava GmbH operates a state-of-the-art hazardous waste incineration plant in Brunsbüttel, which is subject to strict regulatory requirements due to the hazardous nature of the material. The plant must carry out regular maintenance work, which must be fully documented. Previously characterized by manual processes, Remondis was looking for a solution to automate and optimize maintenance.
The solution for Remondis: handz.on and IBM Maximo
Together with Remondis, our IT experts have developed a customized solution based on IBM Maximo. This automates not only regular maintenance work, but also unexpected defects and the purchase of required spare parts.
Automation and increased efficiency
The new solution automatically checks which maintenance work is due and triggers it. The web-based application works on any computer and provides a quick overview of the status of the system. Thanks to the automation of work orders, the management of spare parts and detailed status management, Remondis not only saves time, but also minimizes the risk of breakdowns and consequential damage.
Documentation for audits and efficiency improvements
The web-based solution not only offers efficient maintenance automation, but also comprehensive documentation. Even after ten years, all orders and the complete lifecycle management of the system can be read out, which is particularly important in the event of audits. Stefan Homfeldt, Head of Maintenance and Repair at Remondis Sava, emphasizes the importance of this documentation as proof of compliance with legal regulations.
Cost control and outlook
In addition to the precise evaluation of maintenance costs, the solution also enables the creation of needs-based reports. Stefan Homfeldt emphasizes the possibility of further increasing the efficiency of the plant and optimizing costs. As a next step, Remondis is planning to introduce the Maximo Scheduler in order to be able to allocate and schedule resources even better.
Conclusion
Thanks to the partnership with our handz.on team and the use of the IBM Maximo solution, the waste management company has not only revolutionized its maintenance management, but also created a solid foundation for future efficiency improvements. The automation of maintenance processes minimizes risks, saves costs and ensures smooth operation of the hazardous waste incineration plant in Brunsbüttel.
