Next Generation Maintenance
Songa Offshore, an international midwater drilling contractor active in the harsh environment of the North Atlantic basin, uses IFS Applications as a springboard for digital innovation: the next generation maintenance.
IFS enables its customers on their digital journey. An example is the development of the IFS IoT Business Connector. It connects your business – your operation assets – to your maintenance system and it enables you to act on what your assets are telling you.
Songa Offshore and IFS agreed to work together to digitise assets and processes onboard Songa’s CatD rigs and to feed thousands of observations and analytical insights into their ERP-system IFS Applications, so that action may be taken to follow up the insights.
The implementation of the IFS IoT Business Connector has given Songa Offshore several operational benefits, such as reduced maintenance costs, improved service levels and more automated business processes.
Benefits
Songa Offshore now plans to go from calendar-based to condition-based maintenance to ensure uninterrupted, cost-effective operation of all the rigs. Other benefits include:
- Integrated ERP platform enabling digital initiatives
- Consolidation of cross-functional processes
- Improved overview and common view
- Improved data quality and analysis capabilities
- Replication functionality that enables non-stop operations
