ACC optimizes asset management with IFS Ultimo
ACC’s goal is to produce high-performance, durable, and affordable batteries through advanced technological innovations. With its first Gigafactory in Billy-Berclau, France, ACC is committed to supporting sustainable mobility while reducing the carbon footprint of electric vehicles. ACC understands the importance of adopting a modern and efficient EAM to manage and maintain its assets. Faced with the need to quickly replace its existing solution, ACC evaluated IFS Ultimo and was impressed by the capabilities and ease of use of Ultimo. With the help of Inoteam, which integrated the IFS Ultimo solution, ACC was able to establish an effective maintenance repository.
Ultimo offers ACC an intuitive and easy-to-configure interface, thereby improving the company’s responsiveness. The mobile application gives employees instant access to machine data, including maintenance history, technician comments, and spare parts stock for quick repairs. It also simplifies maintenance rounds by enabling direct data entry on mobile devices. The ACC teams are very satisfied with the ease of use and the comprehensive data provided by Ultimo, which greatly facilitates their daily work and enhances decision-making in maintenance. Given the sheer size of the factory, the Ultimo software integrates the quickest routes to equipment requiring servicing, thus optimizing efficiency within the plant and saving time for the teams.
The journey with Ultimo is just beginning. ACC plans to extend its use to purchasing management and the HSE area, including work permits and prevention plans.
