ABZ: The Power of Teamwork
ABZ has customers in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. In 2019, they started using Ultimo in Eindhoven. Two years later, they switched to IFS Ultimo Premium in the Cloud, ensuring they are always up to date and can grow more quickly and uniformly.
Unifying asset structures and information
The foundation of asset management is, of course, the assets. To shape this as efficiently and optimally as possible, a connection has been made with AVEVA’s PlantSCADA. What makes this interface of value, is that most asset information can be synchronized one-on-one with Ultimo as early as the Design phase. But much more importantly: when ABZ rolls out new production lines and factories, all relevant asset information will be immediately available. So they can start with Asset Management immediately. Resulting in an extremely short time to value for ABZ!
