Maximo for Oil and Gas Industry Solutions

BPD Zenith have worked with a variety of Power Generation and Utilities companies.

Our Power Generation Clients range from the operators of onsite combined heat and power plants to large-scale conventional power stations.

In the water distribution industry, our Clients have ranged from one of the world’s largest water and wastewater companies, to water-only companies with less than a million connections.

Smart Work Scheduling in Utilities

South Staffs & Cambridge Water – a large water supply company in the United Kingdom, helps reduce resource costs and increase performance after selecting IBM Business Partner BPD Zenith to implement their IBM Maximo upgrade.

South Staffs Work completed jobs increased from approximately 3.5 per day to 6.5 per day. (However, mileage also increased considerably incurring additional travel time/costs)
Optimization and SLA adherence have reduced response times to attend investigative jobs by 20%
Optimization is increasing the accuracy of the work dispatched – a 26% reduction in cancelled work orders

More specifically a CMMS for this industry must address:

Large, Complex Hard Assets
Preventative Maintenance Regimes
Work Management Approvals
Purchasing & Inventory
Resource Scheduling via Crews & Skills

Safety & Incident Management
Problem, Cause & Remedy Analysis
Smart Metering & Condition Monitoring

IoT in Power Generation & Utilities – The Next Step

Transformers degrade and lose efficiency over time. This causes the amount of current going through it to increase which is expensive.

Another challenge is oil degradation which causes a build-up of gas inside the transformer. Large transformers could be fitted with IoT enabled gas sensors to detect build up. For the smaller transformers, we can look at the overall asset health by monitoring conditions such as temperature, current in and out, oil temperature and ambient temperature.

These IoT solutions will offer longer life, better power transfer and greater efficiency.
