The Edvard Grieg platform in the North Sea now has a drone with its own docking station.
Maintenance is finally gaining its rightful place in the strategic field of industry. It is no longer just a cost item that eats up the budget and causes sighs in the financial statements – when managed correctly, maintenance produces a clear competitive advantage and strengthens the company’s performance.
Since its founding in 1989, the Belgian Maintenance Association (BEMAS) has played a leading role in advancing maintenance, reliability, and asset management across Belgium.
A comprehensive analysis led by Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden shows that biomass is crucial for achieving Europe's climate goals.
New AI-based functions will provide predictive maintenance for bridges, culverts, retaining walls and sea walls around the world.
Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) promises improved reliability, but is it always worth it? Full-scale implementation is often overly complex, costly, and unnecessary—like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito. Without readiness and a strong foundation in basic maintenance practices, RCM can distract from more practical, cost-effective solutions. Simpler, experience-driven approaches may often yield better results.
In recent years, advances in connectivity, big data and digitalization have often promised to bring significant benefits to industry. Now, with the Valmet Industrial Internet, data is being used to deliver a better kind of maintenance service, as well as performance optimization services.
