Schneider Electric has urged industries to adopt sustainable practices in asset management and maintenance.
Vice president Services, Schneider Electric Anglophone Africa, Nnadozie Ogbuehi highlighted the need for industries to prioritise comprehensive asset maintenance. He said, “expertise of the maintenance personnel, quality assurance, onsite response time, remote monitoring capability, and comprehensive onsite inspection are critical factors.”
Nnadozie stressed the importance of a proactive approach in asset management, noting that, “many customers tend to adopt a reactive approach to managing their assets, which can lead to increased downtime and reduced equipment lifespan.
“By partnering with an asset management expert, companies can better address the challenges of equipment availability, minimise downtime, and maximise the lifespan of their equipment. This proactive stance not only enhances operational efficiency but also promotes sustainability by reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements, ” he said.
He further highlighted the cost-effectiveness of Schneider Electric’s asset management solutions. “Our approach is designed to be both cost-effective and tailored to meet specific capacity requirements across a range of industries, including FMCGs, Oil and Gas, Cloud Services, Industrial and Manufacturing, and Data Centers. Asset owners can develop pre-planned budgets, ensuring the maintenance of asset quality and driving sustainability by preventing recurring repairs due to asset breakdowns,” said Nnadozie.
“Ensuring the expertise of maintenance personnel and providing quality assurance through access to the latest tools and diagnostics are crucial components of our approach. Our goal is to help our clients achieve a sustainable asset management solution that meets their needs and challenges, ” he added.
