The Challenge
Increased productivity and decreased costs
Every day EDP has hundreds of technicians in the field to who faults in the existing networks and systems are reported. The challenge that EDP brought to Proef and Glaterk was to find a way to reduce the time it takes for the technician to identify and reach the location of the failure, having at their disposal all the documentation on the processes needed to solve it quickly, with immediate reporting and feedback to managers.
We knew the challenge was complex because of the maze of pipe, equipment and sensors in each facility.
In addition, maintenance operators often need additional information, such as reports, manuals, schematics and real-time information, which is usually not available or does not exist. Searching for answers in manuals and complex reports takes time which decreases worker productivity and increases costs for the company.
