Diverse Operations of a Global Leader
John Cockerill has been a global leader in a variety of industries, including Defense, Energy, Environment, and Industrial Services. Within these diverse sectors, a specialized Services division plays a critical role, offering a comprehensive array of maintenance and support capabilities aimed at prolonging equipment life and maximizing operational efficiency.
John Cockerill's Leap into Digital Material Management
John Cockerill has transitioned from traditional paper-based materials catalogues to a digital material solutions platform, moving beyond just digitization to harness data analytics for operational efficiency and team convenience. The adoption of Total Materia’s Horizon platform, particularly the feature within it: SmartComp, has revolutionized material identification and analysis at John Cockerill. This system not only identifies materials by chemical composition but also provides insights into their mechanical properties over time.
Data-Driven Decisions: A New Horizon for Material Comparisons
The power of data analytics did not stop at material identification. The platform's comparison tools have transformed John Cockerill's material selection process, allowing precise comparisons of mechanical and chemical properties. This enables more informed decision-making and enhances client discussions with transparent, quantifiable data.
Despite the platform's intuitive design, the need for expert guidance is occasionally inevitable. During such instances, swift and competent support ensured that the team at John Cockerill could navigate through complexities without any hitches. This has been particularly useful in solving unique challenges and ensuring that the platform is used to its fullest potential.
The Pinnacle of Practicality: Mobilized Material Solutions
A noteworthy benefit of the platform was its mobile adaptability. This might seem simple but proved crucial for field-based operations. Having immediate access to vital material data directly on smartphones has made the system exceptionally practical for real-world troubleshooting scenarios.
Adopting an advanced material solutions platform has significantly ramped up the operational efficiency in John Cockerill’s Services sector. This bold venture is not just a one-off project but the foundation in John Cockerill's long-term strategy to remain at the forefront of technological innovations in the industries it serves.
