Anaergia trusts eMaint CMMS software to support its mission of sustaining the planet

 

Customer Since: 2017 | Industry: Renewable Energy

When it comes to helping save planet Earth, Anaergia is doing its part. The Carlsbad, Calif., company builds and operates resource recovery facilities worldwide that convert waste to energy and help protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions. To better sustain its own operations and customer-run facilities, Anaergia needed a more powerful computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) software. The organization chose eMaint.
  • Saved time by optimizing pass/fail inspection rounds using categorization
  • Automated triggers for corrective action if an asset fails an inspection
  • Enabled CMMS data to show per hour amounts of organics processed at facilities

BACKGROUND

Anaergia uses cutting-edge technology to convert garbage, food waste, and wastewater into fuel, clean water, fertilizer, and electricity. The organic waste is processed using a broad spectrum of industrial machinery, including proprietary equipment. In the example of wastewater, they are able to fully support their electric requirements, parasitically, plus export electricity to the local grid. “It’s basically taking what is completely a waste resource and turning it into an energy house to provide for the surrounding community,” says David Felzer, Global Service Operations Engineer for Anaergia. In 2020, Anaergia will complete the Rialto Bioenergy Facility, the largest plant of its kind in North America. Located in San Bernardino County, Calif., the facility will produce the equivalent of 13 megawatts of clean energy per year and reduce net carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 220,000 metric tons annually.

MEYDAN OKUMA

Anaergia wanted robust CMMS software that could be tailored to fit its diverse global client needs. More than 1,000 municipal, industrial, commercial, and agricultural markets worldwide employ the company’s integrated solutions. Anaergia’s Felzer was tasked with finding an advanced CMMS software product that could automate tasks and optimize workflows. A colleague had previously identified the eMaint CMMS as a good fit, and Felzer’s own research confirmed that it was the best choice.

UYGULAMA

Before eMaint, some Anaergia facilities commonly handwrote maintenance activity in notebooks, or they shared asset performance information verbally. Some facility personnel were unfamiliar with automated, web-based CMMS software. Felzer quickly became the resident eMaint CMMS expert by attending training, boot camps, and administration training classes. He found numerous ways to save time with the CMMS, including using it to de-clutter work order lists and group inspection rounds by process category. He now oversees multiple systems around the world. When customers want to start managing the system themselves, he feels confident in handing it over to eMaint CMMS-trained personnel. Facility M&R teams handily use the software to autogenerate PMs, input work orders, log corrective work orders, and create reports showing work completions and more.

SONUÇLAR

Limasol, Kıbrıs'taki hükümete ait belediye katı atık tesisi ve Toronto (Kanada) Dufferin Organik İşleme Tesisi de dahil olmak üzere Anaergia'nın birçok tesisinde konsept kanıtı bulunan şirket, paketin bir parçası olarak sunabileceği güçlü, özelleştirilebilir ve ölçeklenebilir bir CMMS yazılım çözümüne sahip olduğunu bilerek yeni müşterilere yaklaşıyor. Felzer, gelişmiş küresel, çoklu dil özelliği ile eMaint CMMS X5 yazılım sürümünün piyasaya sürülmesini heyecanla bekliyor. Önceden, sistemin para tasarrufu sağlayan parça envanter yönetimi özelliğini en üst düzeye çıkarmak için zemin oluşturuyor.
"Anaergia'nın gelecek projesinde yeni eMaint X5 CMMS yazılımını uygulamayı planladığını kesinlikle söyleyebilirim. Küresel bir şirket olmak, dünyanın çeşitli bölgelerinden sterlin, euro, dolar üzerinden parçalar satın almak… taban fiyatı depolayabilmek ve bunu birden fazla para biriminde takip edebilmek büyük bir avantaj olacak."
