MAT: Maintenance Asset Technology

The Maintenance Asset Technology (MAT) is a comprehensive solution designed to transform how steel plants manage their complex assets, from ironmaking and steelmaking to casting and rolling. Often called a Computed Maintenance Management System (CMMS), Maintenance Asset Technology (MAT) is a single source of truth for maintenance organizations, providing actionable insights and enhancing operational efficiency. Maintenance Asset Technology (MAT) is a digital assistant for day-to-day work that provides actionable information and assists the full range of services during the entire plant lifecycle, from asset failure to successful maintenance.

Maintenance Asset Technology (MAT) is designed to address the critical challenges faced by steel producers. With its robust modules, MAT enables precise asset tracking, strategic maintenance planning, efficient order handling, and comprehensive KPI reporting. This system ensures that maintenance activities are aligned with production goals, reducing downtime and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

MAT is a cutting-edge solution designed to optimize maintenance operations in steel plants, ensuring improved productivity, reduced costs, and enhanced operational efficiency. By leveraging real-time data and advanced analytics, MAT empowers steel producers to implement proactive maintenance strategies and maintain consistent production quality.

Included Modules

• Asset tracking: manage complex assets across ironmaking, steelmaking, casting, and rolling processes. MAT enables precise tracking of all assets within the facility, maintaining a detailed history of each asset, including maintenance records, usage data, and performance metrics. This data supports informed decision-making and proactive maintenance planning.
• Maintenance strategies: implement effective maintenance strategies to ensure the reliability of steelmaking equipment. MAT supports reactive, preventive, and predictive maintenance strategies, helping identify the most effective approach for each asset. Maintenance suggestions are generated based on real-time data and historical trends, ensuring timely interventions and minimizing downtime.
• Order handling and execution: efficiently manage orders to meet steel production demands. MAT streamlines the entire order-handling process, from creation to execution. Work orders can be generated automatically based on maintenance needs, with detailed instructions provided for each task. The system ensures efficient allocation of resources and real-time progress tracking.
• KPI and reporting: track key performance indicators to maintain optimal conditions across ironmaking, steelmaking, casting, and rolling processes. MAT offers robust KPI monitoring and reporting capabilities, providing real-time insights into maintenance activities. Critical parameters such as equipment reliability, efficiency, and resource utilization are highlighted, while detailed reports and dashboards identify areas for improvement and support data-driven decision-making.
