Using Rockwell Automation Fiix CMMS software, Nói Síríus
streamlined maintenance and support, improved performance and
increased reliability
BRUSSELS, Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockwell
Automation, Inc. (NYSE: ROK), the world's largest company
dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, is
working with Icelandic chocolatier Nói Síríus to help the company
streamline maintenance and improve production-line performance.
Nói Síríus, Iceland's leading
chocolatier and a much-loved household name, needed ways to enhance
the reliability and performance of its production line, while also
streamlining its support workflows to reduce the burden on the
maintenance team and improve productivity.
After considering a range of options, the company decided to
standardize the management of its maintenance operations using Fiix
CMMS (computerized maintenance management system) software from
Rockwell Automation. Using Fiix, Nói Síríus has been able to
capture information about the performance and maintenance status of
all its core assembly-line machinery.
"This has been a highly collaborative and successful project,"
said Asa Arvidsson, regional vice
president sales, north region, Rockwell Automation. "Together with
Nói Síríus, our consultants helped design new and streamlined
maintenance workflows using the Fiix platform. It's been highly
gratifying to see the improvements this has made in such a short
time. We very much appreciate the partnership with Nói Síríus and
look forward to seeing the results of the predictive-maintenance
project."
Within just four months, the maintenance team went from working
mainly on reactive maintenance to spending most of their time on
preventative work, designed to avoid downtime before it occurred.
The Nói Síríus maintenance team was able to minimize interruptions
caused by the need for quick fixes to unforeseen problems using the
Fiix intelligent queue-management features. The new CMMS platform
enabled the team to work collaboratively with operations staff on
prioritizing the job queue.
Now, more than six months since the initial deployment, Rockwell
Automation and Nói Síríus are working together to network the
entire production facility. When this is complete, working with
Rockwell Automation consultants, the chocolatier will move to a
data-driven, predictive model of maintenance, helping it to further
maximize uptime, cut costs and improve productivity.
"Since adopting Fiix software, our maintenance staff are much
happier," said Guðmundur Ingi
Einarsson, technical manager, Nói Siríus. "Now, they
concentrate on preventing downtime rather than reacting to it. We
have the data we need to prioritize our work intelligently and
arrive at solutions faster. Furthermore, the predictive-maintenance
project promises further improvements in the future."
