Enterprise Asset Management Consulting

Use Case: Taking digital maintenance to a new level at BHS Corrugated

Initial Situation

BHS Corrugated, a leading global solutions provider for the corrugated cardboard industry, faced the challenge of making its maintenance processes more efficient, transparent, and scalable. In addition to its own maintenance operations, the company also sought to optimise service offerings for installed systems at customer sites worldwide. The goal was to create end-to-end digital processes while enabling new, data-driven service offerings.

Solution

With the introduction of Octave Attune EAM, a central platform for enterprise asset management was established. The implementation was carried out by aomation GmbH, which has since continuously supported BHS Corrugated in the further development and expansion of the solution.

The EAM system has been in successful use for three years and now covers several key application areas:

In-house maintenance

Structured planning, control, and documentation of all maintenance and service processes

Service at customer sites

Efficient execution and tracking of maintenance activities directly at the customer’s site

New digital services

Generation of work orders based on plant data

A particularly innovative step is the integration with the iCorr® portfolio, BHS Corrugated’s condition monitoring platform: based on the transmission of sensor data collected there, work orders are generated in Octave Attune EAM on demand according to the actual production load of the systems, ensuring optimal resource utilisation.

Results and Added Value

Increased efficiency

Significantly reduced manual effort through automated workflows

Transparency

Full traceability of all maintenance activities

New business models

Expansion of the service portfolio through data-driven, proactive maintenance offerings

Scalability

A flexible platform as the foundation for further growth and additional digital services

Conclusion

With Octave Attune EAM, BHS Corrugated has taken a decisive step toward digital maintenance and service excellence. The combination of powerful software and aomation GmbH’s implementation expertise makes it possible to optimise existing processes while simultaneously developing innovative, future-oriented services.

Outlook

The continuous development of the system, along with the increasing use of real-time data and automation, offers great potential for further optimisations and new value – both for BHS Corrugated and for its customers worldwide.
