Metal & Fabrication
Metal & fabrication covers anything from creating stock materials, through metal parts for fabrication, to complex niche processes producing high integrity components. Common to these is the use of high value capital equipment which needs to be utilised efficiently to ensure best return on investment.
Investing a fraction of the cost of this equipment on a PlantRun system gives you accurate utilization information that can be accessed in real time to enable you to
- Maximise capacity
- Maximize visibility of operation
- Minimize down time
- Improve response to stoppages
