Quick implementation of IFS Ultimo EAM System at leading container terminal
A leading container terminal on the west coast of the United States handles ultra-large container vessels with over ten ship-to-shore cranes simultaneously. To advance its operational capabilities, the container terminal selected IFS Ultimo as its new Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) system, partnering with MaxGrip for the implementation.
Ambitions: Next steps in Modernization
The terminal is in the midst of a comprehensive modernization program aimed at significantly enhancing its operational capacity through activity densification. This modernization initiative seeks to optimize throughput while minimizing negative external impacts. As part of this strategic roadmap, the terminal implemented the IFS Ultimo EAM system, positioning itself for the next phase of digital transformation in maintenance management.
Approach: Tailored implementation
The MaxGrip implementation team started out with doing a business scan, which entailed going over all of the areas of being empowered to perform; data, systems & tools, processes, roles & responsibilities and culture/ way of working. The insights from this scan combined with MaxGrip’s specialists’ experience were the baseline for the implementation blueprint.
