Maximo & Fingertip Help Medical Tech Blue-Chip with FDA & HRPA Compliance
About
About Guerbet
Guerbet is a global leader in medical imaging, based in France. They manufacture products and solutions for diagnostic and interventional radiology.
As part of this work, they use IBM Maximo software to manage their assets, helping them to improve productivity, ensure health & safety compliance and high-quality standards are maintained throughout their organization.
This involves managing their assets safely and efficiently in hazardous environments.
Problem
Reducing the Paper Trail
Guerbet’s version of Maximo was outdated, and they wanted a more supportable version with all the latest features. This additional functionality was required to further improve asset management within their hazardous environments.
They specified that this new solution needed to be:
- Safe to use in hazardous environments
- Able to send ‘work orders’ when faults detected
- Entirely paperless
- Accessible on a mobile device, on or off-line
- Compliant with industry standards & ATEX
- Easy to use, read & understand for all staff
Solution
Implementing Fingertip by Naviam
The project target was to upgrade to the very latest version of Maximo. As part of this, our Fingertip solution was selected, therefore providing industry-leading benefits that they could not get anywhere else.
We worked with Guerbet to implement our Fingertip solution for Maximo. It includes:
- Configurable mobile forms, ensuring work processes are followed
- Paperless solution, with mobile calibration & work-orders
- Off-line mobile use, enabling safe use in hazardous environments (ATEX, zone 1 & DSEA)
- High data quality ensured
- Easy-to-use, with full digital audit trail
Result
Significant Operational Improvements
As a result of Fingertip’s accessibility, Guerbet technicians can now carry out Instrument Calibrations & Inspections with optimum efficiency. They receive automated updates every time a work order is completed. The upgraded and enhanced solution allows Guerbet to maintain its assets more cost-effectively, more efficiently, with a high level of accuracy, ensuring the integrity of its calibration & inspection programs.
Guerbet Pharma achieved significant operational improvements:
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Real-time monitoring and automation allowed Guerbet Pharma to identify bottlenecks and optimize production workflows, leading to faster manufacturing times.
- Streamlined Compliance: The automation of compliance tracking helped reduce manual errors, ensuring timely reporting and adherence to regulatory requirements.
- Cost Savings: Improved efficiency and reduced downtime contributed to substantial savings in production costs, while also minimizing waste and rework.
- Enhanced Data Accuracy: The solution enhanced data accuracy across all stages of production, ensuring that managers had reliable insights for better decision-making.
From Brian Doyle of Hazardous Risk Solutions, project lead for Guerbet’s Maximo System: “What sets Fingertip Inspections and Calibrations apart from any existing mobile system is that it is fully integrated into Maximo. This is a key product differentiator as the data is being captured as the maintenance task is being done. This data is immediately available to all system users including those responsible for managing asset integrity. This fully integrated system enables better management and control of maintenance costs.”
