ManufacturingThe context
Scaling maintenance for a growing fleet of tools and facilities
Hitachi Energy Ltd - Maintenance is the Hitachi Maintenance brand of ABB/Hitachi, overseeing maintenance work on a large fleet of tools, machines, and infrastructure used by customers in utilities, industry, transportation, and infrastructure.
Before the project, maintenance requests for tools, machines, and offices were handled using a mix of different methods and tools, making it difficult to centralize information, follow up on work orders, and get a clear view of current and upcoming maintenance activities.
The goal was to ensure reliable, traceable maintenance for the entire fleet, reduce time spent on manual coordination, improve the availability of equipment and facilities, and give teams and management better visibility into preventive and corrective work.
Their needs
Centralized maintenance management for tools, machines, and offices
Hitachi Energy Ltd - Maintenance wanted a dedicated solution to manage maintenance requests—both preventive and corrective—for their fleet of tools, machines, and offices directly within their Odoo environment.
- Centralize all preventive and corrective maintenance requests for tools, machines, and offices.
- Ensure that maintenance processes are clearly defined, feasible and fully understood by all stakeholders.
- Confirm the project budget, approach and implementation timeline before launching the full deployment.
- Obtain reliable reporting and dashboards to monitor maintenance activities and support operational decisions.
The proposed solution
Structured analysis of the Odoo environment and maintenance processes
Captivea began by performing a complete analysis of the client’s existing Odoo environment and maintenance processes, running business discovery workshops by theme and user group, producing detailed deliverable documents and handling feedback. On this basis, Captivea implemented an Odoo ERP solution using Inventory, Manufacturing, Maintenance, Dashboard and Employees apps to manage maintenance requests for the fleet of tools, machines and offices, automate repetitive tasks and create dashboards that optimize company management.
The first step of this project is to perform a complete analysis of the client's Odoo environment.
