Success Story BL.Predict x Saint Jean: challenges and benefits of switching from corrective to preventive maintenance
Success Story BL.Predict x Saint Jean! The objective? Optimize the maintenance of its fresh pasta production! Production line availability, data centralization, migration from corrective to preventive maintenance… Here’s a look back at this collaboration which combines technological innovation and complex manufacturing systems. La “Maison” Saint Jean, the art of fresh French pasta History shows that France, like Italy, is a land of fresh pasta… Saint Jean is one of the
Data visualisation to ease planning in Infosilem Academics
The InfoSilem Academics software (previously TimeTabler) automates and simplifies the creation of academic schedules for faculties. The scheduling is centered on the notion of “deliveries”. A delivery is a combination of professors, academic blocks, and corresponding room requests, repeated at a given frequency. The software provides optimized time slots and room affectations depending on room constraints, the frequency of the delivery,
Multiscale Visualisation: From Territory to BIM View
The technical management of the territory is today a challenge that requires being able to manage objects such as the city or the building and space which contains them at different scales. The following video demonstrates our research prototype integrated into CARL Source for multi-scale management of equipment. You will see that it is possible
The MOTUS Project: Automatic Grouping by Theme of Support Tickets
Dear Project Managers, imagine if you could regroup automatically the thousands of maintenance tickets by topic in just one click. It would be nice no? This would have tremendous implications in priorising the bug fixing, improvement requests, new features, etc. Thus, saving significant amount of time and making better decisions. Well, this is what we
Optimizing Maintenance Planning for CARL Software
The management of the maintenance interventions planning is complicated. A large set of constraints must be considered when managing the plan such as the adequacy between skills and intervention acts, the respect of contracts and the availability of technicians, etc. As a result, the production of a plan becomes a big challenge, as we often
AI and Edge Computing at the service of IoT : Realization of an Augmented Sensor
Within the framework of a research & innovation working partnership on AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Edge Computing, the Adeunis and CARL/Berger-Levrault R&D teams have been working together for several months. CARL/Berger-Levrault is a European leader in equipment management (CMMS/EAM) and technical asset management, while Adeunis is a specialist in radio IoT solutions. These two entities
