The possibilities that can be unlocked by available technologies and data are game-changing. Among the many benefits, they allow organisations to:

• predict failure by remotely monitoring infrastructure and forecasting failure windows with probability
• perform timely corrective and preventive actions and identify critical causes faster
• detect poorly performing systems and implement actions to avoid disruption
• predict deterioration and potential failures of critical systems to improve safety outcomes.

The result is substantive asset performance improvements:

• increased network capacity
• improved productivity
• reduced delays
• extended infrastructure life
• improved reliability and reduced unplanned downtime and maintenance costs
• increased energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions
• better customer experience, on-time performance and safety.

Clarita brings extensive subject matter and practical experience and expertise to enable transportation, logistics, warehousing and stevedoring organisations to build the capabilities in strategic asset management and operations needed to optimise performance throughout the asset lifecycle, from design through operation to disposal – and with an acceptable balance of costs, quality and risk.

IBM research reveals the true extent of the headwinds faced by the sector. It determined that as many as 95 per cent of organisations don’t have a mature asset performance management program scaled across their enterprise.

Clarita has helped asset intensive organisations in the transport and logistics sector bring new levels of resilience and performance to their critical asset infrastructure. It does this by partnering with solutions providers such as IBM Maximo to help organisations implement a systematic approach to operating and maintaining their assets. Clarita enables its partners to:

• collect, organise, integrate and analyse siloed asset and process data
• deploy remote monitoring, thus reducing the need to be onsite
• detect anomalies and bring faster insights and quicker action times
• achieve timely and precise interventions, improve productivity, and reduce material use and inventory overheads
• reduce asset downtime, increase asset utilisation and lifespans, resulting in more effective investments over time
• unify operators and technicians with a ‘single view’ of their transport and logistics operations.

With its innate understanding of the needs of the transport and logistics sector and its extensive experience implementing enterprise-wide solutions, Clarita helps organisation realise the benefits associated with managing mature, efficient and connected assets.
