Infor has announced that Ras Al Khaimah Wastewater Agency (RAKWA) has deployed Infor EAM, a powerful enterprise asset management solution, to boost the efficiency of its operations, maximize the value of its assets, and help improve water sustainability in the UAE.
RAKWA deployed Infor EAM, which enables organizations to digitize, monitor and optimize their asset maintenance operations.
Intertec, Infor’s technology partner in the UAE, implemented Infor EAM at RAKWA in mid-2018 and the deployment took about six months. More than 3,300 assets have now been logged and entered into the system.
Due to this implementation, RAKWA could use Infor EAM to fully automate its asset maintenance, including daily schedules for the O&M team advising which assets to proactively check, repair, maintain or replace.
“By doing the right preventive maintenance at a high quality, we are able to keep the assets running at optimal performance with less corrective maintenance and fewer costs.
This will play a major role in helping RAKWA achieve its aim of a 30% reduction in its operational cost for collecting and treating one cubic metre of wastewater by 2023,” said Walid Abdulrehman Mohammed, RAKWA’s operations & maintenance (O&M) department manager.
Mohammed estimates that Infor EAM has reduced costs across the entire operation by at least 3%. This equates to a huge financial saving, as well as helping to create efficiencies that help lead to an increase in the volume of water that can be treated and re-used.
