Ports are the lifeblood of global trade, handling millions of tonnes of cargo every year. Behind the smooth operations of any port lies a network of capital-intensive assets, including cranes, container handling equipment, docking infrastructure, and sophisticated tracking systems. These assets are vital for ensuring operational efficiency and meeting the demands of modern maritime logistics.
Once the birthplace of the industrial revolution, Wales is now positioned to lead a new era defined by clean, sustainable energy derived from its abundant natural resources: the sun, wind, and tides. This ambitious vision is not only about powering homes and businesses but about shaping a cleaner, greener future for communities in Cymru and across the UK.
In the fast-paced world of modern business operations, choosing the right tools for asset and maintenance management is more than just a necessity—it’s a strategic advantage. Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) systems are among the most effective but although both are indispensable, they differ greatly in scope, functionality, and application.
Last month TouchstoneEnergy attended the HxGN EAM Connect + event held at Hexagon’s headquarters in Cobham, where the latest advancements in Hexagon’s Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), HxGN EAM were showcased.
Behind the smooth operation of any asset-heavy organisation lies a network of capital-intensive assets, including cranes, container handling equipment, docking infrastructure, and sophisticated tracking systems. The scale, complexity, and criticality of these assets demand meticulous management to minimise operational risks, control maintenance costs, and ensure optimal performance. Mismanagement can result in cascading failures that disrupt operations, delay shipments, and incur heavy financial penalties.
