Vattenfall is the third-largest hydropower supplier in Europe. It decided to use AVEVA PI System to improve its condition-based asset maintenance. That decision cut maintenance costs by 1.5% in just one year. Now, Vattenfall also uses AVEVA PI System to do root-cause analysis and trend analysis on demand.
“The benefit is that we can find a failure before it occurs, and then we can have a planned maintenance activity instead of an unplanned one.”
Magnus Holmbum, Maintenance Development Engineer, Vattenfall
