The Sitech Asset Health Center (SAHC) at the Geleen site in the Netherlands delivers smart asset management services to the Chemelot cluster of chemical companies, startups, and service companies. These include DSM, OCI, Borealis, Arlanxeo, Fibrant, and AnQore. SAHC's goal is to deliver optimal plant performance and uptime and aims to reach “zero surprises” in plant operations. It does this by applying a well-designed asset strategy and best practices for asset management plus "fit-for-purpose" asset health monitoring and analytics. SAHC is a Living Lab, part of the Dutch Smart Industry initiative and co-financed by Sitech and European, Dutch, and local funds.
The five-year program running at SAHC has obtained almost €1 million in funding for a total initial investment of €2.5 million and is considerably ahead of schedule. This article discusses the approach SAHC applies and documents a few use cases and associated benefits.
