Firm urges industries to prioritise sustainable asset management, maintenance

Schneider Electric has urged industries in Nigeria to adopt sustainable practices in asset management and maintenance to maximise investment and enhance operational efficiency.

The Vice President of Services at Schneider Electric Anglophone Africa, Nnadozie Ogbuehi, stated that expertise of asset management must have knowledge of maintenance, personnel, quality assurance, onsite response time, remote monitoring capability, and comprehensive onsite inspection.

While emphasising the importance of a proactive approach in asset management, he said: “Many customers tend to adopt a reactive approach to managing their assets, which can lead to increase downtime and reduce equipment lifespan. By partnering with an asset management expert, companies can better address the challenges of equipment availability, minimize downtime, and maximize the lifespan of their equipment. This proactive stance not only enhances operational efficiency but also promotes sustainability by reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements.”

He highlighted the cost-effectiveness of Schneider Electric’s asset management solutions designed to meet specific capacity requirements across a range of industries, including FMCGs, Oil and Gas, Cloud Services, Industrial and Manufacturing, and Data Centers .

Ogbuehi added that Schneider Electric’s approach encompasses providing quality assurance through access to the latest tools and diagnostics, with better solutions that meet clients’ needs and challenges.

“At Schneider Electric, we are committed to helping our clients achieve sustainable asset management solutions. Our comprehensive maintenance services are designed to meet the unique needs of each industry, ensuring that our clients can operate efficiently and sustainably,” he added.
