Infralogix: Effectively Improving Asset Reliability and Performance

We believe there are three interlocking principles that support effective business: ‘people, process, and platform’. In order to achieve lasting improvement and exceptional plant performance, companies need to connect and address all three of these components holistically

The company employs a proven methodology designed to better leverage each client's system capabilities, improve their reliability program results, and maximize ROI. The Infralogix predictive (PDM) and condition-based maintenance (CBM) services, on the other hand, help clients to ensure effective and efficient ongoing equipment care, avoid unplanned downtime, increase energy efficiency, and reduce safety risks through accurate assessment of assets. Collier explains that it is crucial for companies to properly integrate predictive (PDM/CBM) maintenance strategies and programs with operations and maintenance processes. “Identifying conditions alone won't be of value if such information doesn’t translate into repair/replacement work orders that can be effectively and efficiently executed. Similarly, if the CMMS implementation is not configured sufficiently to either sustain or improve equipment performance, then companies are clearly missing out on the benefits of their investment in all the steps in that process, ” says Collier. “We assess where our clients fit in the spectrum of services we offer, identify the gaps/challenges in their existing processes, and accordingly build a solution which can be easily monitored and tracked with key performance indicators,” he adds.

To help maintenance organizations achieve their reliability goals and execute the plan they have in place, Infralogix provides maintenance support services and augments client resources with skilled and experienced professionals. The company offers an expert interpretation of results and recommendations to the client's staff to proactively address equipment care conditions before they result in costly problems. With a unique combination of system-level improvement services, equipment-focused predictive (PDM) and condition-based (CBM) maintenance services, and broad industry experience across diverse markets, Infralogix delivers unprecedented value to its customers. Today, Infralogix supports over 100 companies in 12 different industries, including pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, manufacturing (both light and heavy), commercial real estate, financial services, construction, utilities, and more.

The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in increased insourcing by companies in the U.S and an expansion of local manufacturing environments. With sights set on steady growth, Infralogix aims to capitalize on these new opportunities. The company is looking to forge partnerships to provide more integrated reliability solutions for a broader range of problems. In 2020, the company partnered with Grainger—a premier industrial supplies and equipment provider—to provide a complete solution for spare parts and storeroom maintenance. To address the education aspects of reliability, Infralogix has also partnered with Mobius Institute, a leading provider of reliability improvement, condition monitoring, and precision maintenance education, for reliability training. “Our ability to offer complementary training with predictive maintenance and inspection services aligns perfectly with our vision of connecting people, process, and platform, ” remarks Collier.
