Schneider Electric Urges Industries to Embrace Sustainable Practices in Asset Management and Maintenance

Schneider Electric, global leader in energy management and automation, has called on industries to consider the adoption of sustainable practices in asset management and maintenance.

Speaking in Lagos recently, the Vice President Services, Schneider Electric Anglophone Africa, Nnadozie Ogbuehi, highlights the need for industries to prioritize comprehensive asset maintenance.

Commenting on key qualities to look for in an asset management expert, he said, expertise of the maintenance personnel, quality assurance, onsite response time, remote monitoring capability, and comprehensive onsite inspection are critical factors.

Nnadozie stressed the importance of a proactive approach in asset management. “Many customers tend to adopt a reactive approach to managing their assets, which can lead to increased downtime and reduced 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 further highlighted the cost-effectiveness of Schneider Electric’s asset management solutions.

“Our approach is designed to be both cost-effective and tailored to meet specific capacity requirements across a range of industries, including FMCGs, Oil and Gas, Cloud Services, Industrial and Manufacturing, and Data Centers. Asset owners can develop pre-planned budgets, ensuring the maintenance of asset quality and driving sustainability by preventing recurring repairs due to asset breakdowns.

“Ensuring the expertise of maintenance personnel and providing quality assurance through access to the latest tools and diagnostics are crucial components of our approach. Our goal is to help our clients achieve a sustainable asset management solution that meets their needs and challenges”, he said.

Schneider Electric’s maintenance services are characterized by highly skilled personnel, quality assurance through advanced vendor tools and diagnostics, timely onsite response, and the ability to perform remote monitoring and comprehensive onsite inspections.

“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.
