Siveco was invited to join the "Reducing Downtime & Ensuring Industry Safety" event in Crowne Plaza Century Park Shanghai on December 1-2.

Low labor costs are no longer a competitive edge for manufacturing plants located in China and the rising price of raw material poses a new challenge. As the operating costs increase, it is vital that plant managers and manufacturing directors reduce operation downtime and ensure industry safety.

Realizing maximum efficiency and optimization for manufacturing equipment is achieved through proactive maintenance. The audience came from the chemical, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industries.

Bruno Lhopiteau, General Manager of Siveco China, moderated the panel discussion on "The application of computerized system for maintenance improvement in the process industry: experience in China and aboard". A demonstration system was also setup showing how to use COSWIN to support TPM for continuous improvement.
