On July 28, an official ceremony marked the "Go Live" of Baosteel Gases' Excellent Maintenance Management (EMM) system, based on Siveco's Coswin 8i, on the pilot site of Hefei Baoxin.

Baosteel Gases () is a leading industrial gas company in China, founded by Baosteel Metals, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Baosteel Group. Baosteel Gases covers five key business lines, namely air separation unit ("ASU"), synthesis gas, packed gas, hydrogen and clean energy, with comprehensive capacities of technology R&D, sales and logistics, and project construction and operation. Baosteel Gases operates 15 project companies and owns the largest standalone ASU facility in China.

Baosteel Gases has implemented Siveco's Coswin 8i solution to manage all its maintenance and reliability activities.

During the ceremony, Baosteel Gases Operation Director Yan Wei gave a speech, followed by Siveco's Vice General Manager Paul Wang and Project Manager Rob Qiu.

Finally, Director Yan created the first official Work Order in Coswin 8i and pronounced the EMM "Live".

Based on this successful pilot in Hefei, Coswin 8i will quickly spread to the other seven sites of Baosteel Gases. In addition, both companies are discussing the implementation of the bluebee® mobile solution later this year.
