Software to fine-tune the process helps Tata Steel reduce downtime (Part 5)

“Tata Steel is not different from many other companies in the beginning, the staff considered introducing Versiondog with a degree of skepticism. However, since then, our working culture has changed”, said El Haddad, automation expert at Tata Steel.

That sounds quite positive, but Hassan El Haddad is adamant: “Right now we approach different issues and tasks. All of our personnel now see primarily opportunities for supply (input) change, not just the risks considered. They appreciate the reduction in workload, smooth workflow and the certainty that Versiondog provides. That is why Versiondog is not simply a tool, it has become a core element of our maintenance culture.

Some people have been doing their work more or less the same way for more than twenty years. Now new possibilities have suddenly opened and attention is being focused on areas of great value that will be possible. For many, it was a transformation. Backing up, supervising factories, information for AUVESY Software planners and engineers is even involved in data management for power plants’ production supplies. And these factories contain machinery and equipment that use a lot of energy.

The way tasks are currently being approached in maintenance has led to a greater change in attitude toward innovation. More sharing means more learning is the principle. The willingness to exchange information on production issues depends on the level of willingness to learn from each other as a team. The status of web-based factory floors is heavily used in this context. This add-on gives employees ready access to additional information and business-related KPIs.

Finally, Mr. Hassan El Haddad asserts: “If you want to minimize downtime or avoid this completely, just think that you know which version of Versiondog will be the right version for your programer/manager? Versiondog gives you end-to-end clarity about the changes that have been made. You can get better quality than that!”.
