Asset management partnership targets reduced downtime

Leeds-based ‘intelligent factory’ firm Datahone – which provides production monitoring and machine condition analysis – has announced a co-sell agreement with Ultimo, a provider of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solutions.

Both companies already work with UK manufacturers to enhance outputs and the reliability of manufacturing assets.

“This partnership is great news for manufacturers who use Datahone’s production and maintenance monitoring capabilities to manage their performance,” says the company’s chief executive officer Cliff Brereton. The firm adds that machinery and other assets that are optimised for performance and maintained for reliability deliver positive outcomes for profit margins. 

“By adding Ultimo’s asset and maintenance management offering to our portfolio, we can expand our offering and add new value to our customers,” Mr Brereton continues. “Both solutions have demonstrated outstanding return on investment, and being able to monitor production process and assets around the business can truly make a difference to our customers.” 

With over 30 years of industry experience, Ultimo has grown to become a leading flexible EAM Cloud platform, helping manufacturers to achieve maximum asset availability. The software promises to enable businesses to gain better control over their assets, realise uptime, control costs, and create a safe and healthy working environment.  

Meanwhile Datahone’s ‘Intelligent Factory’ provides production and condition monitoring applications to manufacturers across various industry sectors and, like Ultimo, promises a host of benefits regarding productivity.

Ultimo’s head of channel sales Marcel Leeflang comments: “We are delighted to be working with Datahone to improve productivity for manufacturers across the UK by reducing unplanned downtime and optimising planned maintenance activities. I am looking forward to supporting customers with our joint solution.”
