Replacing clipboards with tablets

By OEM Update Editorial January 13, 2021 6:13 pm

LANXESS continues to drive forward digitalisation in its production plants. Over the next three years, the specialty chemicals company will introduce mobile operations and maintenance.

In a first step, around 400,000 paper-based operations and maintenance checklists used every year will be replaced by digital equivalents, and then filled out on tablets. In this initial phase, 65 LANXESS plants in Germany, Belgium and the USA will benefit from this modernised process. “Clipboards, slips of paper and pens will soon be things of the past,” says Benedikt Efker, head of digital production at LANXESS. “Tablets connected directly to the central IT systems at LANXESS will make work for our production and maintenance employees more efficient, user-friendly and safer.”

LANXESS is supported by Siemens to digitize its checklists. Siemens uses the Moby.Check software that runs on tablets and can be controlled using either the keyboard or voice commands. Moby.Check has a flexible operating concept allowing users to create production, servicing and maintenance checklists on their PC – without any programming work or training in advance.

End-to-end process integration prevents duplicated work

Digitalization of global plants and facilities

One year ago, LANXESS implemented a system for analyzing time series data across many areas of its global plant fleet. Using the TrendMiner software, production employees can now independently analyze production processes and measurement data, identify patterns and trends in this data and thus detect production irregularities. Typical applications include capacity increase, predictive maintenance, improvement of product quality or more efficient raw material and energy use.

In 2017, LANXESS launched its digitalization initiative, for which it established a dedicated team. The initiative’s core action areas are to develop digital business models, introduce new technologies throughout the value chain, develop and utilize big data and foster digital expertise among employees.
