The document discusses how MOSAICO's Intelligent Platform transforms operations in lime plants through digital solutions. It introduces MOSAICO, an industrial internet platform that collects operational data and provides visualization, analytics, and reporting to optimize asset performance and operations. The platform was implemented on a QualiCal kiln for Calcis Group to reduce downtime, optimize maintenance costs, and introduce smart maintenance through the ZERO App. This allows maintenance managers to monitor plant performance remotely and technicians to access maintenance documentation and provide feedback from mobile devices. The results have been more efficient maintenance and increased plant availability through minimized unplanned stoppages.

have been assigned to them, access the
documentation necessary to complete the
task (eg, maintenance manual, required
tools, video instructions and group chats)
and offer feedback simply through a tablet
connected to the cloud.
ZERO™ Workflow
The customer, and everyone involved in
maintenance operations, can move away
from the traditional
hardcopy maintenance
plan to a digital and
dynamic format. This
brings a number of
advantages, the first
being that the most
up-to-date revisions are
available to everyone.
Secondly, maintenance
tasks can be created
through Thunder
Notification, which
are sent directly from
equipment where
anomalies are detected
through sensors, or
by investigating the
Unplanned Downtime Cost Impact Report
where the service manager can identify
equipment that needs priority attention.
Based on the type of anomaly, a task
will be assigned to mechanical or electrical
personnel, or to an operator. At this point,
the technicians in question will receive
daily notifications regarding the pending
activities that need to be addressed.Once
the technician is ready to undertake the
task, they will be able to access all the
information needed to complete the job
successfully: ie, maintenance manual,
required tools and Qualitwit™ for technical
support. Once the task is completed, the
technician can ‘close’ the activity, noting
whether the issue has been solved, and
inserting notes and comments required by
the maintenance manager.
Results
Through ZERO™ it has been possible to
increase maintenance efficiency and,
in general, overall plant availability by
minimising unplanned stoppages and the
time required to restart operations after a
failure. Its key feature is an advanced and
automatic maintenance task schedule,
a tool which allows plant personnel to
easily follow the progress of maintenance
operations and enable technicians to focus
on the job in-hand. The working day can
be managed more effectively, maximising
productivity. Moreover, this simplified
approach to maintenance means
emergencies can be handled without
the maintenance manager having to be
present on site. n
