Challenges
Network downtime interrupted SAP access – Technicians on offshore rigs relied on VSAT communication, which periodically became unavailable.
Paper-based maintenance processes created errors – Work orders, time confirmations, and goods issues were recorded on paper when SAP access was unavailable.
Delayed SAP updates slowed maintenance reporting – Information captured on paper could only be entered into SAP after connectivity was restored.
Limited access to maintenance data offshore – Technicians had restricted access to equipment records and work order details while working remotely.
Solution
Offline SAP PM execution on handheld scanguns – Technicians create notifications, generate work orders, confirm time, and issue goods from mobile devices.
Offline access to SAP maintenance data – Maintenance personnel can view and update work order and equipment information without network connectivity.
Local storage of SAP PM data – Device-based storage provides access to relevant maintenance records during offline operations.
Automated synchronization with SAP – Updates made offline are synchronized with SAP once connectivity is restored.
