Milcobel, the leading Belgian Dairy Cooperative and a premium dairy manufacturer, has chosen SOA People’s Ready4 Asset Management as their future CMMS platform.
Milcobel is undertaking a journey of digital transformation, implementing SAP S/4 HANA as their new ERP cornerstone. However, their maintenance team clung to a legacy software for support, posing challenges. To mitigate risks and streamline their architecture, Milcobel's maintenance and IT teams agreed on initiating a market analysis to search for the optimal solution for their specific case.
Following a thorough market survey in which multiple best-of-breed solutions and standard SAP were evaluated, there were sufficient compelling arguments to go for SOA People's Ready4 Asset Management. “Our decision was based on the intuitive user interface, seamless integration with SAP S/4 HANA, and augmented functionalities—ranging from empowerment to enriched planning, scheduling, checklist manager and work permits”, says Robert Moeyens, Group Business Process Change Manager.
When integrated, SOA People's Ready4 Asset Management will bring significant added value for Milcobel’s maintenance teams:
In this trajectory, Milcobel's maintenance future aligns innovation and legacy, setting a precedent for holistic industrial advancement.
Milcobel is a reference on the international dairy market. They stand for premium quality, safety and customer focus. Milcobel processes 1.4 billion liters of milk annually, translating into a remarkable 1.36 billion EUR in revenues for 2022.
With a dynamic team of 1,800 professionals stationed across production sites in Belgium and France, Milcobel's influence extends far beyond. Impressively, over 100 nations embrace the cooperative's dairy components, transcending the confines of the EU.
