Inspections, maintenance and servicing work can be combined and plans made to carry it out during the revision or shutdown of the unit or plant.

The increase in the complexity of technical units and plants and the requirements on the part of production for the availability of these units and plants ensure that considerable efforts are made regarding optimization of fully continuous processes during a shutdown period at refineries and power stations, for example, The important thing is to keep production downtimes as brief as possible.

The Comos Shutdown has been created out of the many years of experience of MCE Chemserv, within the MCE AG corporate group, in the field of shutdown/ revision management and allows for the optimal planning of unit and plant shutdowns, the organization of major plant reconstruction projects or the planning of unit or plant shutdowns.

Each individual process can organized separately for a specific field (mechanical, E/I&C, etc.).

With integrated resources management it is possible to plan the resources for maintenance, inspections and repairs along the time axis. Planning data can be exported to an external planning program (such as MS Project, for example) for detailed planning and subsequently imported back into iAge. This makes it possible to organize resources without duplicated data inputs and with full integration into the usual planning programs and thus provide linked controlling.

Key Benefits

• Up to date recording of actual data on the activity level -> basis for planning of the next shutdown
• Automatic calculation of the amount covered – comparison of planned vs. actual data (export to MS Excel)
• Tracking of costs on the basis of the data for actual time recording and the amount covered
• Key figures of the shutdown as a basis for emergency/crisis management (unplanned unit and plant downtime)
• iAge logistics management by means of barcodes: ability to track the equipment path (unit-workshop-unit)
• Professional blank management: linking with P&ID schematic diagrams.
