Faced with the growing obsolescence of industrial facilities, physical storage is reaching its limits. Discover how the synergy between industrial maintenance digital inventory and additive manufacturing allows for the production of critical parts on demand. This disruptive strategy guarantees the service continuity of energy and transport infrastructures while eliminating prohibitive delivery times.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Industrial obsolescence management: Why are your assets at a standstill?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For an Asset Management manager in the energy or rail sectors, the scenario is classically tragic. A train set is immobilized in a workshop or a high-voltage transformer is out of service due to a single faulty mechanical part. The underlying problem stems from the fact that the original supplier disappeared ten years ago or announces a production lead time of six months.<\/span><\/p>

The immobilization of critical assets does not just represent a logistical challenge; it represents a major financial drain. In the energy sector, every failure directly impacts the continuity of distribution networks. The associated costs are not limited to the part itself but encompass delay penalties, loss of operation, and the massive storage fees of components kept just in case.<\/span><\/p>

This management of suffered industrial obsolescence becomes a major strategic risk. Managing requests for manufacturing spare parts has become an absolute priority because every immobilization directly impacts product availability and the fluidity of mobility networks. To alleviate this vulnerability, sector leaders no longer content themselves with storing physical metal. Instead, they store technical data. The objective is to transition from physical flow logistics to a framework of digital maintenance continuity that allows teams to recreate any component at any time.<\/span><\/p>
