SIA Glass started in 1961 by making ice cream. Over the years, the business has grown a lot to satisfy the Swedes' desire for frozen treats in different flavours.
Being in the food and beverage industry, SIA Glass has had many requirements for supervision and control, something that Facility Manager Torbjörn Österby is well aware of. He understands that efficient and safe production also requires well-functioning maintenance and good system support.
- We previously had a different maintenance programme, but it didn't work at all. The staff were not able to work with it, says Torbjörn Österby.
In a complex food industry, the best maintenance is what actually gets done. Torbjörn Österby says that MaintMaster has helped SIA Glass' maintenance work through the simplicity and user-friendliness of the maintenance software.
- We have noticed a huge difference (compared to the previous maintenance software) that MaintMaster is so much easier to work with.
Since every work environment is different, a flexible system can make things easier for the staff. Torbjörn Österby continues:
- MaintMaster is a system that we understand. We can modify it to the way we want it to be here.
And the simplicity, user-friendliness and flexibility of the maintenance software seems to be paying off. With MaintMaster, the staff at SIA Glass have noticed significantly less unplanned stops.
In line with increased demand, the production has now expanded further. This is good news for all Swedes who are hoping to keep enjoying SIA ice cream for a long time to come.
