Article "The Future of Operation & Maintenance" published in APUEA Magazine

2021-07-12
The magazine of the Asia Pacific Urban Energy Association (APUEA) published "The Future of Operation & Maintenance", an article in which Siveco China exposes its contrarian take on the subject. How does the technology revolution impact O&M and how real experience, rather than technology, can drive successful projects?
 
"The main challenge of O&M is not its lack of efficiency, as technologists seem to believe. Instead, it is to address strategic needs, O&M risks, compliance. And doing so efficiently, of course. One of our strategic needs is also to enable workers with limited skills to deal with increasing sophisticated assets, in an increasingly complicated, regulated, risky world. "
 
 
The article is available here in PDF (in English only), a Chinese translation will be published in the future. The full magazine is available on the APUEA website.
