Water utility selects bluebee® Android solution for inspections

An industrial water treatment company in Shanghai has selected Siveco's bluebee^® solution "for the worker of tomorrow" to optimize its inspection process, covering both wastewater treatment plants and water supply network.

The app runs on any Android mobile, enabling employees to use company smartphones as well as their own mobiles (a practice known as BYOD for Bring Your Own Device). The mobile app integrates with the company's maintenance management system through the bluebee^® cloud integration platform. Other large-scale Android deployments of bluebee^® in Shanghai include Carrefour China and Green Property Management.

bluebee^® is Siveco's suite of mobile solutions for the "worker of tomorrow", designed for technicians in the plant or in the field. Running on smartphone or tablet, the solution works with any back-office maintenance management database. Engineers conduct site surveys (safety, energy, maintenance) and get immediate assistance from the technical knowledge base. Non-compliance and risk areas are instantaneously reported to the central system. Scanning of asset tags (barcode or RFID) and GPS positioning ensures that inspections are actually performed.

bluebee^® cloud is Siveco's central management tool, designed for large multisite organizations. Accessible on large touchscreen display (control center) and on any PC, bluebee^® cloud provides powerful built-in management functionalities to display data in maps and charts, manage central technical data, plan and track activities, produce KPIs and management reports, manage mobile devices and integrate seamlessly with other subsystems (GIS, SCADA, video surveillance, site-level CMMS/EAM, etc.). Functional coverage includes risk prevention, maintenance, meter readings, compliance reporting based on data from the field (mobile users and online monitoring).
