Opening of bluebee® technologies office in Hongkong

Siveco China is pleased to announce the opening of its bluebee^® technologies office in Hongkong on June 18th. The company will focus on the development of the bluebee^® business, both software and services, outside of mainland China. It will also conduct new R&D projects related to bluebee^®, in liaison with the main bluebee^® R&D office in Shanghai.

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.

The company has already signed its first contract for the provision of engineering services for a large petrochemical plant located in Malaysia. Siveco already has customers in Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, as well as in Sudan.

Based on a long experience of "maintenance with Chinese characteristics", Siveco has developed a unique approach to address the needs of plants, facilities and infrastructures owners in China through the utilization of technological tools. While the market has historically been plagued by IT suppliers without understanding of industrial reality, Siveco is run by maintenance people for maintenance people, focusing on obtaining rapid and sustainable improvement.
