WorkFlow and FRIAMAT 7 prime
The Challenge
Previously, employees at Stadtwerke Bad Nauheim used a USB stick to store, track, distribute and file the collected data when fusing pipe fittings to pipes. The data, geodata and images of completed projects were then stored in the so-called "house connection file". Employees from various departments manually downloaded the data and information as required.
The Solution
The fitters now work with smartphones via Bluetooth on the construction site for the fusion process of pipe fittings, using four FRIAMAT 7 prime devices based on the device subscription with the digital assistant WorkFlow from Aliaxis Germany. The fusions are documented in a legally compliant manner using the DVS protocol (DVS 2207-1). In addition, geodata storage on the construction site is planned by linking the WorkFlow assistant from Aliaxis Deutschland with an external antenna. This means that separate calibration will no longer be necessary. The data is now recorded quickly, accurately, clearly and in real time and stored with WorkFlow.
The Realisation
Employees have complete and continuous access to all information and processes on their smartphones via the WorkFlow app and on their laptops using WorkFlow in the cloud. Access to all projects is now faster, easier and more reliable in each individual case. In addition, the interfaces between different departments are shortened and optimized. The equipment subscription gives Stadtwerke Bad Nauheim a permanent guarantee of use, 24/7 availability without downtime and free service for the FRIAMAT 7 prime fusion units thanks to the support of Aliaxis Germany employees. There are no maintenance costs, hidden costs or delays, and fusion units that fail are replaced with an equivalent machine within 24 hours. Project and customer support is provided directly between the responsible employees at Stadtwerke Bad Nauheim and the specialist staff at Aliaxis Deutschland. Shortened and direct communication means that constant availability, services and any maintenance are guaranteed and can be carried out quickly.
The Conclusion
With the help of the digital solution WorkFlow App and Web from Aliaxis Deutschland, Stadtwerke Bad Nauheim was able to streamline its fusion processes, make them clearer, speed them up in real time and make work easier on the construction site by operating the FRIAMAT 7 prime fusion units. The customer praises the constant availability and functionality of the digital assistant and the ease of working in the trench and at the desk. Andreas Wehnes, Gas and Water, makes this clear: "With the help of the WorkFlow app and web, work is always faster than before and in no way longer or more complicated." He also praises the service and support provided by the specialist staff at Aliaxis Germany.
