"Optimizing Maintenance process and Asset Management " at Korrun's by Implementing Cryotos CMMS

Introduction

Founded in 2005, Korrun India Private Limited is a global leader in the luggage and bag industry. Korrun has made its mark through advanced product innovations, high-quality manufacturing processes, and a strong commitment to environmental sustainability. The company operates in both B2B and B2C models, offering high-value products to global brands and consumers alike.

• B2B: Korrun collaborates with prestigious international brands such as Nike, Adidas, and PUMA, combining its advanced R&D capabilities with a strong presence in textile and fabric production.
• B2C: The company also has its own luggage and bag brand, NINETYGO, in collaboration with Xiaomi, focusing on innovative product designs, quality, and cutting-edge technology.

With manufacturing bases in China, India, and Indonesia, Korrun aims to stay ahead of the competition by continuously improving product innovation, quality, and its operations. However, as the company expanded its operations globally, it encountered several challenges in managing its machinery and maintenance processes effectively.

Challenges Faced by Korrun

Despite its global success, Korrun faced numerous operational hurdles related to machine maintenance and asset tracking. These challenges not only affected the company’s ability to streamline operations but also led to inefficiencies and increased costs.

Solution Provided: The Computerized Machine Management System

To address these challenges, Korrun implemented Cryotos CMMS that revolutionized the way the company handled maintenance operations, asset tracking, and production management. This integrated solution allowed Korrun to streamline its maintenance processes, improved and transparent asset tracking, and enhance operational efficiency.The key features of the solution were specifically tailored to overcome the company's challenges:

• Mobile Application for Real-Time Breakdown Logging: A key aspect of the solution was the introduction of a mobile application that allowed end users to log breakdowns on the go. This mobile platform gave the production team real time access to the maintenance system, enabling them to quickly report machine malfunctions, ensuring no delays in responding to issues. This feature was critical for maintaining operational continuity.
• Biometric Login and Face Identification for Seamless Access: To enhance security and ease of use, the mobile app featured biometric login and face identification. This allowed maintenance team members to log in quickly without needing to remember passwords, ensuring that access was both secure and efficient. This feature saved time and minimized the risk of unauthorized access to the system.
• Centralized Asset Data Management: The CMMS provided Korrun with a centralized platform to track and manage assets across various locations. The system collected all relevant data in one place, enabling real-time visibility of asset conditions, maintenance history, and machine performance. This helped Korrun monitor the health of its machinery and make data-driven decisions for better asset management.
• Business Intelligence (BI) Tool for Comprehensive Reporting: The system integrated a BI tool that generated comprehensive reports based on data entered by the maintenance and production teams. These reports provided graphical representations of breakdown patterns, maintenance performance, and machine health, making it easier for the management team to assess performance, identify recurring issues, and plan improvements.
• Preventive Maintenance and Breakdown Categorization: The CMMS allowed Korrun to effectively categorize maintenance tasks into planned and unplanned categories, providing better clarity on the nature of repairs needed. It also facilitated preventive maintenance by scheduling routine checks and tasks ahead of time, reducing the occurrence of unplanned breakdowns and increasing production uptime.
• Asset Movement Tracking Across Locations: The system enabled Korrun to track assets as they moved between different locations. By providing a clear overview of asset location and movement, the company could better manage inventory, avoid asset misplacement, and reduce the downtime associated with missing or misplaced equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• Asset Transfer Tracking:
• Mobile Biometric/Face Identification:
• Comprehensive BI Tool Reports:

Results and Benefits

The implementation of Cryotos CMMS brought significant improvements in Korrun's Maintenance and operations. The key benefits included:

• Improved Maintenance Efficiency: By enabling real-time logging of breakdowns and providing a streamlined maintenance scheduling system, Korrun reduced response times to issues and ensured that problems were resolved promptly.
• Enhanced Asset Management: The centralized asset data collection system provided accurate, real-time information on the status of all machinery. This improved decision-making and allowed Korrun to perform more proactive maintenance, avoiding costly breakdowns.
• Increased Production Uptime: With the integration of preventive maintenance practices, planned maintenance tasks were completed on schedule, leading to fewer unexpected breakdowns. This directly resulted in higher production uptime and more efficient manufacturing processes.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: The BI tool’s detailed reports allowed Korrun to analyze trends in machine performance and breakdowns, enabling better long-term planning and strategic decision-making. This data-driven approach empowered Korrun to continuously optimize its operations.
