Case Study: Maritime Developments achieves 20% reduction in unplanned maintenance with Eptura Asset

Maritime Developments’ shift from reactive to proactive maintenance strategies

Maritime Developments (MDL) is a global leader in flexible lay and retrieval subsea solutions, with a Flexlay Solutions division that operates high-capacity, high-value equipment in some of the harshest offshore environments. As MDL expanded into renewable energy and scaled operations, managing 1,000+ complex assets with spreadsheets and manual processes became unsustainable, causing long technician data-entry times and increased risk of unplanned failures. To address this, MDL partnered with Eptura and implemented Eptura Asset, a digital asset management platform.

Eptura delivered a real-time, centralized asset management solution—including child‑parent asset mapping, analytics and PowerBI reporting—that enabled predictive and condition‑based maintenance. The Eptura deployment gave MDL visibility to monitor asset health and reliability, resulting in a 20% reduction in unplanned maintenance, a 15% decrease in overall maintenance costs, technicians saving 8+ hours per week on logging, and centralized monitoring of 1,000+ critical assets.
