Case Study: Castrol Ghent halves equipment failures and saves €360,000 annually with Ultimo EAM Software

Castrol Ghent halves failures and saves €360,000 with Ultimo Software Solutions

Castrol Ghent, a major lubricant production site, faced challenges with reactive maintenance, poor data quality, and fragmented processes managed through Excel, leading to unplanned downtime and repeated audit findings. They partnered with Ultimo Software Solutions, implementing its Ultimo EAM system to centralize and professionalize their maintenance operations.

The solution, implemented in phases with partner MaxGrip, made Ultimo the central nervous system for maintenance, enabling planned workflows, better work preparation, and data-driven management. This transformation, guided by Ultimo, resulted in maintenance maturity jumping from 40% to 82%, equipment failures being halved, and annual savings of €360,000, alongside significantly higher asset availability and production reliability.
