Case Study: Shell Sarnia Refinery streamlines operations with MachineMax

The Shell Sarnia Manufacturing Centre in Ontario, Canada, faced the challenge of a lack of visibility into the utilization and impact of its over 100 pieces of machinery on its 540-acre site. With no data on machine usage, idling, CO2 impact or hours worked, it was difficult to streamline operations and identify opportunities for improvement. To tackle these challenges, Shell Sarnia expanded the MachineMax system across their site which has enabled the team to identify several inefficiencies, such as low utilization, idling and hours worked. Subsequently, they were able to take measures to remove unutilized vehicles and reassign others to reduce costs.

Jason Kimball - Maintenance, Construction and Turnaround Manager at Shell said: "By taking the first five vehicles out of the fleet and reallocating around ten others the MachineMax platform has already paid for itself for the next five years, and it has only been four months"
