Jacobs Partners with Atos to Deliver Powerful Predictive Maintenance Solutions
Helping clients drive down operational costs and optimize performance
DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) and Atos,
a global leader in digital transformation, have reached a non-exclusive
collaboration agreement to provide predictive, condition-based
maintenance and field services optimization solutions to clients across
industry sectors including water, energy, transport, aviation, nuclear
and the built environment. The enhanced data capture and analysis offers
clients greater understanding of their assets, helping them to reduce
operational and reactive maintenance costs, optimize performance, and
increase return on asset investment.
“This collaboration with Atos will help us create more opportunities to
leverage disruptive technology and deliver strategic digital innovation
for complex government, infrastructure and industrial programs,” said
Jacobs Buildings and Infrastructure Europe Senior Vice President and
General Manager Donald Morrison. “With our in-depth industry knowledge
and combined digital capabilities, we are well positioned to help our
clients achieve performance excellence and maximize their opportunities
in this dynamic technology space.”
“All industries are undergoing huge transformation due to the maturing
of the Internet of Things (IoT) and analytics services,” said Senior
Vice President and Global Head of Atos IoT Services Paul Albada
Jelgersma. “The digitization of front-line operations means solutions
that reduce cost through predictive and preventative maintenance are in
high demand. This is a highly synergistic collaboration and our
recognized expertise in end-to-end strategy covering consulting,
development, advanced analytics, managed IoT and IoT security will
enable us to provide integrated solutions to clients from the outset.”
Harnessing the professional technical services expertise of Jacobs with
the digital and IoT capabilities of Atos, the combined offering will
provide further value to clients through real-time insights that detect
anomalies and performance patterns, determine critical assets and
understand the root cause of asset failure. This enables clients to
better anticipate potential asset failure and performance issues, and to
proactively plan for timely maintenance and replacement.
The collaboration will leverage part of the Atos
Codex portfolio of offerings, together with Jacobs
Connected Enterprise (JCE), a suite of integrated digital
capabilities and solutions in data analytics, IoT deployment and cyber
security.
The agreement will initially focus on the U.K. with the option to extend
to other markets.
