Cotonificio Albini Digitizes Asset Management with Infor
Infor announced that Cotonificio Albini, famous Italian brand and the largest European manufacturer of shirt fabrics, has chosen Infor CloudSuite EAM (enterprise asset management) to help digitize the corporate asset management. Implemented by Italian partner Know-How, this will allow them to improve its management of the maintenance processes of the group’s assets and operating personnel. Formed in 1876, Cotonificio Albini manages a large portfolio of assets at its factories in Italy, Egypt and the Czech Republic. With no prvious IT system in place for controlling asset management, the selection of Infor CloudSuite EAM provides a global and unified platform with common graphics to control maintenance costs, purchasing and component replenishment. Cotonificio Albini will implement a series of modules relating to the request of the work order following the reporting of a fault, work order planning for maintenance workers, the procurement and consumption processes of spare materials and activities related to inventory, up to intra-warehouse transfers and specific user-warehouse authorizations. Per the press release, the rollout of the solution involves three phases, with the initial go-live during the first quarter of 2020 at three plants in the province of Bergamo, two in Albino and one in Gandino, which will be followed by the Brebbia plant (VA) and Tessitura di Mottola (TA) and finally the foreign branches in Egypt and the Czech Republic.
