Location: Ringaskiddy, Ireland
Facility Type: Bio-pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Campus Size: 8 Buildings across 116.5 acres
Systems Visulised: SAP CMMS and RFID Asset Tracking system
Project Date: January 2025

Plantquest has partnered with a renowned biopharmaceutical facility in Ringaskiddy, Cork, Ireland. We have deployed our OneView platform to meet all their asset management and site visualisation challenges. PlantQuest has been adopted as part of this customer's digital strategy initiative, equipping themselves with the best in visualisation technology.

The Challenge Faced

  • The biopharma site is home to on-site 600 workers, all of whom had no accusable platform for locating assets and navigating efficiently throughout their facility.
  • The client required platform to enable workers to be able to easily locate all assets and rooms, along with its respective metadata. This was required in order to further optimise work planning and execution across asset management, engineering, construction, and operations/productions.
  • They wanted web and iOS tablet applications so their workers could use the solution from both their desktop and a tablet when in the field.
  • Additionally, the site asked for the ability to capture asset locations and verify SAP data within the field.
  • With over 1,500 mobile assets of interest, the site had an RFID solution already in place and wished to use PlantQuest as to show their up-to-date locations. The site is tracking assets such as Totes, SUMs, calibration standards and EHS assets such as ladders and lifting straps.
  • Operated by one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, this biopharma facility is large and complex, has over 950 rooms and areas across 8 buildings and 6 different levels.

The Solution

  • PlantQuest delivered an interactive and searchable map of their facility covering all rooms and levels
  • Working with our partners Murphy Geospatial, we captured 35,000 sq ft across Plant Rooms, Utilities, Interstitials and Tech Spaces using 360 photography and LiDAR technology. This was integrated into PlantQuest OneView to provide the ultimate asset and facility visibility. Think of it as Google Maps to Street View experience
  • A project is currently underway to integrate SAP data and the same with AUXIS, an RFID system, for asset tracking. The solution has been made available to 600 site users across all departments
