Serba Dinamik eyes more smart maintenance

Contracts

KUALA LUMPUR: Engineering services provider Serba Dinamik Holdings Bhd plans to aggressively look for opportunities in smart maintenance projects next year, said group managing director and chief executive officer Datuk Dr Mohd Karim Abdullah.

He said the group strongly believed that the smart maintenance systems and applications that it had developed would help asset owners to improve in terms of assets and productivity.

Serba Dinamik aimed to expand the services to the Middle East and Central Asia, apart from the existing projects in Malaysia and Indonesia, he said.

“We have received a purchase order from Indonesia for us to carry out the smart maintenance implementation of their assets.

“In Malaysia, what has been agreed upon is that the national oil company has allowed Serba Dinamik to use the smart maintenance systems and applications that we have developed in the contracts that we have secured with Petronas,” he told Bernama at the International Applied Vibration Conference 2019.

Karim, who is also deputy president of the Institute of Materials Malaysia, said Serba Dinamik was looking to expand the smart maintenance applications to sectors like power generation and facility management.

“Our smart maintenance systems and applications can also be used in buildings maintenance and other assets which is related to the building itself,” he added.

Overall, Karim said the adoption of Industry 4.0 (IR4.0) in the local oil and gas industry is low and awareness is needed to fast-track the IR4.0 adoption among these companies.

Serba Dinamik is an international services group providing integrated engineering solutions to the oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation industries, waste and wastewater, and utilities. To-date, the group’s order book has exceeded Rm10bil.
