On-Demand Manufacturing for the Energy Sector

Energy companies have vast networks of aging machines, often in remote locations, making it difficult to get parts as needed without significant revenue loss due to operational downtime.

On-demand manufacturing methods can reduce lead time and improve access to parts by producing them closer to their end-use.

Adopting on-demand manufacturing methods in tandem with software to identify qualified part business cases and manage a network of approved suppliers provides energy sectors with the resources to keep equipment operational and reduce the financial impact of machine downtime.
